Block Management Leytonstone

Leytonstone's No 1 Managing agent

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a ' money back guarantee ’.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.

Block Management Overview

Block and Estate Management is about the minutia done well: the role of a Managing Agent is technical, administrative, practical and political. It takes joined up thinking from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.

As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.

As a Managing Agent we know our true business is building relationships with people. Our people are empowered and know that they can make a difference to how people feel about where they live. We call our 'Property Manager's 'Relationship Managers' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. We lead the market in transparency and focusing on risk, cash, repairs and place making, usually in that order, and was the first Managing Agent to introduce a 'money back guarantee'.

We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.

Being who we are would be impossible without our passionately committed people, whose qualifications we sponsor and who we support professionally to be the best they can be, as achieving a national training award and our Silver IIP status confirms.


Block Management Reviews

"We have recently had 3 weeks when there was no uplifting of recycling or food-waste from properties at Goddard Place. I contacted Islington Recycling Services several times and finally they told me that they had lost access to the property (the other Islington disposal services managed very well during that period!). I told them to contact our Relationship Manager, but wasn't sure how long it would take them to contact her and get another fob. As soon as our Relationship Manager knew about the situation, she immediately took the initiative and hand-delivered a fob to them! Much appreciated action from her"

"The manager was extremely helpful when there was a serious leak at my daughter’s property. He quickly contacted the plumbers & kept me informed with emails on his progress arranging for them to attend & updates on their expected arrival."

"We have had a problem with noise from the flat above us in Lady Isle House Ferry Court Cardiff. We contacted a Mr Paul Staniforth who immediately became involved and addressed the situation. We really do appreciate what he has done for us and cannot thank him enough. Once again a big thank you to Mr Staniforth. The noise above was intolerable."

History of Leytonstone

Leytonstone, located in East London, has a history dating back to Roman times. The name "Leytonstone" originally came from "Leyton-atte-Stone," referring to a Roman milestone that once marked the area. It was historically part of the parish of Leyton and remained a rural hamlet until the 19th century. The arrival of the railway in 1856 spurred its development into a thriving suburban district, leading to rapid growth and urbanization.

Today, Leytonstone is perhaps best known as the birthplace of legendary filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock, with several tributes to his legacy throughout the area, including a series of statues. The district combines its historical charm with a lively community atmosphere, offering a blend of cultural landmarks, green spaces, and vibrant local life. It remains a popular area for both residents and visitors, balancing its rich heritage with modern urban development.
