Block Management Limehouse

Limehouse'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.

"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."

Limehouse - Cultural Scene

History of Limehouse

 Limehouse, a historic district in East London, derives its name from the lime kilns used for pottery production and shipbuilding in the area. The name "Limehouse" first appeared in records from 1356 as "Les Lymhostes" and was later referred to as "Lymhosteys" in the early 1400s. The area's proximity to the River Thames made it an important port during medieval times, focusing on shipbuilding, rope-making, and supplying ships. By the Elizabethan era, Limehouse had become a major commercial center, with much of its population involved in maritime trades. It was a hub for both shipbuilding and pottery production, supporting the growing industries of London's Docklands.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Limehouse became home to London's first Chinatown, attracting Chinese sailors and immigrants. This vibrant community brought cultural diversity, with landmarks such as a Confucian temple and Chinese-Christian Mission. However, Limehouse's Chinatown also faced prejudice and negative stereotypes in popular culture. Over time, the area has transformed into a dynamic residential and commercial district, with the Limehouse Basin now serving as a marina. Despite modern development, Limehouse continues to embrace its maritime heritage, offering a unique blend of history and contemporary life in East London.
