Block Management Little Chalfont

Little Chalfont'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.

"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 Little Chalfont

Little Chalfont, a village in southeast Buckinghamshire, is part of the Chalfonts group, which includes Chalfont St. Giles and Chalfont St. Peter. The name "Chalfont" comes from Old English, with "cealc" meaning chalk and "funt" meaning spring, referencing the chalk-infused springs in the area. First recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Celfunte," the village evolved over time. Little Chalfont is also historically significant as the place where famed poet John Milton lived during the 1660s. He completed Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained in the cottage where he stayed, making the village an important site in literary history.

The village's development began in the late 19th century with the opening of Chalfont Road station in 1889. This led to the construction of homes around the station, transforming the area from a rural settlement to a suburban community. By 1915, the station was renamed Chalfont & Latimer, and electric trains replaced the original steam services in 1961. Today, Little Chalfont is a desirable place to live, with a high homeownership rate and a population that tends to be older than the national average. Its mix of historical charm, literary heritage, and proximity to London make it a sought-after residential area.
