Block Management Lower Edmonton

Lower Edmonton'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.

History of Lower Edmonton

Lower Edmonton, also known as Edmonton Green, has a rich history rooted in its origins as part of the ancient parish of Edmonton in Middlesex. The area was historically a rural village, with its name appearing as "Delmetone" or "Adelmetone" in the Domesday Book of 1086. It became a key settlement due to its location on the main road from London to Waltham Cross. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century, particularly the high-level station at Lower Edmonton, spurred rapid urban development, transforming it into a bustling suburban area. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the area saw the rise of industry and working-class housing, shaping its character as part of London's metropolitan expansion. Today, Lower Edmonton reflects a blend of its historical roots and modern urban life.

Toward the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the area experienced a surge in working-class occupiers, resulting in a rush of terraced houses and the beginnings of factories, all contributing to the growth of industry in Edmonton. By the early 20th century, tram services connected Lower Edmonton with further parts of London, contributing to the increase in population in the area. In spite of being damaged in the post-war period, and the area used to suffer from neglect in later decades, significant regeneration was introduced to Edmonton Green in the late 20th century, including brand new housing, new shopping spaces, and significant community facilities. Today, Lower Edmonton is a mixture of its history and modern city living.
