Block Management Manor House

Manor House'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.

History of Manor House

The term "Manor House" refers to the residence of a lord who governed a manor, an estate that was central to the feudal system in medieval England. After the Norman Conquest of 1066, the Normans built many manor houses across the country to manage agricultural lands granted to them by the king. Early manor houses were often simple, fortified structures made of timber and stone, designed to offer protection against potential threats. They were typically located near villages to maintain control over the surrounding land and its inhabitants. Over time, the design of manor houses evolved, and they began to include more comfortable living spaces, reflecting the growing wealth and influence of their owners.

During the Tudor and Stuart periods, manor houses were expanded and transformed into grand residences, with features like large windows, elegant gardens, and elaborate interiors. This architectural shift was influenced by Renaissance styles and the increasing prosperity of the landowning class. However, the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries led to a decline in the traditional manor system, as industrialization and urbanization took hold. Many manor houses were abandoned or repurposed for new uses, but some remain as symbols of historical wealth and power, offering insight into the lives of England’s landed gentry.
