Block Management Marylebone

Marylebone'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."

Marylebone - Cultural Scene

History of Marylebone

Marylebone is situated just 1.1 miles west of Charing Cross, central London. A Roman settlement was once in the area: in 1894 a culvert made from brick and stone was discovered there. 
The area has always been divided into two sections: Old Bond Street to the south, and New Bond Street to the north. The street is named after Sir Thomas Bond, a developer who played an important role. In the 1720s, he developed the street, built on fields surrounding Clarendon House on Piccadilly. By the end of the 18th century, it became a popular place for wealthy residents of Mayfair to socialise. Esteemed and expensive shops were established along the street. However, although it declined in the 19th century, it maintained its reputation as a fashionable centre for retail and the arts. For example, in 1876, the Fine Art Society was established; and in 1877, the Grosvenor Gallery was opened, in nearby New Bond Street. 
Marylebone has been mentioned in works of literature, including Jane Austen's novel, Sense and Sensibility, and Virigina Woolf's novel, Mrs Dalloway.
Currently, Sotheby's and Bonhams (formerly Phillips), auction houses, the department store Fenwick, and jeweller Tiffany's, are notable, popular establishments. Bond Street has, in certain instances, been regarded as the best retail location in Europe.

By the 17th century, Marylebone began to develop into a fashionable residential area, attracting wealthy Londoners. The construction of elegant Georgian townhouses and the establishment of landmarks like Marylebone Gardens contributed to its appeal. In the 19th century, the arrival of the railway and the development of Marylebone Station further enhanced its accessibility and prominence. Today, Marylebone is celebrated for its blend of historical charm and modern vibrancy, with iconic streets like Marylebone High Street offering a mix of boutique shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions
