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.


Block Management Reviews

"Moving was as easy as it could be. We arrived late, but the lettings advisor was still on hand to hand them over. She also organised a second (same day) clean because we weren't satisfied with the clean that had already been done. This was a great help especially with us having a two year old."

"Having been at the flat for less than a week, we are thoroughly impressed with Anaconda Cut, from our flat to the facilities and location. The team demonstrated exceptional assistance, attentiveness, and thoroughness throughout the entire process. We are extremely pleased."

"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 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.

Things to do in Marylebone

Marylebone is an elegant residential area with a country feel centered around the independent shops and fine restaurants of Marylebone High Street. Visitors line up outside Madame Tussauds and the Sherlock Holmes Museum, home to the fictional detective, at 221b Baker Street. The Georgian mansion, which houses the Wallace art collection and antique furniture, represents the elegant architecture of the area.

Marylebone - Cultural Scene

Marylebone has been a fashionable borough of London since at least the 17th century - as evidenced by the list of notable residents (past and present). Today, it has become a world-renowned shopping destination. Skip Oxford Street and stroll down Marylebone's quieter, more elegant street, home to the famous Daunt Books. The area is also home to an excellent dining scene, with newcomers from the world-famous Chiltern Firehouse to the Termini Centrale bar, making it the perfect destination for Negroni fans. The forest also has attractions including Madame Tussauds, the Sherlock Holmes Museum and the fascinating Wallace Collection. But mostly people come here to wander the beautiful streets of Georgia and enjoy the elegant atmosphere. Now it is not refined.
