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, located just 1.1 miles west of Charing Cross in central London, has a rich history that dates back to Roman times. A Roman settlement was once in the area, with a culvert made of brick and stone discovered in 1894. The area has been historically divided into two sections: Old Bond Street to the south and New Bond Street to the north. Sir Thomas Bond, a developer in the 1720s, played a key role in shaping the area by developing the street and building on the fields surrounding Clarendon House. By the end of the 18th century, Marylebone became a popular socializing spot for wealthy residents, with exclusive shops and cultural establishments like the Fine Art Society (established in 1876) and the Grosvenor Gallery in nearby New Bond Street.

In the 17th century, Marylebone evolved into a fashionable residential area, with elegant Georgian townhouses and landmarks like Marylebone Gardens adding to its appeal. The arrival of the railway and the construction of Marylebone Station in the 19th century further increased its prominence. Today, Marylebone is a vibrant mix of historical charm and modern sophistication, with popular spots like Marylebone High Street offering boutique shops, fine dining, and cultural attractions.
