Block Management Mayfair

Mayfair'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 Mayfair

Analysis of the roman roads in the area suggest that Romans had settled in the area while they established Londinium, which was the capital of Roman Britain. However it was only until the 17th Century when the area largely developed. Mayfair was mainly open fields until development started in the Shepherd Market area around 1686–88 to accommodate the May Fair that had moved from Haymarket in St. James's because of overcrowding.

Mayfair, located in the City of Westminster, London, is one of the most prestigious and historic districts in the city. Its history dates back to the early 18th century when it was largely rural land. The area gained its name from the annual "May Fair," which took place from 1686 to 1764 in what is now Shepherd Market.

The Grosvenor family, who became the Dukes of Westminster, played a significant role in Mayfair's development. Through marriage, they acquired the land and began transforming it into a high-end residential area. Iconic squares like Grosvenor Square, Berkeley Square, and Hanover Square were developed, surrounded by elegant Georgian townhouses.

By the late 18th century, Mayfair had become synonymous with affluence and exclusivity. Unlike some other parts of London, it has retained its prestigious status over the centuries. In the 20th century, many of its grand houses were converted into offices, embassies, and luxury hotels, further cementing its reputation as a hub for the elite.

Today, Mayfair is known for its luxury boutiques, fine dining, and cultural landmarks, making it a symbol of sophistication and heritage.
