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

Mayfair, located in the City of Westminster, London, is one of the city's most prestigious and historic districts. While evidence from Roman roads suggests early settlement during the establishment of Londinium, Mayfair remained largely undeveloped until the 17th century. The area was primarily open fields until the May Fair, an annual event previously held in Haymarket, moved to the Shepherd Market area in 1686 due to overcrowding. This event gave the district its name and marked the beginning of its transformation. By the early 18th century, Mayfair began to evolve from rural land into a residential area for the wealthy.

A key figure in Mayfair’s development was the Grosvenor family, later known as the Dukes of Westminster. Through marriage, they acquired much of the land and began constructing elegant Georgian townhouses around iconic squares such as Grosvenor Square, Berkeley Square, and Hanover Square. By the late 18th century, Mayfair had become a symbol of affluence and exclusivity—a status it has maintained over time. In the 20th century, many grand residences were converted into embassies, offices, and luxury hotels. Today, Mayfair remains a hub of sophistication, known for its upscale boutiques, fine dining, and cultural landmarks.
