Block Management Medway

Medway '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."

History of Medway

Medway is a conurbation in the county of Kent, situated in the southeastern part of England. The name "Medway" originates from the River Medway, which runs through the region, and the area has a long and storied history, stretching back to ancient times. The Romans established settlements in the area, with the town of Rochester being a significant location. This is evidenced by the well-preserved Rochester Castle and Rochester Cathedral, both of which were constructed during the medieval period.

During the Norman period, Medway developed into a strategic military and maritime hub due to its location along the river. The Royal Navy established a strong presence in the region, with the town of Chatham becoming an important naval dockyard. The Chatham Dockyard, founded in the 16th century, played a critical role in the production and repair of ships, contributing to the area's economic development.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Medway became an industrial powerhouse, with shipbuilding, manufacturing, and engineering dominating its economy. The decline of the naval industry in the late 20th century led to the region's economic restructuring, but Medway has since diversified and modernized, with a focus on services, technology, and creative industries. Today, Medway is known for its historical landmarks, vibrant cultural scene, and growing residential communities, making it a key area within Kent and the greater London commuter belt.
