Block Management Mill Hill

Mill Hill '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.

Mill Hill - Cultural Scene

History of Mill Hill

Mill Hill is located in the borough of Barnet, north London, approximately 9 miles from central London. The area’s original name, Myllehill, was first recorded in 1547, meaning "hill with a windmill," likely referring to a windmill built on The Ridgeway, an open field known as The Mill Field. From the 17th century onwards, Mill Hill became a popular country retreat due to its proximity to London, with many large estates and houses built during the early 18th century still standing today. The demand for staff to manage these estates and farms led to an increase in the local population.

In 1807, a nonconformist school was established, which is now Mill Hill School. Several Roman Catholic institutions were built in the 1860s, and in 1833, the Wilberforce Anglican Church was constructed. The opening of Mill Hill station in 1867 on the Edgware, Highgate, and London Railway, followed by its transformation into an Underground station in 1941 on the Northern Line, greatly improved access to London. In 1868, the original Lawrence Street station opened on the Midlands Railway and was renamed Mill Hill Broadway in 1950. From the 1860s onward, the development of railways spurred a housing boom. The construction of the Barnet Bypass in 1926 increased commercial activity, particularly in the lower end of Lawrence Street, later renamed The Broadway. The population of Mill Hill grew rapidly, from 1,335 in 1880 to 6,055 in 1921, and to 56,031 in 1931. By 2011, Mill Hill’s population was 18,451, and it officially became a suburb of London in 1965, having previously been part of Middlesex.
