Block Management Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes'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 Milton Keynes

Milton Keynes, located in Buckinghamshire, has a unique and modern history, standing out as one of the UK’s most ambitious post-war urban developments. Unlike many towns with centuries of organic growth, Milton Keynes was officially designated in 1967 to relieve housing pressure from London. Named after the nearby village of Milton Keynes, the new town was carefully planned, featuring a grid road system, extensive green spaces, and purpose-built neighbourhoods. The vision was to create a balanced, self-sustaining city that combined the best of urban and rural living, something Milton Keynes has proudly continued to develop over the decades.

Since its foundation, Milton Keynes has grown rapidly, becoming a major centre for business, innovation, and culture. The area’s modern infrastructure, including wide boulevards, cycle paths, and expansive parks, set Milton Keynes apart from traditional towns. Milton Keynes also became known for its iconic architecture and public art, such as the famous Concrete Cows. Excellent transport links, including proximity to the M1 and fast train services to London—have boosted its appeal to residents and investors alike. Today, Milton Keynes stands as a symbol of forward-thinking urban design, blending practicality, green living, and continuous growth in the heart of England.
