Block Management Mitcham

Mitcham'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.

History of Mitcham

New Mitcham, situated in the London Borough of Merton, has evolved from a rural settlement into a vibrant suburban area, reflecting the broader patterns of urban development in 20th-century Britain. While the term "New Mitcham" isn't officially designated, it commonly refers to the areas developed during the interwar period and beyond, characterized by modern housing estates and improved infrastructure. These developments were part of a concerted effort to accommodate London's growing population and provide better living conditions. The area's transformation is a testament to the dynamic changes that shaped suburban London during this era.

In the early 20th century, Mitcham experienced significant industrial growth, particularly along the River Wandle. The establishment of Mitcham Junction station in 1868 facilitated the expansion of industries such as paint, fireworks, and confectionery. However, by the mid-20th century, many of these industries declined, leading to the redevelopment of industrial sites into residential areas. This shift was accompanied by the construction of council housing estates, such as those in Phipps Bridge and Pollards Hill, aiming to provide quality homes for returning servicemen and their families after World War II. The legacy of these developments continues to influence the character and community life of New Mitcham today. The history of New Mitcham illustrates the broader trends of suburban expansion and urban renewal in 20th-century London. From its rural origins to its transformation into a bustling suburban community, New Mitcham's development reflects the changing needs and aspirations of its residents. Today, it stands as a vibrant area that balances modern living with a rich historical heritage.
