Block Management Motspur Park

Motspur Park'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.

Culture of Motspur Park

History of Motspur Park

Motspur Park, located in southwest London, has its roots in the 14th century when the Mot family owned land in the area. By the 17th century, the land was known as Motts Spur Farm, and the name evolved to Motspur Farm by the 19th century. The area remained predominantly rural until the early 20th century. The opening of the Kingston Bypass (A3) in 1926 and the establishment of Motspur Park railway station in 1925 catalyzed suburban development. This led to the construction of terraced houses and the establishment of local amenities, transforming Motspur Park into a thriving residential community .

During World War II, Motspur Park experienced significant damage from aerial bombings. Approximately 30 high-explosive bombs fell across the district between October 1940 and June 1941, with notable incidents in Claremont Avenue and Marina Avenue. Despite the destruction, the community rebuilt, and post-war affluence led to housing extensions and the development of local businesses. The area also became known for its sports facilities, including the University of London athletics stadium, which hosted notable events such as the world mile record set by Sydney Wooderson in 1937. Today, Motspur Park continues to be a vibrant suburb with a rich history.
