Block Management Northolt

Northolt'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 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 Northolt

Northolt, in the London Borough of Ealing, is an ancient parish with Anglo-Saxon origins. "Northolt" is a combination of the Old English "north" and "holt," or "north wood" or "northern forest," likely meaning that it was located near woodland or wooded land. Northolt remained a rural village in medieval times, and it was primarily linked to agriculture. It lay within the larger manor of Ealing and was not extensively marred by urbanization. Northolt had a relatively peaceful history until the 19th century, during which industrialization and the development of London began to influence the area. Construction of the Grand Union Canal early in the 19th century passed through Northolt, opening up trade and infrastructure to the area. The arrival of the railway during the mid-19th century, when Northolt railway station opened in 1906, provided convenient access to central London and promoted suburban expansion in the region.

Northolt was a rural village by the 20th century but had evolved to be a suburban town with most development having occurred after the war. The increasing need for housing to accommodate London's expanding population led to residential estates, particularly post-war. The area remained quite residential and semi-rural in character compared to neighboring boroughs, with open areas like Northolt Park and surrounding countryside setting a peaceful ambiance. Northolt's proximity to Heathrow Airport, which became a major international airport in the course of the mid-20th century, also impacted its growth, especially as transportation links improved. Northolt has become a lively, cosmopolitan area with an assortment of homes, commercial developments, and greens, evenly mixed in between suburban tranquility and central London access.
