Block Management Norwood

Norwood'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.

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 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 Norwood

Norwood is a South London suburb located primarily in the London Borough of Lambeth but also Southwark and Croydon. Medieval times saw it being primarily open fields and countryside. Norwood in the 18th century was famous for its idyllic countryside and was a favorite haunt of London's wealthy elite, who built large villas and estates. As London expanded, the region became a developed city area in the 19th century with the development of railroads opening up the area. This encouraged large-scale residential development, and Norwood was a thriving suburban village. At present, Norwood is subdivided into several districts such as Upper Norwood, West Norwood, and South Norwood, each possessing unique character.

It is known for its open areas such as Norwood Park and Crystal Palace Park, which provide the mix of nature, recreation grounds, and historical sites. It is also teeming with its cultural events with lots of shops, restaurants, and historic landmarks. It has been gentrified to an extent but still cosmopolitan and vibrant London neighborhood with the mix of old world charm and new facilities.
