Block Management Palmers Green

Palmers Green'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.


Block Management Reviews

"Having been at the flat for less than a week, we are thoroughly impressed with Anaconda Cut, from our flat to the facilities and location. The team demonstrated exceptional assistance, attentiveness, and thoroughness throughout the entire process. We are extremely pleased."

"Moving was as easy as it could be. We arrived late, but the lettings advisor was still on hand to hand them over. She also organised a second (same day) clean because we weren't satisfied with the clean that had already been done. This was a great help especially with us having a two year old."

Emal 145 days ago

"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 Palmers Green

Palmers Green, originally part of the Parish of Southgate, was primarily farmland before undergoing significant development in the 19th century. Its transformation began in the early 1800s with the construction of houses, further accelerated by the arrival of the railway station in 1849, which enhanced accessibility and attracted new residents. The area’s name is thought to originate from a field called "Palmers," although its exact origins remain uncertain. During the Victorian era, Palmers Green experienced substantial suburban growth, becoming part of Greater London's expansion, with the railway playing a pivotal role in its evolution into a desirable residential area. The First World War brought significant local impact, marked by volunteer efforts and commemorative memorials.

The early 20th century saw the rise of suburban living, with the development of large houses and detached properties. Broomfield Park, a community hub since 1906, reflects the area's commitment to green spaces. Post-World War II, Palmers Green continued its development with improved amenities and housing. In recent decades, it has become culturally diverse, home to vibrant Greek and Turkish communities that have enriched its culture, cuisine, and social life.
