Block Management Petts Wood

Petts Wood '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

"My communication with the property manager was very helpful indeed. He is very clear and competent and a notable exception to the rest of my many contacts with Ringley. I found the Ringley website to be a disaster, extremely complex and impossible to use. Information given on line is obscure and I found it incomprehensible and only after eight telephone calls to different people at Ringley was I able to get the information I needed at last when I was finally able to speak to the property manager. "

"The advisor has been amazing throughout my tenure at Anaconda. The events she organises are excellent and communications when there are issues (if any by the way) within the flat are top notch and I highly recommend anyone who moves in to anaconda to communicate with her"

Josh Ozdemir 192 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 Petts Wood

Petts Wood is a suburban area in the London Borough of Bromley, south-east London. Petts Wood gets its name from the Pett family, a dynasty of shipbuilders in the 16th and 17th centuries who sourced timber from the local woods for building ships for the Royal Navy. The “wood” in Petts Wood originally referred to ancient woodland that was part of the Great North Wood.  Before the 20th century, Petts Wood was strictly farm and woodland with a very small population. Between the 1920s and 30s, Petts Wood (as we know it today) began major development in the late 1920s. It was designed as a commuter suburb for middle-class professionals working in London. The opening of Petts Wood railway station in 1928 was pivotal alongside the building of many houses. 

Petts Wood was hit by German bombs during WWII, including V-1 flying bombs, but much of the area escaped widespread destruction. After the war, development continued modestly, and the suburb retained its village character. Petts Wood remains a desirable, green suburb with a strong community feel, good schools, and a charming high street. It balances its commuter town roots with a semi-rural atmosphere, preserving much of the original woodland and 1920s–30s character.
