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.

"Knowledgeable and helpful new village manager at GMV. Sorted a 6 week water leak problem, water companies had dealt with unsuccessfully, within 24 hours."

Hans 95 days ago

" I just sent a maintenance request, the attendant was very responsive and come to my flat. Problem fixed immediately. During his visit, I mentioned about a water leakage problem. He left and come very shortly with required tools. Again, problem fixed. All within an hour. Thank you!"

Ken Tang 178 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 Plumstead

 

Plumstead, located in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in South East London, has a history that dates back to the medieval period. The name "Plumstead" is derived from the Old English "plumstede," meaning "plum tree place" or "plum farm." It was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was a small rural settlement under the manor of Eltham. For centuries, Plumstead remained a quiet village focused on agriculture.The 19th century brought significant change to Plumstead with the arrival of the railway in 1849. The opening of Plumstead station connected the area to central London, which accelerated urban growth. As the population increased, housing developments sprang up to accommodate workers, and the area transformed from a rural village to a working-class suburb.

A key development in Plumstead’s history was the establishment of the Royal Arsenal in the early 19th century. The Royal Arsenal became one of the largest military manufacturing sites in the world, producing weapons and ammunition. The factory played an essential role in British military efforts during both World Wars, and its presence shaped the local economy and community for over a century.Today, Plumstead has seen significant regeneration, with much of the former Royal Arsenal site being redeveloped into new housing, cultural spaces, and retail outlets. The area combines a mix of Victorian and modern architecture, retaining its historical charm while evolving into a more diverse and vibrant community within the Royal Borough of Greenwich.
