Block Management Preston Road

Preston Road'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

"The housekeeper that looks after our block of flats at James Smith Court in Dartford is a credit to the company. He is always such a nice, polite and friendly man, always saying good morning to me and my son. He keeps the communal areas of our building very nice and clean and we never have any messes to worry about. Thanks to him for all his hard work!"

"After a historic leak issue reappeared (ongoing for over a year), our Estate Manager acted promptly to trace the cause and kept me up to date on its progress. When the property in question became unresponsive, he took over comms to ensure I didn’t have to get involved any further. Thank you"

Hannah 183 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 Preston Road

Preston Road, one of North Texas' main roads, is a highway with a long history and development over the years. Passing through several communities, it has been one of the key drivers of suburban development in Dallas and the suburbs. Preston Road started as a farming road in the countryside during the 19th century. In the late 1800s, the road was formally surveyed and established as a primary transportation artery between Dallas and the north suburbs. As the area grew, Preston Road evolved into a primary thoroughfare, not just as a commercial and residential strip, but also as a required route for commuters going between Dallas and such cities as Plano, Frisco, and McKinney. The development of Preston Road tracked the rapid suburbanization of the area, as residential developments, shopping malls, and other commercial enterprises were constructed along the road. Preston Road has been at the center of historic area development throughout the years, mirroring overall trends in North Texas.

Today, Preston Road is considered one of the most prominent streets in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, thanks to its diverse collection of residential, commercial, and recreational zones. The road passes through a variety of neighborhoods, from historical districts in Dallas to suburban communities such as Highland Park and Plano. In the last few years, the road has seen a rapid transformation with high-end shopping centers, gourmet restaurants, and office buildings along its length. Additionally, the proximity of the road to major highways and landmarks has also made it a middle corridor for regional and local traffic. Interestingly, the part of Preston Road that passes through the city of Dallas has experienced an increase in urban development, with luxury condominiums and townhouses being built to replace some of the older buildings. Despite this urbanization, Preston Road retains a little of its former character, with remnants of older architecture and landmarks, such as the Preston Road Chapel, adding to its uniqueness. The highway's ongoing expansion continues to make it influence the growth and evolution of North Texas, making it a part of the region's history and future.
