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.

"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, located in the northern part of Wembley in the London Borough of Brent, is an area that has seen significant transformation in recent years, offering a blend of suburban comfort and easy access to central London. Historically a quiet residential area, Preston Road has increasingly become an attractive location for real estate development due to its proximity to major transport links, including the Jubilee Line and the nearby North Circular Road. As the area continues to grow, new residential developments, including modern apartment complexes and refurbished homes, are contributing to a rising demand for properties. This growth has also driven the need for efficient block management services to ensure the upkeep and smooth operation of the increasing number of housing developments.

In recent years, Preston Road has experienced a steady rise in property development, with a mix of affordable housing, luxury apartments, and family homes coming to market. The area’s strong transport links to central London, along with the regeneration of nearby areas like Wembley Park, have made it an increasingly desirable location for homebuyers and renters. As more people move into the area, effective block management is essential to maintaining the quality of living for residents and supporting the sustainable growth of the community. With its combination of affordable living, excellent transport options, and ongoing development, Preston Road is rapidly becoming a highly sought-after area, with property management services playing an integral role in its continued success.
