Block Management Putney

Putney'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

"We have lived at Prospect Place for over 15 years now and for the first time in all these years we can truly say the help, advice and knowledge that we have received from the head of the region, he has been outstanding. For the last several years we have endured the horrendous cladding situation which has caused so much stress and upset beyond words can convey, however, he has been by far our go-to person for any help that we have needed. His dedication to the job goes beyond the norm and for that we would like to thank you. Whilst we are aware that you are moving onto pastures new, we truly wish you all the best on your new adventure. We will truly miss you and all the help that you have given. Thank you again Richard"

"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 Putney

Putney has a long and fascinating history, stretching back to the Roman era when it was a small settlement. In the medieval period, it grew as a market town and a popular location for the wealthy who wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of London. Putney's historical significance deepened during the English Civil War when the Putney Debates were held in 1647. These debates, which centered on issues of governance and rights, were a pivotal moment in British political history and showcased the area’s role in shaping the country’s political landscape.

In the 19th century, Putney underwent rapid urbanization, especially with the development of the railway line that connected it to central London. This made the area more accessible and cemented its reputation as a desirable residential neighborhood. The development of the River Thames also contributed to Putney’s fame, especially with its prominent role in rowing. Today, Putney combines its historical roots with modern amenities, making it a sought-after location for living and visiting.Early History: Putney's name is derived from the Old English "Putenhie," meaning "landing place where hawks are seen." It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a small settlement.
