Block Management Queensbury

Queensbury'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.

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 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 Queensbury

Queensbury, located in the London Borough of Brent, has a fascinating history that dates back to the early 19th century. Originally part of the rural area of Kenton, it began to change with the arrival of the Metropolitan Railway in 1880. The construction of the railway line connected Queensbury to central London, triggering the area's transition from farmland to a thriving suburban neighborhood. The district gets its name from Queensbury House, a grand estate built in the 18th century. As the railway station opened, it became a key point for both residential and commercial development.

By the early 20th century, Queensbury had become a well-established suburb of London, with increased housing and local amenities. The interwar years saw the expansion of homes and businesses, and Queensbury continued to grow as more people sought to live outside central London while maintaining easy access to the city. Post-World War II, the area saw further residential development, particularly with the rise of council housing. Today, Queensbury is a vibrant, multicultural neighborhood that retains elements of its historical charm while serving as a dynamic community within the Greater London area.
