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.

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.

History of Queensbury

Queensbury, a suburban area in northwest London, has seen steady growth and development over the years, making it an attractive prospect for real estate investment and block management. Historically, Queensbury was a quiet residential area, but in recent decades, its proximity to both central London and key transport links has spurred demand for housing. The rise of new residential developments, particularly affordable housing, has positioned Queensbury as an emerging hotspot for homebuyers and investors. As the area continues to evolve, its blend of suburban charm and urban accessibility has caught the eye of real estate professionals looking to tap into its potential.

In recent years, Queensbury has become a focal point for block management and property development. Its increasing appeal is driven by the area's steady infrastructure improvements, including better transport connections and new amenities. The development of modern housing complexes and retail spaces has attracted a diverse range of residents, from young professionals to families. With relatively affordable prices compared to central London, Queensbury offers excellent opportunities for both long-term investment and rental yields. As the area continues to grow, it remains a prime location for block managers and developers aiming to take advantage of the area's upward trajectory in the competitive London property market.
