Block Management Redbridge

Redbridge'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 Redbridge

Redbridge, located in the northeastern part of London, boasts a rich history that spans centuries, with its roots tracing back to ancient times. The area derives its name from the "red bridge" that once spanned the River Roding, a crossing point dating back to the medieval period. Over the years, Redbridge evolved from a rural landscape dominated by farmland and small villages into a bustling urban district. During the 19th century, the arrival of the railway further accelerated its transformation, linking it to central London and spurring significant growth. This period saw the development of elegant Victorian homes and an expanding population, solidifying Redbridge's role as a sought-after suburban retreat for professionals and families.

Today, Redbridge retains much of its historical charm, with pockets of architecture from its Victorian and Edwardian past. The borough is home to several heritage sites, including the imposing Ilford Town Hall, an elegant example of early 20th-century civic design. The area also boasts the tranquil Valentines Park, once part of a grand country estate, now offering a peaceful haven amid urban life. Despite its modern development, Redbridge continues to honor its heritage with a keen respect for green spaces, community, and its historical landmarks, making it a culturally rich and diverse place to live and explore.
