Block Management Sevenoaks

Sevenoaks'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

"I’m soon to move in to my 1 bedroom apartment and just wanted to give a shoutout to the team. From a walk-in viewing to securing my 1 bed, she’s been nothing short of amazing. She’s gone above and beyond to help me through every step of the process and has been on hand to help day or night. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and every step of the journey has been smooth and easy. Thanks again"

"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 Sevenoaks

Sevenoaks has a rich historical heritage that dates back over 1,000 years. The town's name originates from "Seouenaca," meaning "seven oak trees," first recorded in the 9th century. Over time, Sevenoaks developed into a thriving market town, playing a key role in Kent’s agricultural and commercial history. One of the town’s most iconic landmarks is Knole House, a 15th-century National Trust property built by Archbishop Thomas Bourchier and later owned by the Sackville family. The sprawling 1,000-acre parkland, home to wild deer, has remained a symbol of English heritage for centuries.

 

Another historical highlight is The Vine Cricket Ground, which dates back to the 1730s and is one of England’s oldest cricket venues. The town also played a role in World War II, with nearby Eden Valley Museum showcasing the region’s wartime contributions. Beyond its architectural and sporting history, Sevenoaks is surrounded by natural beauty, with North Downs Way providing historic walking routes through the Kent countryside. Today, Sevenoaks balances heritage and modern living, making it a charming destination for visitors.
