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 Southend

 

Southend, Essex, is 36 miles to the east of London. The first known settlement was called Prittlewell, originally a 6th or 7th century Saxon village, close to St. Mary's Church. The church survives to this day, and is the only church in the area mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086; during the era of Edward I, "The Conqueror", (r.1066-1087).
The town first consisted of poor fishermen's huts and farms, at the southern end of the village of Prittlewell. However, in the 1790s, the first buildings were established, to become the High Street of Southend-On-Sea. 
From the 19th century onwards, Southend-on-Sea became a popular seaside resort, and Southend Pier was constructed. Since the 19th century railway developments, the town has maintained its status as a good place to commute to London.  
6.4 million tourists still visit Southend-On-Sea every year, and this generates estimated revenues of £200 million a year. 
In March 2022, Southend Borough Council was presented letters patent from Queen Elizabeth II, by Charles, then Prince of Wales, officially granting the borough city status. Southend-On-Sea became the second city in the ceremonial county of Essex, after Chelmsford, which was granted city status in 2012.

Southend - Cultural Scene

Priory Park, Victoria Avenue, Southend-On-Sea, Essex, SS2, is a pleasant outdoor green space. There is a walled garden, with flower beds and a pond. The park has tennis courts. Prittlewell Priory is a museum within Priory Park. This shows the history, from its founding in the 12th century, by monks from the Cluniac Priory of St. Pancras in Lewes, East Sussex.
