Block Management Streatham

Streatham'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.

Pranika Batra 52 days ago

"The engineer came to repair an unknown leak in my flat. He found and repaired it in a very short time. Great man and very profession."

Alex C 56 days ago

"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."

Streatham - Nature Scene

History of Streatham

Streatham, located in the London Borough of Lambeth, has a rich history that dates back centuries. Its name is believed to come from the Old English word “streah,” meaning “street” or “street settlement,” and “ham,” meaning a homestead. The area was once part of the large manor of Brixton and remained largely rural until the 19th century. Early records mention Streatham as a small village on the edge of London, known for its farming and agricultural activities.During the 18th and 19th centuries, Streatham began to develop into a fashionable area, thanks to its proximity to London and the construction of the London-to-Brighton road (now known as the A23). The village attracted wealthy residents who built grand Georgian and Victorian houses, and by the mid-1800s, Streatham was becoming known as a desirable location for London’s elite. The arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century, with the opening of Streatham station in 1856, further accelerated its development as it became more accessible to those working in central London.

Over the years, it also gained a reputation for being a popular entertainment spot, with the opening of Streatham Ice Rink in 1931 and various theatres and cinemas.In the 21st century, Streatham has seen significant gentrification, with an influx of young professionals and families. Its mix of historical and modern buildings, green spaces, and cultural offerings has made it a thriving community today.Streatham is a diverse and vibrant part of London, known for its rich cultural scene, green spaces, and mix of housing. The area has seen a resurgence in recent years, with significant development in the local infrastructure and improvements in public transport, making it an increasingly attractive location for young professionals and families. Despite this modern development, Streatham has managed to preserve much of its historic charm, blending its rich heritage with the dynamic and evolving character of a modern London neighbourhood.
