Block Management Sussex

Sussex'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 am very happy to meet the lettings advisor. She is kind and answered my questions in detail. She also took the initiative to introduce the facilities and environment of The Mailbox. Her careful follow-up helped me successfully rent this beautiful place."

Lesley Ho 56 days ago

"The estate manager and maintenance team came to my flat today regarding a blocked sink. We tried to figure out if it was the waste stack (outside of the flat) or inside. Eventually, they deduced it was inside, which is my responsibility of course. However, they both were keen to try a few options and after several different attempts, they cleared the block in the sink. Very prompt, friendly and quick to respond. Thanks to both for their help!"

Susie R 24 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."

History of Sussex

Sussex, a picturesque region on the south coast of England, has long been a popular destination for those seeking a balance between countryside living and easy access to London. Known for its charming coastal towns, historic villages, and scenic countryside, Sussex offers a wide range of properties, from quaint cottages and rural estates to modern seaside apartments. With excellent rail links to London and an abundance of natural beauty, the area has become increasingly desirable for families, retirees, and professionals seeking more space and a slower pace of life. The region’s combination of affordability (compared to London) and high quality of life has made Sussex an attractive option for buyers and investors.

In recent years, Sussex's real estate market has seen significant growth, particularly in towns like Brighton, Chichester, and Lewes. Regeneration projects, improved infrastructure, and the growing trend of remote working have further bolstered the area's appeal. Brighton, with its vibrant cultural scene and coastal lifestyle, continues to attract a diverse range of buyers, while the historic towns in West Sussex offer a more tranquil living environment. As Sussex remains a desirable place to live, its real estate market is expected to continue expanding, offering strong investment opportunities for developers and homebuyers seeking the charm of the countryside with the convenience of coastal living and London proximity.
