Block Management Sutton

Sutton'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.

"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 Sutton

Sutton, located in the southern part of Greater London, has a long and fascinating history. Its name is derived from the Old English words "sūþ," meaning south, and "tūn," meaning settlement or farm, indicating a settlement located to the south. The area was originally part of the ancient Hundred of Wallington in Surrey and was predominantly rural until the 19th century. Sutton grew rapidly during this period, particularly after the arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century, which connected it to central London and made it more accessible to commuters.The development of Sutton as a suburban town accelerated during the Victorian era. Wealthier individuals from London began to move out to Sutton, attracted by its rural charm and open spaces. This led to the construction of large, attractive homes and the establishment of various businesses, and Sutton gradually transitioned into a thriving town. By the early 20th century, Sutton had evolved into a residential area with a bustling high street, local schools, and more developed infrastructure.

The town continued to grow throughout the 20th century, with several new developments, including the building of the prominent St. Nicholas Church and the expansion of shopping and leisure facilities. Sutton became part of Greater London in 1965, solidifying its place within the capital. Over time, Sutton has maintained its suburban appeal, balancing green spaces with modern amenities, and has become one of the more desirable places to live in South London, known for its excellent schools, transport links, and local parks.Today, Sutton retains much of its historical charm while embracing the benefits of modern living. The town offers a combination of traditional architecture, such as the beautiful St. Nicholas Church, and more contemporary developments. Sutton is a bustling, family-friendly area that provides a suburban lifestyle with excellent access to central London, making it an attractive option for those looking for a quieter, more relaxed setting while still being close to the heart of the city.
