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 had a couple of issues in my flat in prospect place and both times the estate manager was really helpful, the cleaning team members who came on both occasions were really friendly and helpful, today it was housekeeping but I can't recall the names from last time unfortunately. Also our site cleaning is great generally, especially compared to other similar places I visit locally, so the cleaning team's efforts are really appreciated, they make a huge contribution to my enjoyment of living here"

"From when this company took over it was nothing but a nightmare for two years but then a amazing member of staff was appointed as our Relationship Manager, she took over last year did more in a few months than what any other member of staff did an the way she dealt with me an my disability was just amazing if it wasn't for her this review would not be a good one but honestly if this company continues to keep people like her then they will get somewhere with helping people because she is a person who cares about the people she's working with and not just her job."

"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 Upminster

Upminster is situated in Essex, 17 miles east of Charing Cross. It was first recorded in 1062 as Upmynstre. It was named Upmunstra, in the 1086 Domesday Book in the era of King William I "The Conqueror", (r.1066-1087). It is derived from the Old English word upp and mynster, meaning "the large church on high ground". 
The area around Upminster was originally wooded until the 12th century, when land was used for arable farming. Agriculture was predominant in the area; and by the 17th century there was a good selection of crops and livestock. Market gardening flourished in the 19th century. Many windmills were built in Upminster at this time. A smock mill built in 1803, still remains. Local industries consisted of a tannery, gravel extraction, and a brick works that was connected to the railway station by a tramway, in 1895.
