Block Management Upney

Upney '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.

"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 Upney

Upney is situated in east London, in the borough of Barking and Dagenham. It is 11.7 miles from the centre of London. In 1539, the name Upney was recorded, in its early form, and meant "higher island". The area was originally a hamlet in the Essex marshes.
There are signs of Roman and earlier activity in the area. Stone Age axes were recovered from Barking Creek and Ripple Road. A rare Bronze age/early Iron Age, carved wooden figure was found near the Thames, south of Ripple Road. Pre-Roman pottery and a coin were found on the Abbey site, near the marsh. In 1932, at Ripple Road, a stone coffin was excavated. It held parts of several skeletons and pottery, which are from around the 3rd century.
During the reign of Elizabeth I, (r. 1558-1603), in the 1570s, Eastbury Manor House, off Ripple Road, was built for an Essex merchant. In the early 17th century, the house attracted wealthy Catholic families who could practice their religion in safety. A local tradition suggests - however, this has also been discredited by many historians - that the Manor House was used by the participants of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, to assassinate King James I, (r. 1603-1625). This rebellion failed. The Manor House has been relatively little altered since its original times. This pleasant, tranquil Grade I listed mansion and gardens, is now a National Trust property.
During the reign of Queen Victoria, (r. 1837-1901), in 1883, a publication from Walford describes "mostly dreary marsh, crossed and intersected with straight dykes and sluggish pools, but further in land are broad stretches of pasture land, serving as an admirable grazing ground for cattle".
By the end of the 19th century, industrialisation, communications and settlement increased in the area. During the 1920s and 1930s, most of Upney's housing was built, as part of the council's slum clearance programme. In 1932, Upney station opened, originally by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, on electrified tracks that were extended to Upminster from Barking. The station we know today, is on the District Line of the Underground.
