Block Management Upton Park

Upton Park '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."

Cultural Scene of Uptown Park

Upton Park provides a rich, dynamic cultural experience drawn from both its historic heritage and its cosmopolitan, multi-cultural community. West Ham United Football Club is at the centre of it all, a beloved institution that for decades has determined the locality's character. While the club plays at the London Stadium, Boleyn Ground legacy remains a powerful cultural touchstone. Match days continue to unite fans, creating a vibrant and passionate environment that echoes throughout the neighborhood. A little further down the street, the Stratford East Theatre occupies equally vital space in the neighborhood's cultural fabric. With its hodgepodge of drama, comedy, and live music, the theatre is a bastion of the story of East London's communities, a must for artistic experimentation and cultural discourse.

These are complemented by the everyday cultural life that Upton Park is famous for. Green Street Market is a bustling hub where international cuisine, vibrant clothing, and fresh fruits and vegetables reflect Upton Park's cosmopolitan composition. Public art and mural paintings further record the area's multicultural composition, which often addresses issues of migration, heritage, and sense of place. Across the year, community events from cultural festivals and food festivals to theater productions give a sense of belonging and celebration, bringing people together from all walks of life. Even public spaces like the East Ham Nature Reserve are part of the cultural fabric, offering peaceful oases where locals engage with nature by birdwatching, guided walks, and educational visits. Together, all these elements create Upton Park as a richly textured cultural tapestry that is both uniquely engaging and welcoming to live and explore.
