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 Upton Park

Upton Gardens is situated in east London, in the borough of Newham. It is 8.6 miles from the centre of London. The area was first recorded in 1203 as Hupinton, then in 1290 as Hopton and in 1485 as Upton. The name originates from the Old English words "upp" and "tun", meaning higher farmstead. 
From the 17th century onwards, Upton was a wealthy hamlet. One of its oldest surviving buildings is the Old Spotted Dog. It was thought to once have been a hunting lodge for King Henry VIII, (r. 1509-1547). The building was converted into a pub in the 19th century. For the last decade, it has been abandoned. However, it is on England's Heritage at Risk register. Planning permission and listed building consent have been secured for the repair and re-use of the building as pub, restaurant and hotel. 
During the reign of Queen Victoria, (1837-1901), from the 1870s onwards, the pretty hamlet began to disappear, and was replaced with extensive terraced houses. Fields south-east of Upton were re-developed in the mid 1880s, and the new estate was called Upton Park.  
In 1877, Upton Park station was opened by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. In 1902, the District Line service began; and in 1936, the Metropolitan Line followed. This is the line we know today as the Hammersmith & City Line. Currently, Upton Park Underground station is on the District Line and Hammersmith & City Line.
