Block Management Walton-on-Thames

Walton-on-Thames'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.

History of Walton-on-Thames

Walton-on-Thames is a charming town located in Surrey, just 15 miles southwest of central London. Its history dates back to the early medieval period, and the area’s name is believed to be derived from the Old English words "waelt," meaning "a settlement," and "tun," meaning "farmstead" or "enclosure." The town’s location along the River Thames has played a key role in its development, particularly as a trading and transport hub throughout history. Walton was originally a small village, but by the 18th century, it began to grow due to its proximity to the river and its accessibility to London.In the 19th century, Walton-on-Thames underwent significant development. The arrival of the London and South Western Railway in 1848 helped to transform the town into a popular commuter destination for those working in London. With the establishment of rail links, Walton became more accessible, and many affluent individuals began to move to the town, which led to the construction of larger houses and an expansion of the local infrastructure. The town's riverside setting also made it an attractive location for leisure and recreation, with boating and fishing becoming popular activities along the Thames.
