Block Management Wandsworth

Wandsworth'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.


Block Management Reviews

"Five stars"

Lavanya 55 days ago

"The housekeeper that looks after our block of flats at James Smith Court in Dartford is a credit to the company. He is always such a nice, polite and friendly man, always saying good morning to me and my son. He keeps the communal areas of our building very nice and clean and we never have any messes to worry about. Thanks to him for all his hard work!"

"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 Wandsworth

Wandsworth, located in the southwest of London, has a rich history that spans many centuries. The area was originally settled during Roman times, and evidence of Roman occupation, such as pottery and coins, has been found in the area. The name "Wandsworth" is believed to be derived from the Old English words “Wand” (a personal name) and “worth” (meaning a settlement or enclosure), reflecting its early origins as a small settlement by the River Thames.During the medieval period, Wandsworth remained a rural area, but its proximity to London and its location along the River Thames made it strategically important. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the area began to develop into a more residential district, particularly with the construction of Wandsworth Bridge in the 18th century, which improved transportation across the Thames and encouraged growth. The industrial revolution brought significant changes to Wandsworth, with factories, warehouses, and docks springing up along the river, making it a key part of London’s manufacturing and trade industries. The area was known for its brick-making industry, which helped to supply materials for the rapid urbanization of London.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Wandsworth transformed from an industrial hub into a more residential area, with large houses and suburban developments. The opening of the London Underground in the early 20th century further accelerated its growth as a commuter town for those working in central London. Wandsworth became part of the expanding London metropolis, and its riverside location continued to make it a desirable area for living and business.Today, Wandsworth is a vibrant and diverse area, with a mix of residential, commercial, and leisure spaces. Its riverside location has been revitalized, with new developments along the Thames and the opening of new parks, bars, and restaurants. Wandsworth remains a popular place to live due to its excellent transport links to central London and its variety of amenities, while still retaining much of its historic charm and character.
