Block Management Ware

Ware '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.

"Our relationship manager has been excellent. She is competent, clearly knows her job and equally importantly is responsive to emails and keeps people in the picture."

Sandy Buchanan 75 days ago

"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 Ware

Ware, Hertfordshire, located just 21 miles north of central London, boasts a rich history dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as "Waras," a name derived from the natural weirs in the River Lea. The river has long played a vital role in Ware’s development, supporting industries such as malt-making, which flourished in the 19th century. Ware also gained significance as a key coaching town, a heritage symbolised in its coat of arms featuring barge rudders, coaching horns, and sheaves of barley. Historic industries like D. Wickham & Co’s railcar manufacturing and the pharmaceutical plant now part of GlaxoSmithKline have shaped Ware’s industrial legacy.

Today, Ware blends historical charm with modern living, attracting homeowners who value both character and convenience. The town’s picturesque High Street, lined with traditional shops and pubs, alongside landmarks like the 14th-century Ware Priory, reflects its rich heritage. Ware’s excellent transport links to London and surrounding areas make it popular among commuters, while ongoing local development enhances its appeal. This balance of history, community, and accessibility positions Ware as a sought-after location in Hertfordshire’s property market.
