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 Wokingham

History of Wokingham

Wokingham’s history dates back to the Saxon period, with the name "Wokingham" derived from the Old English "Wocingas," referring to the people of Wocca, a Saxon chief. It is believed to have been an important settlement in the early medieval period and later became part of the royal estates. The town was granted a market charter in the 13th century, marking the beginning of its development as a commercial center. Over time, Wokingham evolved from a small rural village to a bustling market town, with industries such as brewing and brick-making becoming prominent in the area.During the medieval period, Wokingham became an important market town. It was granted a market charter by Henry III in 1219, allowing it to hold regular markets, which helped establish it as a center of trade in the region. Over the centuries, the town developed around its market square, with the central area still retaining much of its historic charm today. In the 16th and 17th centuries, Wokingham’s economy expanded as it became a hub for the timber trade and other local industries.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Wokingham’s growth was driven by the expansion of the railway network and its proximity to London. The town attracted wealthy Londoners seeking a peaceful, rural retreat, leading to the development of new residential areas. Today, Wokingham is a vibrant town in Berkshire, known for its historic market square, charming streets, and green spaces. It continues to maintain its rural character while offering modern amenities, making it a popular place to live for families and commuters seeking a balance between countryside living and access to London.
