Block Management Wood Green

Wood Green'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.

"Move in was so much easier than what I expected. The lettings negotiator throughout was great and went above and beyond the service I expected. Bob was an absolute delight to meet after the long move I had, he was such great help with the move. No problems so far and with the immediate responses I doubt there will be any in future. I would recommend them! Smooth process and move in."

"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 Wood Green

Wood Green is a vibrant and diverse area located in the London Borough of Haringey, in North London. Here’s an overview of the history of Wood Green:

Wood Green, located in the London Borough of Haringey, has a fascinating history that spans centuries, blending both rural beginnings and rapid urban development.The area was originally a rural space, with its name likely derived from the "wood" surrounding the area and "green" referring to the village green, a common feature in many early settlements. In medieval times, Wood Green was part of the wider lands owned by the Bishop of London, and the area remained relatively undeveloped for centuries, with a focus on agriculture and farming.The real transformation of Wood Green began in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway. The establishment of the Great Eastern Railway station in 1850 marked a pivotal moment in the area's history, enabling Wood Green to transition from a rural village into a more urbanized suburb. As the railway connected the area to central London, it spurred rapid growth, attracting middle-class families looking for more space outside the crowded city. This led to the development of housing, shops, and infrastructure, making Wood Green a popular place for people commuting to London.

Throughout the 20th century, Wood Green continued to evolve. It became a bustling commercial area with a mix of residential homes, retail spaces, and local markets. During the 1960s and 1970s, the area saw further expansion with the construction of larger shopping centers, including the The Mall Wood Green, which remains a central retail hub in the area today. The area also became more diverse, with communities from various backgrounds settling in Wood Green, adding to its cultural vibrancy.Today, Wood Green is a thriving district that retains its rich history while embracing modern development. The area's mix of old and new architecture, as well as its strong sense of community, makes it a unique part of North London. With excellent transport links to central London, green spaces, and a blend of historical and contemporary attractions, Wood Green continues to be a popular and dynamic place to live and work.
