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.

"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 Aldersbrook
A Brief History
Aldersbrook, located in East London, derives its name from the medieval Manor of Aldersbrook, which was established around 1512. The manor's name is believed to have been inspired by the nearby Alders Brook, a minor river that marks part of the boundary between the London Boroughs of Newham and Redbridge.
In the 14th century, the land that Aldersbrook is now built on was part of the grounds of Naget Hall (later written as Naked Hall), part of the manor of Wanstead. In around 1512, the area was made into a separate manor, and called Aldersbrook, which derived its name from the nearby Alders Brook.
The area remained largely rural until the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it underwent significant development. The Aldersbrook Estate, an Edwardian housing development, was established during this period, transforming the area into a residential neighborhood. The estate is surrounded on all sides by open space and parkland, including Wanstead Park, Wanstead Flats, Bush Wood, and the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium.
