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 Reviews
"We have lived at Prospect Place for over 15 years now and for the first time in all these years we can truly say the help, advice and knowledge that we have received from the head of the region, he has been outstanding. For the last several years we have endured the horrendous cladding situation which has caused so much stress and upset beyond words can convey, however, he has been by far our go-to person for any help that we have needed. His dedication to the job goes beyond the norm and for that we would like to thank you. Whilst we are aware that you are moving onto pastures new, we truly wish you all the best on your new adventure. We will truly miss you and all the help that you have given. Thank you again Richard"

"We have recently had 3 weeks when there was no uplifting of recycling or food-waste from properties at Goddard Place. I contacted Islington Recycling Services several times and finally they told me that they had lost access to the property (the other Islington disposal services managed very well during that period!). I told them to contact our Relationship Manager, but wasn't sure how long it would take them to contact her and get another fob. As soon as our Relationship Manager knew about the situation, she immediately took the initiative and hand-delivered a fob to them! Much appreciated action from her"

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 Ashtead
Ashtead, a village in Surrey, England, located approximately 16 miles southwest of Central London, has a rich history dating back to prehistoric times. Evidence shows that the area has been inhabited since the Mesolithic period around 10,000 BC. During the Roman occupation, Ashtead appeared on major Roman maps, and archaeological findings suggest Roman settlements and agricultural activities in the area. In medieval times, it developed as a manor owned by the Church of Canterbury, remaining a rural area focused on agriculture. Ashtead Park, now a public park, was part of the manorial estate and was renowned for its natural beauty in the Tudor period. By the 17th and 18th centuries, Ashtead had grown into a small agricultural village with a church, cottages, and farms at its core.
The 20th century saw significant suburbanization in Ashtead due to London's expansion and improvements in transport links. Many older estates were sold for residential development, contributing to the area's rapid population growth. Despite this, Ashtead has managed to retain its village atmosphere while offering excellent amenities, such as shops, schools, and green spaces like Ashtead Park and nearby Epsom Common. The preservation of its heritage buildings and landscapes continues, making Ashtead a sought-after area for families and commuters seeking the balance between suburban living and easy access to London.
