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.

History of Berkshire
Berkshire, often referred to as the Royal County of Berkshire, is a historic and ceremonial county in South East England. The name Berkshire is thought to derive from the Old English “Bearrocscir,” meaning "hilly wood of a man named Bearroc." With roots dating back to the early Anglo-Saxon period, Berkshire played a key role in English history, especially during the medieval era. It is home to Windsor Castle — a residence of the British royal family — which gives Berkshire its royal status, granted by the Queen in 1957. Historically, the county was largely agricultural but saw growth in towns like Reading and Newbury over time.
In the modern era, Berkshire has become a hub of both heritage and innovation. With excellent transport links, top schools, and major business parks — including the Thames Valley tech corridor — Berkshire is a mix of historic market towns and modern urban centers. Today, Berkshire remains a prosperous and desirable county, offering a blend of countryside charm, royal heritage, and economic opportunity.
