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."

A Brief History of Bickley Town
Bickley’s history dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it was recorded as a small rural settlement. The name "Bickley" is believed to derive from the Old English words "bic," meaning "bee," and "leah," meaning "wood" or "clearing," suggesting the area was once a wooded clearing known for beekeeping. Originally part of the larger parish of Bromley, Bickley remained mostly farmland and open land until the 19th century when it began to develop as part of London’s suburban expansion.
The arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century was a key factor in Bickley’s growth, as it made the area more accessible to commuters working in central London. By the late 1800s, Bickley had transformed into a desirable residential area, attracting affluent families who sought a peaceful, rural setting with convenient transport links to the city. The area continued to develop throughout the 20th century, with more housing and local amenities being built to accommodate the growing population. Today, Bickley is a primarily residential neighborhood in the London Borough of Bromley, known for its leafy streets, large homes, and proximity to green spaces like the nearby Bickley Park and National Trust's Chislehurst Commons, making it a sought-after location for families and commuters.
