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 Borough
Borough, located in the Southwark London Borough, has a rich and diverse history that stretches back to the Roman era. In Roman times, Borough was part of Londinium, the capital of Roman Britain, and its strategic location on the Thames made it a critical trading and transportation hub. The area was served by the only bridge crossing the river at London Bridge, cementing its importance. During the medieval period, Borough grew around the Southwark Cathedral, a priory founded in the 12th century, and was also home to the famous Tabard Inn, where Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales begins. The 16th century saw the rise of theatres like the Globe Theatre, which flourished in Borough as part of the entertainment hub outside the restrictive bounds of the city of London.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries, Borough underwent significant transformation. The establishment of Borough Market in 1756 solidified the area’s role as a key center for food trading. This market, once a wholesale hub, is now one of London’s most famous food markets. Despite suffering damage during World War II bombings, the area was rebuilt and modernized in the 20th century, leading to the gentrification of Borough in recent years. Today, Borough boasts a vibrant cultural scene, with landmarks like Southwark Cathedral, the historic George Inn, and the modern Shard skyscraper marking its dynamic evolution from Roman settlement to a thriving urban district.
