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 from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.
As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.
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' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. 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'.
We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.
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 Burnt Oak
Burnt Oak is situated in north-west London, in the borough of Barnet. It is 9 miles from the centre of London. In 1754, the name Burnt Oak referred to a field on the eastern side of Edgware Road, with the original name Watling Street. In this field, an ancient oak tree at some stage before the 1750s, had been burned by a lightning strike. At this time, the area was the Ancient Parish of Hendon.
A common field called Sheveshill was originally at the site of the present Underground station. However, in the 1830s, a workhouse replaced the field. In 1859, a union school was built, and houses were built, to serve the workhouse. The workhouse infirmary has since drastically changed, to become Edgware community hospital. To the south, nearby, a farmhouse was built. In 1922, it still had a cow-keeper.
Until 1924, the area was predominantly rural. In this year, during the reign of George V, (r.1910-1936), the original Burnt Oak station was opened. This was two months after the opening of the extension of the Hampstead & Highgate Line, from Hendon Central to Edgware. This is the Northern Line we know today.
The development of the railway station led to much building growth, and a significant increase in people living in the area. In 1921, Burnt Oak's population was 1,016; and in 1931, it had risen to 21,545. However, in 2022, the population was 17,897.
