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
"The lettings agent was dealing with my whole process of moving in, and she was great. I was moving up from London and she was helpful and flexible when I ran into a couple issues. Thanks a lot!!"
| Hamzah TV 10 days ago |
"Move in was so much easier than what I expected. The lettings negotiator throughout was great and went above and beyond the service I expected. Bob was an absolute delight to meet after the long move I had, he was such great help with the move. No problems so far and with the immediate responses I doubt there will be any in future. I would recommend them! Smooth process and move in."

"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."

History of Caledonian Road
Caledonian Road is situated to the north of London, in the borough of Islington. It is 3.9 miles from central London. In 1826, during the reign of King George IV, (r. 1820-1830), a road was built from King's Cross to the Holloway Road. It was originally named Chalk Road, and ran through the Copenhagen Fields, for most of its length. In 1861, during the reign of Queen Victoria, (r. 1837-1901), it was renamed Caledonian Road. The name was derived from the Royal Caledonian Asylum, founded in 1815. This had moved to Copenhagen Fields in 1827. The asylum looked after children of soldiers, sailors and mariners, natives of Scotland, who had died or been disabled in the service to their country. It also cared for impoverished children of Scottish parents who lived in London, and were not entitled to limited relief. The building has since gone. However, its purpose now functions as a charitable trust.
In the 1850s, terraced houses were built in the area, for middle classes. These buildings soon declined, often with more than one family occupying each property. In 1842, the Pentonville Prison was built; and In 1892, Islington's first public baths were built.
During the reign of King Edward VII, (r. 1901-1910), Caledonian Road station was opened in 1906, by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway. The Caledonian Road Underground station we know today, is on the Piccadilly Line.
After World War II, (1939-1945), further developments took place, for example, the construction of council flats. In the 1980s, more houses were built, mainly at the northern end of Caledonian Road. Currently, the area has a massive waste recycling centre; and there are many community organisations, including gay rights, counselling, pacifism, Tibetan Buddhism, and support for prisoners' families. There are many home improvement shops, for example, ironwork, glass, paint and second-hand furniture.
Caledonian Road is relatively affordable; and "the Cally" as it is locally known, remains a comparative rarity in today's London: primarily a close-knit, working class community. More than 70% of the Caledonian ward's residents live in rented accommodation, mostly council flats.
