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.

"The lettings advisor was amazing from start to finish! It is my first time buying a rental property and she went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible. She responded to my emails very promptly and kept me updated in the process. I would highly recommend dealing with her as she gets the job done! Can’t thank her enough"

"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."

"In Camden, it's just the atmosphere that gets me. It's simple. It's nice. It's real. And it's the people, too. I like to interact with them because they are normal and I am normal. People probably don't expect an Arsenal player to come to Camden Lock and, basically, be a normal guy. "

"I've no grand designs to conquer the music industry, but I'd love to be able to tell my mates that I'm playing in a pub in Camden one night."

"There's a high school in Camden, New Jersey, I call the Jill Scott School. It's the Camden Creative Arts High School. Those teachers and kids are so passionate about what they do, and 98 percent of the senior class went on to college."

"If you want to be anonymous, you can go to Soho or Camden, and it's not a problem. There are a lot of Spanish people. If you go to Piccadilly or Oxford Circus, you hear lots of Spanish voices, but I'm not recognised much."

History of Camden
Camden Town, situated at the heart of the borough, has a rich history that traces back to its founding in 1791 by Charles Pratt, the first Earl Camden. Initially a modest cluster of buildings along a main road, the area rapidly developed after the Regent’s Canal opened to traffic in 1820. The canal played a key role in Camden’s transformation into a thriving commercial centre, offering crucial transport links that supported trade and industry. As the population grew through the 19th century, employment opportunities expanded, helping to shape the urban landscape and establish Camden Town as a vital part of London.
By the mid-20th century, Camden Town underwent significant change, particularly during the 1960s when housing redevelopments reshaped many streets. The area's enduring appeal was solidified in the 1970s, when Camden Lock’s former industrial wharves and warehouses were repurposed into craft markets, laying the foundation for its status as a popular cultural and tourist hub. Just north of Camden, Chalk Farm evolved from rural farmland into a residential and commercial area after 1840, beginning with developments along Regent’s Park Road. Its historic tavern, once part of the original farmhouse, still stands today as a restaurant, linking past to present.
