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 Canary Wharf
Canary Wharf, located in East London, has a history that reflects its dramatic transformation from a thriving docklands area to a world-renowned financial center. Originally part of the West India Docks established in 1802, the area became one of the busiest ports in the world, facilitating trade, particularly with the Canary Islands, from which it derived its name. The docks played a pivotal role in London's economy for nearly a century, dealing in goods such as fruit and vegetables. However, by the mid-20th century, technological advancements in shipping and the growth of larger ports led to a decline in the area’s trade, culminating in the closure of the docks by the 1980s.
The decline of Canary Wharf marked the beginning of its regeneration into the financial powerhouse it is today. In the late 1980s, the London Docklands Development Corporation initiated a major redevelopment project, transforming the area into a global financial district. Iconic skyscrapers, such as One Canada Square, were built, and Canary Wharf quickly became home to major international banks and financial institutions. Today, it stands as a symbol of modern London, with luxury apartments, commercial spaces, and vibrant public areas, continuing to be a hub for business, culture, and commerce.
