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.

"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."

Cultural Scene in Canonbury
Canonbury, situated in the London Borough of Islington, has a rich history dating back to the medieval period. The area takes its name from the canons of St Paul’s Cathedral, who once owned land here in the 12th century. Originally a rural estate, Canonbury was known for its manor house, Canonbury Tower, built in the early 16th century and famously associated with figures like Sir Francis Bacon. For centuries, the area remained mostly countryside with scattered farmhouses and manor estates, serving as a retreat for wealthy Londoners.
The 19th century brought significant change as London expanded, transforming Canonbury into a sought-after residential suburb. Victorian and Georgian terraces replaced many open spaces, and the arrival of railways improved connectivity to central London. Despite urbanisation, Canonbury has retained much of its historic charm through well-preserved architecture, including the iconic Canonbury Tower and nearby gardens. Today, it is a vibrant, desirable neighbourhood known for its cultural heritage, leafy streets, and artistic community.
