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
"This morning I got locked in my flat as the door handle came out, the door closed and got stuck. I called the GMV concierge, two members of the team came to help me right away. They were lovely and they tried to comfort me while they were doing the work. They managed to open the door and fix the issue in a short time. Thank you both so so much!"

"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 Chalk Farm
Chalk Farm, located just north of Camden Town, has a history rooted in agriculture and rural life. Originally, it was a farmhouse set within fields, which is reflected in its name. The area remained largely rural until the early 19th century, when rapid urban development began to change its character. By the 1840s, residential housing and commercial shops started to spring up along Regent’s Park Road, transforming Chalk Farm from a countryside retreat into a growing urban area. Despite this, some remnants of its rural past lingered in the names of streets and local landmarks.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Chalk Farm continued to evolve with the growth of London's rail network, which further integrated it into the wider city. It became known for its proximity to Camden Town, and its popularity grew, particularly in the 20th century as it became more accessible to the public. Over the years, Chalk Farm saw the emergence of diverse cultural influences, becoming part of the vibrant atmosphere surrounding Camden. Today, the former farmhouse, which has long since been converted into a restaurant, serves as a reminder of the area’s agricultural roots amidst the bustling, urban environment that surrounds it.
