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 Clapton
Clapton is a very old medieval settlement in East London. "Clapton" has been originated from the Old English word "Clappa" rising or hillland and "ton" village. Clapton was open land and was primarily utilized as arable land during the 13th century and was peaceful until the 19th century. Its development was encouraged by the growth of the railway network, especially after the building of the Clapton railway station during the 19th century. It connected Clapton to the center of London and started life as a suburb.
During the late Victorian era, Clapton had been transformed from open fields to inner-city land, and new family terraced houses were built to house the increasing population. As the land expanded along the district edge, Clapton was a working-class community center, and warehouses and factories were the sites of employment. It was also described as ethnically diverse with close-knit communities, and the community contained diverse ethnic communities. As the 20th and 21st centuries passed, Clapton more and more developed and gentrified and altered the character of the community. Clapton is a busy, lively borough in the heart of Hackney today, famous for its history, high street markets, and lively culture.
