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 from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.
As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.
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' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. 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'.
We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.
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 Colindale
The name Colindale probably derives from the Colinn family who lived in the 16th century. The settlement originated in the late 19th century near the older but now lost hamlet of Colindeep, which lay in the valley of the Silk Stream, a tributary of the River Brent.
Once considered part of Hendon but now separated from that borough by the M1, the east side of Colindale has long been associated with aviation. In the years before 1914, aircraft building and pilot training dominated the locality – and these activities increased after the outbreak of the First World War, as related industries were drawn in by government intervention. Formed in 1918, the Royal Air Force used Hendon Aerodrome, which the government acquired in 1925. During the Second World War the airfield became a transport, communications and training base, but its unsuitability for post-war jet aircraft meant the last flying units left in 1957, although the RAF Hendon did not officially close until 1988. The RAF Museum opened on the plinth in 1972 in two of the airfield's original hangars, to which further exhibition rooms have since been added.
