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
"I don’t usually trust estate agents due to past experiences, but the lettings advisor has completely transformed my perception. From the very beginning of trying to rent with her, it was immediately clear that she is exceptional at what she does. Her professionalism and intelligence shine through in every interaction. She has such a smart, proactive approach to her work, always anticipating potential questions or concerns before they arise. I was impressed by how efficiently she handled every detail, making what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process feel incredibly smooth and manageable. Her communication skills are outstanding—she kept me fully informed at every stage, responding quickly and thoroughly to any queries I had. Even when things got complicated, she remained calm and solutions-focused, ensuring that I never felt lost or uncertain about the next steps. What truly sets her apart is her genuine care. She doesn’t just go through the motions; she takes the time to understand your specific needs and provides tailored guidance. I’ve worked with other estate agents in the past who made me feel like just another number, but the personal touch has completely earned my trust. She’s incredibly reliable and has such a warm, approachable attitude, which made me feel comfortable from the start. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does and takes pride in delivering top-notch service, which makes all the difference. I honestly can’t recommend her enough—she's someone you can count on to make the rental process not only easy but also enjoyable. With her at the helm, I truly feel like I’m in the best hands possible."

"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."

Culture and History in Colindale
Colindale in North West London in the London Borough of Barnet has, over the centuries, been developed from farmland into tumbledown suburban sprawl. "Colindale" is said to have derived from Colena's Dell,and had previously been so named after a Saxon settler. During mediaeval times, the area was mostly arable land, thinly populated and rural, and consisted of nothing but wood and some farms.It was the 19th century when Colindale actually began growing by leaps and bounds as the railway arrived in the second half of the 1800s.
It was indeed a landmark that in 1924 the Northern Line branch opening occurred when the area's accessibility improved and housing development began to take form. Following the death of the 20th century, there had been a growing need for housing in North London, and Colindale continued to register steady rises in population along with urbanisation.In the mid-century, Colindale's area remained predominantly residential in nature, but industrialisation also began to take centre stage, and large housing states and new motorways replaced what remained of the countryside. One of the more immediately noticeable features of 20th-century Colindale is the location of the now former British Library Newspaper Collection, which relocated to a library constructed in the early 2010s. Colindale is now a multicultural, cosmopolitan suburb made up of detached blocks of flats, open space, and recreational facilities and thus an aspirational area for commuters and families.
