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."

Things to do in East Hampshire
East Hampshire Cultural Scene
Hampshire, located in southern England, has a rich and diverse history that spans thousands of years. The region was first settled during the Neolithic period, with evidence of early farming communities and hill forts such as Winklebury. During the Roman invasion of Britain, Hampshire was among the first areas to fall under Roman control, becoming an important part of their network with towns like Venta Belgarum (modern-day Winchester). After the Romans, the area was settled by Jutish tribes, who established small kingdoms before being absorbed into the Saxon Kingdom of Wessex. Winchester became the capital of Wessex and later a significant city in early medieval England, with many Saxon kings buried there.
The Norman Conquest brought further changes to Hampshire, with the establishment of the New Forest as a royal hunting ground by William the Conqueror. The county's strategic location along the coast made it a key area for defense and trade, with historic ports like Southampton and Portsmouth playing vital roles. Over the centuries, Hampshire has been a center for maritime activity, including the departure of the Mayflower and the Titanic. Its rich history is reflected in its many castles, historic towns, and cultural landmarks.
