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 Islington
Islington, an inner-city area in North London, has a rich history that dates back to the Anglo-Saxon era. The name "Islington" originates from "Giseldone" or "Gislandune," meaning "Gisla's hill," derived from an Old English personal name and the word "dun" for hill. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, the name had evolved to "Isendone" and later "Iseldone," before settling on its modern form in the 17th century. During the Middle Ages, much of the land in Islington was owned by religious institutions, including the Bishop of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. The area was primarily rural, with moated manor houses at Canonbury and Highbury, and it served as a resting point for cattle drovers heading to Smithfield Market. The establishment of St. Mary's Church in the 12th century marked an important milestone in the area's development.
By the 18th century, Islington had transformed from a hamlet into a village, known for its dairy farms supplying London with milk and butter. The 19th century brought rapid urbanization, with terraced houses replacing agricultural land and the advent of railways spurring industrial growth. However, the area faced social decline during this period, with many elegant squares falling into disrepair. The 20th century saw significant challenges, including bomb damage during World War II, but post-war rebuilding and later gentrification revitalized Islington. Today, it is a desirable residential area, celebrated for its vibrant cultural scene, historic landmarks, and thriving arts and entertainment venues.
