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 Kings Norton
Kings Norton Cultural Scene
Kings Norton, a historic area in Birmingham, England, has roots that stretch back to the Anglo-Saxon period. The name "Kings Norton" is derived from the Old English "Nord tun," meaning "north farm" or "north settlement," and it was historically the northernmost manor of Bromsgrove in Worcestershire. The area was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as "Nortune," highlighting its significance even during medieval times. Kings Norton remained a royal manor for centuries, with its lands owned by the Crown until 1804. Archaeological evidence, such as Roman pottery and ditches found near Parsons Hill, suggests that the area was inhabited even earlier, during the Romano-British period.
During the English Civil War in the 17th century, Kings Norton was the site of notable skirmishes. In 1642, a force led by Prince Rupert of the Rhine was ambushed on Kings Norton Green by a smaller Parliamentarian group, resulting in a fierce battle. The area also played a role in the industrial growth of Birmingham, with its proximity to major transport routes like the Worcester and Birmingham Canal contributing to its development. The village green, surrounded by historic buildings such as St. Nicolas Church and the Saracen's Head, remains a focal point of the community and a reminder of its rich heritage.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, Kings Norton underwent significant urbanization, transitioning from a rural village to a suburban area. The arrival of the railway and the expansion of Birmingham's industrial base brought new opportunities and challenges to the community. Despite these changes, Kings Norton has managed to preserve its historical charm, particularly around The Green, which retains its village-like character. Today, it is celebrated for its blend of historical significance and modern amenities, making it a unique and vibrant part of Birmingham.
