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 Lambeth
The name Lambeth was first recorded in 1062 as 'Lambehitha', meaning 'landing place for lambs', and it was later known as Lambeth in 1255. Fun fact, in the Doomsday Book, which was a survey to assess the wealth and and assets of William The Conqueror's, Lambeth is called "Lanchei", likely in error. The name refers to a harbour where lambs were either shipped from or to.
Lambeth, a historic district in South London, has a rich history that dates back to medieval times. The name "Lambeth" is derived from the Old English "Lambehitha," meaning "landing place for lambs," reflecting its early role as a riverside settlement. By the 13th century, Lambeth had become an important area due to its proximity to the River Thames and Westminster. Lambeth Palace, the official London residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, was established in 1197 and remains a significant landmark. The area also played a role in international diplomacy, hosting the Treaty of Lambeth in 1217, which marked the end of the First Barons' War.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, Lambeth underwent significant industrial and urban development. Its location along the Thames made it a hub for manufacturing, particularly in pottery, glassmaking, and engineering. The construction of Westminster Bridge in 1750 and the arrival of the railway in the 19th century further boosted Lambeth's growth. The area became densely populated, with a mix of residential, industrial, and commercial buildings. Public spaces like Vauxhall Gardens became popular entertainment venues, attracting visitors from across London.
The 20th century brought both challenges and transformation to Lambeth. The area suffered extensive damage during World War II due to its industrial significance and proximity to central London. Post-war redevelopment included the construction of modern housing estates and cultural landmarks like the South Bank arts complex, which houses the Royal Festival Hall and the National Theatre. Today, Lambeth is a vibrant borough known for its diverse communities, cultural institutions, and historic landmarks, blending its rich heritage with contemporary urban life.
