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
"The lettings advisor was really helpful and ensured a smooth move into Viscount House."
| Ipsita 23 days ago |
"Moving was as easy as it could be. We arrived late, but the lettings advisor was still on hand to hand them over. She also organised a second (same day) clean because we weren't satisfied with the clean that had already been done. This was a great help especially with us having a two year old."

"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."

History of Limehouse
Limehouse takes its name from the local lime kilns. These were used by potteries making wares for shipping companies and ships in the East End docks. Some also believe that the name referred to the sailors who disembarked from their ships in this area.
The first reference to the area is believed to date from 1356 when it was known as Les Lymhostes. In the early 1400s the area was also recorded as Lymhosteys. In addition to Limehouse's role in the production of local pottery, the area was also a well-known and important port. Like much of the East End, it is close to the river and traditional Docklands.
In the Middle Ages, Limehouse was indeed a large and important London port. Focused on manufacturing rather than cargo handling, it was known for its shipbuilding, rope making and ship supply business. In the time of Elizabeth I, Limehouse was a prominent commercial center and after her death it is estimated that almost half of Limehouse's 3,000 inhabitants had some connection to the sea.
Limehouse, a historic district in East London, has a rich maritime heritage that dates back to medieval times. The name "Limehouse" is believed to originate from the lime kilns, or "lime oasts," that were used in the area for pottery production. These kilns played a crucial role in crafting goods for shipping companies and vessels in the East End docks. Limehouse's proximity to the River Thames made it a significant port during the medieval period, focusing on shipbuilding, rope-making, and supply businesses rather than cargo handling. By the Elizabethan era, Limehouse had become a leading trade center, with a large portion of its population connected to seafaring activities.
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Limehouse developed London's first Chinatown, attracting Chinese sailors and immigrants who settled in the docklands. This vibrant community established facilities such as a Confucian temple and a Chinese-Christian Mission, contributing to the area's cultural diversity. However, Limehouse's Chinatown also faced challenges, including prejudice and negative portrayals in popular culture, such as Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu series. Despite these difficulties, the community thrived, creating a tightly-knit "urban village" atmosphere.
In the modern era, Limehouse has undergone significant transformation, blending its historical charm with contemporary developments. The Limehouse Basin, once a bustling dock, has been redeveloped into a marina surrounded by residential and commercial spaces. The area's maritime character is still evident through its riverside pubs and landmarks like Limehouse Stairs. Limehouse continues to celebrate its rich history while embracing its role as a dynamic and evolving part of East London.
