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 Management team here in Prospect Place, the estates team are stars! Always engaging, friendly, and helpful (how they manage to remember any of us is a mystery, they're so busy with so many of us, but the always do!). I want to commend them particularly for their care over the repair and painting of my apartment following a flood - wonderful in the first instance, and their follow up (to fix a minor glitch) was brilliant: it was sorted so quickly and well THANK YOU!"

"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 Paddington
Paddington - Cultural Scene
Paddington, London, is situated around 2 miles west of the centre of London. It is thought that a Saxon settlement was recorded in c. 959, as "an estate associated with a man called Padda". The area was then spelled "Padintune".
It was not until 1801, that major construction took place in Paddington. The Grand Junction Canal established direct trading links, between London and the Midlands, and this brought more employment to the area. The Regent's Canal, built in 1820, then became dominant as a trading link. Further construction and building projects developed in Paddington in the 19th century.
In 1838, Paddington railway station opened, only temporarily. However, it was not until 1855 that the public could use the station, on a permanent basis. In 1863, the Metropolitan section of the Underground line was opened, and this was a major breakthrough, and unique as the first of its kind in the world. The line had six stops, that ran from Paddington to Farringdon. However, at this time, the area of Paddington descended into Victorian slum dwellings. Between the 1960s and 1980s, Paddington was greatly improved and redeveloped.
Michael Bond, the creator of Paddington Bear, the popular children's book, says: "I bought a small toy bear on Christmas eve 1956. I saw it left on a shelf in a London store and felt sorry for it. I took it home as a present for my wife Brenda and named it Paddington as we were living near Paddington Station at the time. I wrote some stories about the bear".

Paddington Bear can be found as a bronze statue, at Paddington Mainline Station. This is where he supposedly arrived, carrying a small suitcase and sporting a bush hat, after travelling from Peru to London. The statue is based on the original illustrations by Peggy Fortnum, and is the work of the British sculptor Marcus Cornish. It was unveiled in 2000.
Little Venice is just a short walk from Paddington station. This is the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union canal. Several operators offer boats trips, that run to Regents Park or Camden Market. The canalside is good for walking, and there are a good selection of waterside cafes. There is a welcome station staffed by volunteers, and this is usually open on Saturdays and Sundays, between 10.30 a.m. and 3 p.m.
