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 Plaistow
Plaistow is situated in east London, in the borough of Newham. It is 8.1 miles from central London. The name Plaistow originated from 1065: Sir Hugh de Plaiz or Plaitz married Philippa de Montfitchet of the Mountfitchet Castle family, who owned the district. She probably named it the Manor of Plaiz. There is another theory of how the area got its name. In c. 1200, Plaistow was recorded as Plaguestoue, which is the Old English "pleg", meaning "sport" or "playing." However, "stowe" is the Old English for "place".
The English novelist, pamphleteer and journalist, Daniel Defoe, (1660-1731), wrote "Tour of the Eastern Counties", in 1724. He described Plaistow as a town where there had been much new building, as well as repairs to existing houses since the Glorious Revolution. This refers to the events leading to the downfall of King James II in 1688, and his replacement by his daughter Mary II and her husband and James's nephew William III of Orange, the ruler of the Dutch Republic.
During the 18th century, Plaistow was a rural village. The Black Lion public house in the High Street is one of the oldest landmarks in Plaistow. It is thought to date back to 1742. From the mid 19th century onwards, the area acquired several new Anglican churches: St. Philip's in 1860, St. Andrew's in 1868, St. Katherine's in 1891, St. Martin's in 1894 and St. Thomas's in 1898. In 1922, the Memorial Baptist Church was opened, and is now a Grade II listed building. It is a monument to the dead of World War I, (1914-1918). Its ten memorial bells show the names of more than 150 people who died in fighting. This is the largest number of names on any set of bells in the world.During the Blitz in World War II, (1939-1945), the area was heavily bombed by the Germans. This meant that a major building project had to be actioned. In the 1960s, many housing estates with tower blocks were built. However, in recent years, many estates have been replaced, as part of a major redevelopment programme. In 1858, Plaistow station was opened by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. In 1902, the District Line service was opened, and in 1936, the Metropolitan Line. This is now the Hammersmith & City Line. The Plaistow Underground station we know today, is on the District Line and Hammersmith & City Line.
