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 Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth is situated in Hertfordshire, in the Three Rivers District, to the north-west of London. It is 17 miles from the centre of London. The first name was recorded in Saxon times: "Ryckmer", named after a local landowner, "worth", meaning a farm or stockade. During the reign of King William I, "The Conqueror", (1066-1087), the Domesday Book published in 1086, shows the area as the Manor of Prichemaresworde. At this time, the population was around 200. During the Medieval era, the town had numerous different variations on its name.
The wider area, including Croxley Green, Moor Park, Batchworth, Mill End, West Hyde and Chorleywood, formed the original parish of Rickmansworth. In around 1270, St. Mary's Parish Church, Rickmansworth, was first built. Nothing remains of these buildings today. The church had a turbulent history. For example, some time between 1514 and 1529, during the early period of the Reformation, conversion from Catholicism to Protestantism, some parishioners were angry at ecclesiastical malpractices of Protestantism. They broke into the church and caused much damage. The years after the Reformation were difficult: although the present tower was added in 1630, ten years later the church was further damaged. The church was in such bad condition that it had to be rebuilt, first in 1826, and then in the late 1880s.
In 1851, during the Victorian era, the population was 4,800, and the parish was divided. The Three Rivers, the Colne, Chess and Gade, were important for the watercress trade, and power for corn milling, silk weaving, paper making and brewing. Other industries have included leather-tanning, soft drinks, laundry-plaiting and stocking production. Today, the rivers, canal and flooded gravel pits provide for recreation.
In 1862, the first Rickmansworth station, was on a 4.5 mile single track railway line, on the Watford and Rickmansworth Railway (WRR), between Rickmansworth and Watford. The original railway was not a financial success. In 1887, Rickmansworth station was opened, as the terminus of the Metropolitan Railway's extension from Pinner. In 1889, the line was extended from Rickmansworth to Chesham. In 1898, Rickmansworth was shared with the Great Central Railway, which reached Quainton Road. The Rickmansworth Underground station we know today, is on the Metropolitan Line.
Rickmansworth was significantly developed during the Victorian era. In the 1920s and 1930s, the area was referred to as Metroland, due to the extension of the Metropolitan Railway. Thus Rickmansworth became a thriving, commuter town, popular with affluent people. The town remains pleasant, surrounded by nature, and is ideal for commuters.
