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.

"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 Riddlesdown
Riddlesdown Cultural Scene
Riddlesdown is a tranquil suburban village in the London Borough of Croydon, formed for its expansive open spaces and abundant natural heritage. The name "Riddlesdown" is believed to have come from the Old English word "rydels," or open ground or clearing, in recognition of its past as a rural heathland. Riddlesdown remained largely underdeveloped for centuries, occupying chalk downland, woodland, and grassland, which have been preserved in their original form as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
The growth of the district began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as London expanded and suburban expansion pushed further in. However, much of the natural landscape was preserved through conservation efforts, including the establishment of Riddlesdown Common. This compromise between nature and development has been able to retain Riddlesdown's village feel while keeping it accessible to London. Today, Riddlesdown is appreciated for its green open spaces, excellent schools, and peaceful residential roads, and it is a popular choice for families and individuals who wish to be in the country but close to the city.
