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.

"Our lettings advisor was very helpful and gave quick responses to solve any questions or issues."

"We recently had some plumbing work done which required the water being shut off for a short period on the whole of our floor in our apartment block. Our caretaker was extremely helpful, as always, coordinating the shut down with us and our plumber. It all went without a hitch and minimal disruption."

"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."

Southend - Cultural Scene
Southend, Essex, is 36 miles to the east of London. The first known settlement was called Prittlewell, originally a 6th or 7th century Saxon village, close to St. Mary's Church. The church survives to this day, and is the only church in the area mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086; during the era of Edward I, "The Conqueror", (r.1066-1087).
The town first consisted of poor fishermen's huts and farms, at the southern end of the village of Prittlewell. However, in the 1790s, the first buildings were established, to become the High Street of Southend-On-Sea.
From the 19th century onwards, Southend-on-Sea became a popular seaside resort, and Southend Pier was constructed. Since the 19th century railway developments, the town has maintained its status as a good place to commute to London.
6.4 million tourists still visit Southend-On-Sea every year, and this generates estimated revenues of £200 million a year.
In March 2022, Southend Borough Council was presented letters patent from Queen Elizabeth II, by Charles, then Prince of Wales, officially granting the borough city status. Southend-On-Sea became the second city in the ceremonial county of Essex, after Chelmsford, which was granted city status in 2012.
