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
"Our property manager was appointed this year and she's worked hard to bring our complex up to standard as we experienced a number of issues prior to her arrival. She is friendly, professional and really goes the extra mile. It's been a challenging year, and she's dealt with every challenge quickly, effectively and with a smile."

"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."

History of Southgate
Southgate was originally a hamlet, first mentioned in 1370. The gate stood near what is now Southgate tube station, in north London. Perhaps surprisingly, the original layout established in the 14th century, no longer exists. It must have been a small settlement, because there was no medieval church or civil administration. Southgate village originally formed part of Edmonton parish and hundred.
Wealthy Londoners settled in Southgate in the 18th century, replacing woodland with mansions, set in landscaped parkland, surrounded by farms.
A fine group of Georgian houses for the well-to-do, developed around the Green. By the end of the 18th century, the village had occupied most of the High Street. Several landowners had relatively small holdings, each developing their own plots, to their own specification. A pleasant terrace close to the Green was built by Michael Searles, whose work is also admired in Blackheath and Walworth.
