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 Stepney
Stepney is situated east of the City of London, in the borough of Tower Hamlets. It is 4.6 miles from the centre of London. The first recorded name was "Stybbnahyo", meaning land-place, in 1000. In modern English, this is "Stybba's landing-place". This was the name of an individual.
Until the 19th century, Stepney had a small population, and dwellings were scattered farms and small hamlets.
In 1902, a major turning point was that Stepney station was opened, by the Whitechapel and Bow Railway. In 1950, this station was transferred to the London Underground, and is now on the District Line and Hammersmith and City Line.
The area was urbanised, driven by maritime trades along the river, and a programme of slum clearance was actioned. During the 1920s and 1930s, during the reign of George V, (r. 1910-1936), there was a regeneration of housing. But overcrowding remained a problem, as there was the need to house many people. At this time, many industries operated, and the clothing industry was the largest employer.
In 1945, during the reign of George VI, (r. 1936-1952), the Stepney Reconstruction Group published a report. This showed a problem with communities that were broken up, despite relocation from slums to affordable housing. Another problem was that during World War II, (1939-1945), Stepney was severely bombed, as the Germans targeted the Docklands, and more than a third of homes were lost.The report, "Living in Stepney" recommended that where industries had been bombed, they should not be allowed to rebuild and start again, unless it was of vital national interest for that they should remain in Stepney. The concept of New Towns was discussed. These focussed on Essex, as relocation to towns such as Chipping Ongar, Harlow and Margaretting, meant an improved Stepney. In recent years, building regeneration has taken place. The area is considered to be relatively affordable, compared to other east London boroughs.
