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 Swiss Cottage
Swiss Cottage, located in the London Borough of Camden, derives its name from a distinctive public house built in 1804. Originally called "The Swiss Tavern," this inn was designed in the style of a Swiss chalet, reflecting the romantic fascination with Alpine architecture during the period. The area developed around this landmark, which later became known as "Ye Olde Swiss Cottage." Positioned at the junction of Finchley Road and Avenue Road, the tavern served as a focal point for the growing community and gave the district its unique identity.
Urban development in Swiss Cottage gained momentum in the 19th century, particularly after the construction of Finchley New Road, authorized by the Finchley Road Act of 1826. This new infrastructure attracted middle and upper-class residents, leading to the establishment of elegant homes and cultural landmarks. The area continued to evolve in the 20th century, with notable additions such as the Odeon cinema and the Regency Lodge flats in the 1930s. Post-World War II, Swiss Cottage saw the construction of council housing, including the iconic Chalcots Estate, which became a defining feature of the local skyline.
Today, Swiss Cottage is a vibrant and diverse neighborhood that blends historical charm with modern amenities. Its cultural scene is enriched by venues like the Swiss Cottage Library and Hampstead Theatre, which host a variety of artistic and community events. The area's architectural heritage, combined with its thriving arts and leisure offerings, makes Swiss Cottage a distinctive and dynamic part of London.
