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."

History of Upminster
Upminster, located in East London within the London Borough of Havering, has a rich history that reflects its evolution from a rural village to a suburban town. The name "Upminster" is derived from Old English, meaning "the large church on high ground," referring to the historic St. Laurence's Church, which remains a prominent landmark.
The area has roots dating back to Roman times, with evidence of a Roman farmstead from the 1st to 3rd centuries. During the medieval period, Upminster was primarily an agricultural community, with its economy centered around farming and market gardening. By the 17th century, the village expanded to include industries such as brickmaking and gravel extraction.Upminster's transformation began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the arrival of the railway in 1885, connecting it to central London. This development spurred suburban growth, and by the mid-20th century, Upminster had become part of Greater London. Today, it is known for its blend of historical charm and modern amenities.
