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 Upney
Upney is situated in East London, approximately 11.7 miles from the centre of the city. Its name, first recorded in 1539, means “higher island,” reflecting its origins as a hamlet in the Essex marshes. The area shows evidence of ancient activity, with Stone Age axes found nearby and a rare Bronze to Iron Age carved wooden figure discovered close to the Thames. Roman-era artifacts, including pottery and a stone coffin containing skeletons, highlight Upney’s long history. The nearby Eastbury Manor House, built in the 1570s and now a Grade I listed National Trust property, adds to the area's historical charm.
Upney evolved significantly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, shifting from marshland and pasture to a growing suburban neighbourhood. Most of the housing stock was developed in the 1920s and 1930s as part of council efforts to improve living conditions. The opening of Upney Station in 1932, now on the District Line, enhanced connectivity to central London, making Upney a practical choice for commuters. Today, Upney offers a range of traditional and modern homes, complemented by green spaces and local amenities, attracting families and investors looking for affordable and well-connected East London living.
