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
"The team have been fab, the place is lovely"
| Luke Wilson 195 days ago |
"The relationship manager for my block at GMV, provided invaluable assistance in clarifying the recent service charge bills and correspondence. The documents were presented in a format that was difficult to comprehend, leaving ambiguity regarding the demands and deductions made by DD. Susi went above and beyond to understand the issue, ensuring that the information she conveyed was both accurate and clear. Her professionalism and exceptional interpersonal skills were evident throughout our interactions, and I highly commend her for her outstanding service."

"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 Upton Park
Upton Gardens is situated in east London, in the borough of Newham. It is 8.6 miles from the centre of London. The area was first recorded in 1203 as Hupinton, then in 1290 as Hopton and in 1485 as Upton. The name originates from the Old English words "upp" and "tun", meaning higher farmstead.
From the 17th century onwards, Upton was a wealthy hamlet. One of its oldest surviving buildings is the Old Spotted Dog. It was thought to once have been a hunting lodge for King Henry VIII, (r. 1509-1547). The building was converted into a pub in the 19th century. For the last decade, it has been abandoned. However, it is on England's Heritage at Risk register. Planning permission and listed building consent have been secured for the repair and re-use of the building as pub, restaurant and hotel.
During the reign of Queen Victoria, (1837-1901), from the 1870s onwards, the pretty hamlet began to disappear, and was replaced with extensive terraced houses. Fields south-east of Upton were re-developed in the mid 1880s, and the new estate was called Upton Park.
In 1877, Upton Park station was opened by the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway. In 1902, the District Line service began; and in 1936, the Metropolitan Line followed. This is the line we know today as the Hammersmith & City Line. Currently, Upton Park Underground station is on the District Line and Hammersmith & City Line. One of the most iconic aspects of Upton Park's history is its association with football. The Boleyn Ground, often referred to as Upton Park, was the home of West Ham United Football Club from 1904 until 2016. This stadium was a central part of the community and witnessed countless memorable matches before the club relocated to the London Stadium
