About Us

History

Almost thirty years ago Mr Stephen Stone, a chartered accountant and his wife Annette, a property consultant were managing a small portfolio of self- owned freehold buildings. After a short time they branched out to managing freehold portfolios for friends and business associates and also into managing other buildings where lessees recommended their services. The result was the birth of Capstone Management, originally incorporated in 1991 as Crownleague Limited and eventually operating as Grangeview Management or gml. Since 1991 we have grown by word of mouth as leaseholders and freeholders heard of our genuine desire to provide a great service. Whilst today our management portfolio is substantial we are not a complex corporate structure and the principles of close family control of all areas of the business permeate our organization. These principles are those of efficiency, honesty and integrity. Big ideas – Family Values.

Who we are

Block management specialists with 28 years of experience. Unlike other firms who may offer block management services as an add on to general property management services, we are proud of the fact that we focus solely on block management services. This policy enables us to develop, innovate and streamline our service. Capstone is a family business and the principle of close involvement of members of the family is at the centre of our ethos. We take a stand against faceless, glitzy firms who are difficult to communicate with. Our team comprises dedicated property managers, most of whom have been trained in-house in line with the “Family Stone work ethic”.

We are regulated by the Property Ombudsman.
