The first residents to move into the Cascades Tower in the late 1980s watched as London’s Docklands changed out of all recognition. Today this development looks as striking as when it was first built.
One of the most iconic of London Docklands’ apartment buildings, Cascades Tower was designed by architect CZWG and completed in 1988 by developer Kentish Homes. It was the first private building to be completed on the Isle of Dogs as the regeneration of this previously run-down part of the capital took shape and the block remains an enduring landmark on the Docklands skyline. Today the Isle of Dogs is a thriving area with some of the world’s leading finance houses located at nearby Canary Wharf - also a major shopping destination and transport hub. The luxury apartment blocks that dot the skyline are now home to thousands of Londoners.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve always had a mistrust ‘thing’ about estate agents… and I’ve been working in this industry for over 10 years.
Sure, there’s some good people out there, people who always cut to the chase (in a good way), don’t waffle, tell you how the market really is and always return your calls and emails promptly. But, and it’s a big but, there are also agents out there who do the complete opposite – they revert to type – they revert to the generally held perception of estate agents.
When I set Proper Local up no one needed to tell me what the ethos should be, because for me it was obvious, and indeed natural: set up a company which just does the job properly, with no ego, no shiny suits, and only, and I really mean ONLY deal with a geographical area you actually know about.
