Working from his living room in the summer of 1996, Jonathan Blain Firmin established the business with the primary goal of creating a business with customer service being the overiding principle. In February, 1997 Blain Firmin moved to The Broadway in Southgate with a further to move to the current prime location premises on Southgate Underground Station in August 1999. Since those early days back in the late nineties the company has expanded with Jonathan being joined by a staff of ten and specialising primarily in both Residential and Commercial sectors of Sales, Lettings and Property Management with the recently opened addition of a Probate Valuations department. With an extremely motivated staff working in a very friendly environment our philosophy makes us consider no job to be too small whilst there are no limiting boundaries to our coverage we can offer.

 Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 20, 2021

 Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

 Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s 
 Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s 
 Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

 The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: <a href="https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2">https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2</a>

 Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 21, 2021

 Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

 Clear: No bars, no signal predicted 
 Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely 
 Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity 
 Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services 
 Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

 Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on December 19, 2024 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
