Block Management Overview

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 from a multi-disciplined team with one eye on the strategic long term plan and with sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day: the skills that block and estate management spans are: politics, building pathology, finance, legal knowhow and of course customer service too.

As a leading Managing Agent, we are a one-stop-property shop. We understand that our role is sometimes signposting Clients to get expert advice and supporting them to interpret such advice and make decisions. We support and help owners reach out to government and other local services where matters are beyond our day-to-day block management remit.

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' as our focus which is written up in our values is (a) to build relationships, (b) add value, and (c) to take the initiative: to us this means managing relationships. 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'.

We are not shy of hard work and believe our ability to get stuck in and find solutions that sets us apart. We are innovative to the core and committed to implementing good ideas in pursuit of 5* service.

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 experience with Ringleys has been good overall and this is in no small part due to our Relationship Manager who has been an amazing relationship manager, always on top of everything and personable to work with. The utmost professional even in the face of some residents lacking politeness."

"After a historic leak issue reappeared (ongoing for over a year), our Estate Manager acted promptly to trace the cause and kept me up to date on its progress. When the property in question became unresponsive, he took over comms to ensure I didn’t have to get involved any further. Thank you"

"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 Arnos Grove

Arnoss Grove History

Arnos Grove is a part of the London Borough of Enfield in London, United Kingdom. The area dates back several hundred years from its rural origin into what is Greater London today.

History of the Early Period:

1. Medieval Period: Arnos Grove formed part of the Chase of Enfield, which comprised some areas of rural farmland and woodland.

2. 17th Century: The area began to build up more intensively with the construction of Arnos Grove House a mansion built in 1719, by James Colebrook. The house would, over the ages, be expanded and modified to serve through the ages and play a vital role in developing the area.

19th Century:

1. Urbanization: The rail came in the mid-19th century, which started the urbanizing of the area. Arnos Grove remained more rural than not until early in the 20th century.

20th Century:

1. Expansion: Arnos Grove showed quite massive growth during the early 20th century following the expansion of London towards the north. New residential areas were formed and Arnos Grove became a suburb of London.

2. Arnos Grove Station: Arnos Grove tube station opened in 1932 west of the Piccadilly Line extension, opening up new avenues of growth with greater accessibility into Central London and opening further residential growth around the station.

3. Growth of the Suburb: For most of the twentieth century, Arnos Grove continued to grow as an outlying suburb of residential areas covering people who sought a more tranquil atmosphere but still wanted to remain within easy reach of central London.

Modern Times:

1. Residential Area: Arnos Grove is today intrinsically a residential suburb with a mix of detached, semi-detached, and flat-type housing.

2. Green Spaces: The area has green spaces; Arnos Park has open space and playing fields available for the community.

3. Transport Links: Arnos Grove does have transport links since it is still served by the Piccadilly Line and the local bus routes to and from central London, making it quite popular with the commuting public.

4. Community and Amenities: It has an active community with a backbone of local shops, schools, and other amenities that suffice the needs of its residents.

The Arnos Grove example is the epitome of broader trends in the urban development of suburban London over the 19th and 20th centuries when it changed from rural farmland into suburbia.
