Block Management Belvedere

Belvedere 's No 1 Managing agent

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 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

"Had a great experience with the lettings advisor, nice and helpful."

Mojgan Mortazavi 19 days ago

"The company clearly has undergone some changes in recent months, I have gained some great support from a member of the office to team to help resolve a few areas of frustration. Whilst some issues are difficult to resolve in short times I have definitely had an empathetic and reactive response. I have been at a Ringley property for nearly a year and I value the reactiveness and patience of this team member"

Luke Keenan 56 days ago

"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 Belvedere

A Brief History

Belvedere’s history traces back to the early 19th century when it was largely rural and sparsely populated. The area's name, derived from the Italian word for "beautiful view," reflects its scenic outlook, particularly of the Thames. As London’s urban sprawl grew in the 19th century, Belvedere began to develop into a residential area, especially after the arrival of the railway in the 1860s, which linked it to central London. This made Belvedere an increasingly attractive location for those seeking suburban living close to the capital.

By the early 20th century, Belvedere had transformed into a thriving suburb with a mix of working-class homes and small businesses. The area continued to expand, especially during the post-World War II period, when it saw an increase in housing development and further infrastructure improvements. Despite this urban growth, Belvedere has retained its green spaces and suburban character, offering residents and visitors alike a peaceful retreat while maintaining easy access to central London’s vibrant cultural and economic life.
