Block Management Bermondsey

Bermondsey'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

"I moved into a Ringley managed property recently and there have been a few small issues, with low heating temperature as the main one. Georgia from Ringley took this issue very seriously and has been so helpful in resolving it in a timely fashion. There was no need to chase her given that she followed up with emails to check for updates. In the end 3 engineers were involved but Georgia made sure the heating was fixed. Given the recent cold weather and my small children this exceptional service was appreciated. Thanks again Georgia!!"

"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 Bermondsey

 

Bermondsey, located in southeast London within the London Borough of Southwark, has a rich history dating back to medieval times. The name Bermondsey is believed to originate from the Old English "Beornmund's island," reflecting its early origins as an area of marshy land near the River Thames. Historically, Bermondsey was known for its docks, tanneries, and industrial activity, playing a vital role in London's maritime and manufacturing industries. The area developed rapidly during the 19th century as a working-class neighborhood supporting the bustling port activities along the Thames.

In recent decades, Bermondsey has undergone significant regeneration, transforming into a vibrant, creative district with modern residential developments, art galleries, and trendy restaurants. Despite its transformation, Bermondsey retains much of its historic character, with landmarks such as Bermondsey Abbey and the iconic Bermondsey Street. Today, Bermondsey is a thriving area that blends its industrial heritage with a contemporary urban lifestyle, attracting both locals and visitors alike.

Most prestigious roads in Bermondsey

Located in South East London, the area of Bermondsey incorporates the recent streets with historical backgrounds and those with industrial heritage, with very modern developments. There is not a high population of traditionally prestigious streets as in other areas in London but there are some of the top prestigious streets and areas that are very highly appreciated for their character and charm. The following are some of the renown prestigious streets and areas in Bermondsey:

  • Bermondsey street:  One of the thoroughfares is Bermondsey Street itself. It often has a historic Georgian and Victorian configuration of buildings, and it has experienced gentrification on its own. This spot in itself is the center of 'in' places with fashionable bars, eateries, arthouses, and model boutiques, thus making it a much sought-after address in terms of location.
  • Shad Thames: Shad Thames is a historic riverside street virtually opposite Tower Bridge, with converted warehouses and cobbling that once formed London's dockside industries, now a plush residential area with views over the river and smart restaurants.
  •  Tanner Street: Tanner Street enjoys a rich Victorian character with a strong industrial history; it has recently been through some regeneration and the old Victorian warehouses turned into residential lofts and creative spaces thereby making it very appealing.
  • Rothschild Street: A residential street within Bermondsey has a mix of Victorian terraces and modern new builds. Enjoying a quiet residential setting but still close to amenities and transport options.

 

While Bermondsey does not have many historical roads, the industrial heritage mixed with the new riverside locations and developments gives it a peculiarly unique and distinguished feel, thereby making it very coveted for staying in or visiting.
