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.

"Thanks for the amazing welcome. Indeed you make me tenancy process stress free and i feel so happy to live in corby. Lettings advisor was very helpful, professional, prompt, reliable and friendly. She went beyond service to create a real trust and was flexible to allow time for important family decisions to be considered before committing to the apartment. Would highly recommend. "

"I had water pouring into my apartment in Pendeen Tower - not for the first time either - and I rang the concierge in my panic as it was worse than ever like a waterfall with bits of ceiling coming down and she was so calm and caring and reassuring and got people there straight away - what a treasure this lovely lady is - what an asset to Ringley and I can’t thank her enough for taking the incident seriously and not palming me off like I’ve been in the past!!"

"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."

The best places to eat out in Canterbury
After feasting on treasures of historic charm and vigorous nutrition, Canterbury offers a wide spectrum of exquisite dining options—from traditional English food to international cuisines. Here is the list for many of the best places to eat out in Canterbury:
1. There is The Goods Shed, a restaurant cum farmer's market located next to Canterbury West train station. Seasonal homeland dishes are served using locally procured ingredients, fresh produces, meats, and cheeses.
2. Café des Amis: Known locally as the place for Mexican in Canterbury, this restaurant dishes up spicy fajitas, enchiladas, tacos—just some of the menu items. The sort of lively ambiance, coupled with a choice of over 150 different tequilas and excellent cocktails, will make the meal interesting.
3. Old Buttermarket: Itself dating from the 14th century, overlooking Canterbury Cathedral, gives it a definitely traditional feel. You'll find classic British pub grub—pies, fish 'n chips, Sunday roast.
4. Chapman's Seafood Bar & Brasserie—LE: The old place overlooking Stour River gives fine dining in surroundings that hail their establishment in fresh seafood dishes from oysters, mussels, and fish of the day. Its state of mind is enhanced under the smart surroundings and riverside views.
5. Deeson's British Restaurant: This is modern seasonal British cuisine created with locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant itself is situated in a historic house with an interior design that resembles a classic dining room.
6. Ambrette: This fine dining restaurant provides a modernist twist to innovative Indian cuisine, harmoniously using local and seasonal ingredients to create dishes that bring the traditional taste of India's repertoire with modernistic techniques.
7. Foundry Brew Pub: This microbrewery-cum-pub offers a variety of on-site brewed craft beers, with the menu skewed more towards gourmet burgers, sharing platters, and seasonal special dishes.
8. Café Mauresque— This is entirely a haven of Mediterranean and North African specialties. In warm surroundings, it offers its menu dishes that consist of Tagines accompanied by Mezze platters and grilled meats, which definitely cannot be missed.
9.Oscar & Bentley's: It is a gluten-free restaurant with exquisite taste in food and catering to all kinds of diet needs. Be it Gluten-free pizzas, burgers, homemade desserts, everything is on the list.
10. The Refectory Kitchen: In the grounds of Canterbury Cathedral, offering freshly prepared sandwiches, soups, salads, and homemade cakes—light meals after visiting the Cathedral.
These restaurants in Canterbury unify taste and preference through a fusion of traditional and modern dining within the very heart of historic land.
History of Canterbury
The area has been occupied since prehistoric times, with this being shown by findings such as Neolithic and Bronze age pots as well as Lower Paleolithic axes. The famous Canterbury Cathedral was built when Pope Gregory the Great sent Augustine to convert its King Æthelberht to Christianity, the building was then built in 597 AD.
Most prestigious roads in Canterbury
The 10 most prestigious roads in Canterbury
This Kentish town in England is famous for its historical and cultural value, but there aren't any 'prestigious' roads as one would think of them in larger cities like London. That said, there are some major streets and locales that centre on the historical and architectural value of Canterbury:
1. High Street: As the main street in Canterbury, it is fully occupied by old buildings, shops, and restaurants that run up to the easily identified Westgate Towers.
2. St. Margaret's Street: This area is a picture postcard with its interesting architecture and small shops, giving an almost peerless presentation of the medieval nature of Canterbury.
3. The King's Mile: A historic street running from St. Dunstan's up to Canterbury Cathedral, with a plethora of independent shops, galleries, and eating houses that give any visitor shopping and dining experience like no other.
4. Palace Street: This street adjoins Canterbury Cathedral and comprises elegant Georgian and Victorian townhouses, some sensitively turned into boutique hotels and restaurants.
5. St. Peter's Street: This street goes toward St. Peter's Church and Canterbury Christ Church University, and comprises a mix of historic buildings and shops of the present day.
6. The Friars: This is a quiet district by the River Stour, hosting Greyfriars Chapel and Franciscan Gardens that provide serene isolation from the busy streets of Canterbury.
7. Butchery Lane: This is a small, dark, and character-packed lane running between the High Street and the precincts of the Cathedral, comprising old buildings—some of them dating to the 15th century—with a selection of artisan shops.
8. Castle Street: Comprising mainly of historic architecture, it meanders toward the ruins of Canterbury Castle. At the top of the street is access to both Dane John Gardens and Canterbury Roman Museum.
9. Mercery Lane: Serving as a medieval parallel lining to the High Street, Mercery Lane is full of historical timber-framed buildings that give in to a mix of one-off shops and cafes.
10. Burgate: This is the ancient street from the High Street that leads to the Cathedral and takes in some of the more notable buildings, including the Old Buttermarket and historical pubs.
From these streets and areas, the history and the architectural and cultural prowess of Canterbury—owing to its UNESCO World Heritage Site classification—can be gauged. They allow any visitor a taste of the medieval times at Canterbury but in the surrounding atmosphere of very modern amenities and attractions that can be visited.
