Block Management Chiswick

Chiswick '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

"Our previous Factors were frankly useless and borderline criminal. Since switching to Ringley, our development has improved vastly and they even reduced the costs after reviewing the books. The difference and improvements in site and services has been night and day. My correspondence with them has always been positive and pleasant and I'd like to give a special shout out to the legal officer at Ringley Law for going above and beyond when we urgently needed specific documents for our solicitor. She really helped us out. I highly recommend Ringley."

"The lettings agents been absolutely spot-on. Always quick to sort things, proper sound, and no messing about. Had a washing machine on the blink recently, and she got it sorted faster than I could put the kettle on. If you’re after someone reliable who gets things done Cheers for everything!"

Vinay Choudhary 159 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 Chiswick

Chiswick, located in the west of London within the Borough of Hounslow, has undergone significant transformation over the years, establishing itself as one of the most desirable and affluent areas in the capital. Originally a rural village known for its market gardens and riverside location, Chiswick began to develop rapidly in the 19th century with the arrival of the railway, which provided easy access to central London. The area’s strategic position along the River Thames, combined with its proximity to the city, made it a prime location for residential development. As the population grew, Chiswick evolved into a bustling suburban area, with elegant Victorian houses and tree-lined streets, further enhancing its appeal.

Today, Chiswick boasts a dynamic real estate market that blends period homes, modern apartments, and luxury developments. Its strong transport links, including the District Line and proximity to Heathrow Airport, make it a highly attractive location for both families and professionals seeking a more relaxed lifestyle with easy access to central London. With its vibrant cultural scene, green spaces such as Chiswick House and Gardens, and excellent schools, the area continues to draw both buyers and investors. As demand for properties in Chiswick remains high, property and block management services have become increasingly important to maintain the area’s housing stock, ensuring the continued growth of this sought-after residential neighborhood.
