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 Reviews
"We've had some issues recently with a leak in our flat's ceiling in Prospect Place. The onsite caretaker has been round on several occasions now to assess and repair the damage. He's been incredibly friendly and explained the process at each step. He's persevered through a lengthy repair process with a few hurdles to overcome and has generally been a credit to Ringley!"

"We moved in towards the beginning of January 24, and Antonia was our main point of contact. She was brilliant through out our move and very prompt with her responses. The entire team in fact are great, all the building management members make sure it’s a community, it’s been a great experience even with our renewal coming up. Great apartments, ideal location too. There’s a lot of peace and quiet but a stone throw away from the busy streets. AC is a really comfortable option."

"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 Cranbrook
Cranbrook, located in the London Borough of Redbridge, has a history rooted in rural beginnings before becoming a suburban area in the 20th century. The name “Cranbrook” likely refers to a stream frequented by cranes or herons that once ran through the area. Historically, Cranbrook was part of the ancient parish of Ilford and consisted mostly of open fields and farmland. The area remained largely undeveloped until the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when London’s expansion brought new housing developments to meet the needs of a growing population.
By the mid-20th century, Cranbrook had become a well-established residential neighbourhood, characterised by tree-lined streets and Edwardian and interwar housing. Its growth was supported by improved transport links, such as nearby railway stations and major roads, which made commuting into central London easier. Today, Cranbrook is a quiet suburban area known for its green spaces, including the popular Valentines Park, and its strong community feel, blending its historical roots with modern urban life.
