Block Management Gatwick Airport

Gatwick Airport'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

"The caretaker of Hunslet House is always friendly, patient, and approachable. Anything in my apartment that needs fixing, he gets done on time. His helpful and cheerful nature makes everything easier."

"I believe Ringley’s group working at prospect place are very professional, trustworthy and providing their services with care and passion. They are keen on helping tenants and leaseholders and providing a relaxing environment. Their cutting short unnecessary expenses to reduce our management costs is well noticed. The staff at the concierge are always available and address any problems we encounter with patience and smile. I still remember that incident when I lost my wallet one night and the night shift helped me search for it, and retrieve it. All I can say guys thank you and keep the good work"

"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 Gatwick Airport

Gatwick Airport, now situated close to Crawley in West Sussex, south of London, has a history dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. It was accompanied by a private airfield in the 1920s and received its license for commercial flights in 1933. The airport’s name stems from Gatwick Manor, a site that existed during the Medieval era. Gatwick was also an Royal Air Force base during WWII and returned to civilian usage post-war. Between the 1950s to 1980s, it underwent massive redevelopment and construction Gatsow Railway station, one of the first in the units, enabling seamless transit to the terminal. 

During the late 20th and early 21st century, Gatwick met the Modern-France relations standards by enabling services such as international flights and catering too, as well as servicing an extraction of passengers annually. Compared to Heathrow, Gatwick still emerges with only a single runway, coupled with the fact that it's one of the most efficient single-runway stations makes it one of the leading Airports. Other than the recent upgrades and expansions, Gatwick is still a cornerstone of UK aviation and serves as a south for the economy.

It is because of the millions of international passengers that Gatwick's cultural atmosphere is alive and busy with activities. Gatwick does not only embraces diversity through its passenger but also through art and cuisines it serves. From contemporary art to curated experiences, Gatwick empbraces diversity as much as its visitors.  

Having described the array of cuisine passengers can savor, it goes above and beyond by serving pan-Asian street food, Mediterranean tapas, and even good old British cuisine. One can also immerse themselves into British culture by viewing hourly shift displays by local artists which are often themed around holiday celebrations or major international events.

Passengers can easily access Crawley where they can expand British cultural knowledge as they host small scale local theatres and art fests. In relation to the previously mentioned eateries, Gatwick also serves as a United Kingdom departure point which is why it is very convenient to have cultural landmarks and festivals in close vicinity.
