Block Management Grove Park

Grove Park'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 received fast and excellent service when reporting the issue of overgrown hedges and trees behind our flat. The team handled the matter very efficiently, promptly contacting the gardeners and resolving the issue within a couple of days of my initial contact with Ringley."

Nathen 9 days ago

"My communication with the property manager was very helpful indeed. He is very clear and competent and a notable exception to the rest of my many contacts with Ringley. I found the Ringley website to be a disaster, extremely complex and impossible to use. Information given on line is obscure and I found it incomprehensible and only after eight telephone calls to different people at Ringley was I able to get the information I needed at last when I was finally able to speak to the property manager. "

Richard 60 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 Grove Park

Grove Park has a rich history that dates back to the 18th century, initially known for its rural and agricultural landscape. During this time, the area was sparsely populated, with farmland and open fields predominating the surroundings. However, the late 19th century brought significant changes with the arrival of the railway, which made the area much more accessible to central London. This connectivity spurred the development of Grove Park into a residential area, attracting professionals and families seeking a peaceful yet well-connected place to live. As a result, Grove Park grew rapidly during this period and became known for its suburban appeal, with large, well-designed homes and proximity to green spaces that added to its charm.

Over time, Grove Park became home to several historical buildings, such as the stunning St. Augustine’s Church, which dates back to the Victorian era. The area saw considerable growth during the 20th century, yet it has successfully maintained its suburban character and peaceful atmosphere. The abundance of parks and green spaces continues to make it an attractive place for residents and visitors alike, offering a serene escape from the urban landscape. Today, Grove Park remains a desirable residential area, known for its peaceful surroundings, strong sense of community, and excellent transport links. Its historical significance and modern developments combine to make Grove Park a unique and vibrant part of London.
