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
"The company clearly has undergone some changes in recent months, I have gained some great support from a member of the office to team to help resolve a few areas of frustration. Whilst some issues are difficult to resolve in short times I have definitely had an empathetic and reactive response from the team. I have been at a Ringley property for nearly a year and I value the reactiveness and patience of this team member."

"Our property manager was appointed this year and she's worked hard to bring our complex up to standard as we experienced a number of issues prior to her arrival. She is friendly, professional and really goes the extra mile. It's been a challenging year, and she's dealt with every challenge quickly, effectively and with a smile."

"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."

Guildford Cultural Scene
Guildford, located in Surrey, England, has a history that dates back to Saxon times. The town's name is believed to mean "golden ford," possibly referring to the golden sands of the River Wey or the flowers that grew along its banks. Guildford began as a small Saxon settlement and grew in importance during the 10th century when it became part of a network of fortified towns established to defend against Danish invasions. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, Guildford was a thriving community with its own mint. The Normans later built a castle in the town, which became a royal residence during the 12th century. Guildford's medieval economy was largely based on the wool trade, and the town was granted its first charter in 1257, allowing it to hold markets and fairs.
In the centuries that followed, Guildford experienced periods of growth and decline. The wool trade diminished in the 16th century, but the town's fortunes improved with the construction of the River Wey Navigation in 1653, which connected Guildford to London and facilitated trade. The arrival of the railway in the 19th century further boosted the town's development, transforming it into a key commuter hub. Guildford also became a cultural and educational center, with the establishment of the University of Surrey in 1966. Today, Guildford is known for its blend of historical landmarks, such as Guildford Castle and the Guildhall, and its modern amenities, making it a vibrant and thriving town.
