Block Management Hackney

Hackney'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

"We didn't have the best starts with Ringley, as we got a little forgotten about when our previous property manager left abruptly. However, since our property manager has taken over, the experience has been excellent. She’s efficient, knowledgeable, and proactive, turning things around completely. I would highly recommend her!"

"The lettings agents is amazing! She's been so helpful from the moment I enquired about an available apartment. She responds promptly and is always kind. I'm a first time renter and she has answered all my stupid questions about the process without making me feel silly. She has dealt with any issues very quickly and has made the whole move so much easier Thank you!"

"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 Hackney

Hackney, located in East London, has a rich history that dates back to Roman times when the area was primarily farmland supplying the Roman city of Londinium. The name "Hackney" is believed to derive from "Haca's ey," referring to an island or raised area in the marshes near the River Lea, owned by a Dane named Haca. By the medieval period, Hackney had developed into a collection of small hamlets, with its economy centered around agriculture. The area gained prominence in the Tudor era as a retreat for wealthy Londoners, with grand houses and estates being established. Notable residents included the playwright Christopher Marlowe and the poet Edmund Spenser. The 17th and 18th centuries saw Hackney evolve into a more urbanized area, with the construction of civic institutions and the development of industries such as furniture making.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Hackney underwent significant changes, becoming a densely populated urban borough. The arrival of the railway in the mid-19th century spurred rapid development, transforming Hackney into a hub for working-class communities. The area became known for its vibrant markets, such as Ridley Road Market, and its diverse population, which included waves of immigrants from Europe and the Caribbean. Despite challenges such as bomb damage during World War II and periods of economic decline, Hackney has experienced regeneration in recent decades. Today, it is celebrated for its cultural diversity, thriving arts scene, and historic landmarks like Sutton House and the Hackney Empire.
