Block Management Holland Park

Holland 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.

"Incredible facilities, highest standards. Any issues with your apartment are so swiftly dealt with by the delightful the maintenance team who are the extremely knowledgeable and lovely maintenance team."

Katherine Viktoria 139 days ago

"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!"

Maria MR 127 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."

Holland Park - Cultural Scene

History of Holland Park

Holland Park, located in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, is a unique area in London that blends luxury residential living, historical significance, and vibrant cultural life. It is a neighborhood that straddles the line between the affluent, high-society areas of Kensington to the south and the bohemian, artistic vibe of Notting Hill to the north, offering a distinctive atmosphere all its own. Architecturally, the area is renowned for its beautiful, large Victorian townhouses, many of which are four-story homes featuring 5 to 7 bedrooms. These homes come in various styles and designs, reflecting the neighborhood's rich history and architectural diversity. Today, Holland Park is one of the most desirable and expensive residential areas in London, attracting celebrities, wealthy business figures, and foreign dignitaries, with some properties reaching over £10 million in price.

The area’s name is derived from Holland House, a grand mansion built in 1605, once owned by Lord Holland. Although the house was bombed during the Blitz in World War II, leaving only the ruins of the ground floor, the legacy of the mansion endures through the surrounding neighborhood. Streets like Royal Crescent, inspired by the famous crescent in Bath, and others such as Campden Hill Square, Philmore Street, and Addison Road, all retain their original charm and character, with some becoming listed monuments. Holland Park itself, covering 54 acres, serves as a peaceful green space amidst the urban hustle, offering a serene retreat for locals and visitors. The park was originally part of the grounds of Cope Castle, which formed the estate of Holland House, and today it provides a small oasis of calm, with landscaped gardens, wooded areas, and even a Japanese garden, making it a treasured spot in the heart of London.
