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 Ringley staff at the Prospect Place development in Cardiff Bay work hard to manage such a large estate. My experience of the concierge and cleaning team is fantastic, our block is always looking and smelling great too. We have had to call upon the site team also when we had a leak, the Caretaker in particular is an on-site legend and went the extra mile helping to neatly identify the problem and repair very quickly and professionally and even loaned a dehumidifier to help with drying out the carpets. Keep up the good work.."

"I'd like to say a huge thank you to our Estates Manager, despite having a number of issues to manage across our large site, when I asked about a particular issue in our block (a lift that was out of order) her response was both understanding of the situation, 100% professional and handled with her usual good grace. Oh yes, and effective (even if the lift company seemed to be less so) as the lift is now back in action. This is only one thing that I'd like to say thank you for - and I do want to say a huge thank you!"
| Rachel Lewis 91 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 Kentish Town
Kentish Town, located in the inner north of London within the borough of Camden, is just 4 miles from central London. The name is thought to derive from "Ken-ditch" or "Caen-ditch," meaning "bed of a waterway," and it is not related to the county of Kent. The "ken" part of the name also relates to the Celtic word for "green" or "river," while "ditch" refers to the River Fleet, now hidden underground. Another theory suggests the name comes from its position near the Fleet, as it lies between two forks of the river, with "cant" or "cantle" meaning "corner" in Middle English. Kentish Town was first recorded in 1207 as Kentisston, a small settlement along the River Fleet. By the 1450s, it had grown into a bustling hamlet.
In the 19th century, Kentish Town underwent significant modernization. The rural landscape gave way to new developments, and the River Fleet was lost to the growing city. The area became popular as a resort and an important development site, with Kentish Town Road serving as a major northward route from London. Notably, Karl Marx, the renowned philosopher, lived at 46 Grafton Terrace from 1856. During Queen Victoria's reign, the area was marked by poverty, prompting mission work to assist the impoverished. Kentish Town also became a center for piano and organ manufacturing, earning the title "that healthful suburb dear to the heart of the piano maker" in the early 20th century. In 1907, Kentish Town station opened on the Charing Cross, Euston, and Hampstead Railway, now served by the Northern Line. Over the years, Kentish Town has grown significantly, with its population increasing from 10,000 in 1841 to 15,200 by 2018, reflecting its ongoing development and transformation into the vibrant area it is today.
