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 lettings negotiator was absolutely amazing. Getting the perfect place can be very difficult and she was patient with us, and provided the necessary guidance. Although we couldn’t secure our preferred property which was not in her control, she was helpful in getting what we now call a home. Thank you."

"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. I have been at a Ringley property for nearly a year and I value the reactiveness and patience of this team member"

"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."

King's Cross - Cultural Scene
King's Cross is situated to the north of London, in the borough of Camden. It is 1.5 miles from central London. The area was originally close to the Roman settlement of Londinium. Roman remains to show it may have been the site of a crossing of the Fleet River. It is thought to be the place of a legendary battle, in AD 61, between Queen Boudicca and Roman invaders. The battle took place at Broad Ford, in a valley between King's Cross and St. Pancras. Boudicca was the warrior queen of the Iceni tribe in England. She was eventually defeated by the Roman army, led by Paulinus. It is believed that Boudicca's final resting place is under Platform Nine, at King's Cross station.
In AD 597, a mission of Roman monks arrived in Essex, with the relics of the martyr saint, St. Pancras. They intended to convert Britain to Christianity. The monks built a church in the place where St. Pancras Old Church is today. This site is one of the oldest places of Christian worship in Europe. In the 18th century, the King's Cross area remained rural, with open fields adjacent to York Way. Throughout the fields, there were small settlements, such as Battle Bridge. York Way's original name was Longwich Lane and then Maiden Lane. This road and Pancras Road, formerly King's Road, were traditional routes out of London, to the north. The area was popular with Londoners escaping the city, to health spas and country inns.
In the 19th century, King's Cross was linked to major industrial cities in the north of England. In 1820, the completion of the Regent's Canal was a major asset for such trade links. In 1824, the Imperial Gas Light and Coke Company opened Pancras Gasworks, to the south of the canal. Other local industries caused pollution problems, including paint manufacture and refuse sorting. Much of the land to the north of the canal remained open fields. As the area was rundown, a move to improve its quality was introduced, in 1830, at the Battle Bridge crossroads, a statue of King George IV, (r. 1820-1830), was built. Unfortunately, the statue attracted ridicule and was eventually demolished in 1842. However, the new name for the area, "King's Cross", stuck.
In 1850, the first temporary passenger station opened, to the north of the canal. In 1852, King's Cross station opened; and this led the way to further industries and housing development.
During the 19th and 20th centuries, King's Cross was a mix of well-to-do and impoverished. In the 1990s, many buildings became derelict. Crime remained a problem, with unemployment and a poor-quality environment. However, there was a thriving culture for artists and creative organisations.
In 2001, major improvements took place: the construction of the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, and the restoration and extension of St. Pancras station. The area has seen an investment of over £2.5 billion, in transport infrastructure. In 2007, the new St. Pancras International terminus opened. The original Midland Hotel was restored and re-opened as St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel. The area has greatly improved, thanks to an incredible investment in world-class buildings such as the Francis Crick Institute and King's Place. These examples show a real impetus for future developments.
