Block Management Kingsbury

Kingsbury'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

"The lettings advisor is great and helpful"

Pia Carlsen 52 days ago

"Over the past 20 years, I've dealt with various managing agents, and my experiences, frankly, have not been great. If you’re lucky, you might get a response to an email or call within days—more often, it’s weeks. I’ve even had to resort to physically visiting offices to obtain documents because no one would reply. So, when Ringley took over the management of our block, my expectations were understandably low. However, I have to say they’ve completely redefined what I thought was possible in this industry. Typically, with services like Michelin-starred restaurants or five-star hotels, exceptional service is expected—it’s the baseline, and only subpar experiences get noticed. But when you expect very little, and then receive five-star service, it’s truly remarkable. I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one because Ringley’s team has been absolutely outstanding. I’d particularly like to mention our appointed relationship manager, legal advisor and onsite office manager, who have been nothing short of exceptional. Their efficiency, professionalism, and courteousness have been consistent throughout. As the saying goes, "one swallow does not a summer make," but when three individuals in a company deliver this level of service, it’s a clear reflection of the entire organisation’s values and culture. Thanks to Ringley, I no longer dread dealing with managing agents—I feel incredibly grateful to have them overseeing our development. If you’re looking for a managing agent that delivers true five-star service, Ringley is the gold standard."

"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 Kingsbury

The history of Kingsbury dates back to Saxon times, with its name meaning "King’s Manor." It was recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as a small rural settlement. Over time, the area saw gradual development, with farmland giving way to suburban housing in the early 20th century.

Kingsbury experienced significant growth during the interwar years, as London expanded outward. The arrival of the Underground network in the 1930s transformed Kingsbury into a thriving suburban district. Today, it remains a sought-after residential area with a blend of historic landmarks, diverse communities, and modern amenities.
