Block Management Northfield

Northfield'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

"Having over the years dealt with some very poor property managers I am delighted to say that this does NOT apply to Ringley and in particular to our appointed Relationship Manager. He has always responded to our requests very professionally and promptly and has been a delight to deal with."

"Top service from all of the staff - special thanks to the maintenance team for being so much help and the concierge for their service every day"

Darragh Foy 107 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 Northfield

Northfield is a historic town located in the southeastern part of Minnesota, United States. European settlers founded Northfield in 1855, and they were Scandinavian immigrants in particular. The town was quickly developed due to its strategic location on the Cannon River, providing water power as well as transportation access. It became a vital trade center and agriculture hub for the whole area. The town is perhaps most famous for the dramatic 1876 would-be bank robbery by the James-Younger gang, which was thwarted in a deadly shootout. Citizens of Northfield heroically halted the robbery, and it became a turning point in the town's history ever since. It is commemorated every year with the "Defeat of Jesse James Days," a festival celebrating the town's strength and rich heritage.

Northfield's growth continued in the 20th century with the founding of colleges, such as Carleton College, founded in 1866, and St. Olaf College, founded in 1874. The colleges helped make the town a center for learning and culture. Northfield's economy was diversified over the decades, moving from agriculture to manufacturing, and then to a center for technology and small businesses. Northfield today remains a successful community that holds on to its past and faces the future. Its cultural festivals, historical structures, and educational institutions continue to attract visitors and residents alike to the town.
