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.

"Our housekeeper works diligently, always with a smile - greeting my family with genuine interactions. All we can do is provide our thanks to them for executing his job well, not cutting corners and ensuring a high quality of work is completed."

"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.."

"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."

Primrose Hill - Cultural Scene
Primrose Hill is situated inner north of London, in the borough of Camden. It is 3.6 miles from the centre of London. The area dates back to the Roman era: then it was submerged in dense, wolf-infested forests. During the reign of King William I, "The Conqueror", (r. 1066-1087), this was named the Forest of Middlesex. During the reign of King Henry III, (r. 1216-1272), the forest was no longer held by royal tenure. Over the years, the forest was gradually transformed into meadows and open fields, with narrow lanes and streams.
Primrose Hill was named during the Elizabethan period, because it referred to an abundance of spring flowers found on its slopes.
John Nash was an architect, and director of the Regent's Canal, which was built, and completed in 1820. Nash, as a friend, persuaded the Prince Regent, later King George IV, (r. 1820-1830), to agree to the name Regent's Canal. In 1837, the London and Birmingham Railway, curved north-east out of Euston, around Primrose Hill. So, the two routes - canal and railway - outlined what was to become the Primrose Hill Conservation Area. Primrose Hill was almost entirely open land, until it rapidly became a London suburb, in the early Victorian era, during the 1840s. Primrose Hill became Crown property once again, and was granted to the poor of north London, for outdoor recreation.
The area had been owned by Lord Southampton: in 1840, he parcelled up portions of his land for development, and the current street plan was designed. His masterplan featured grand detached and semi-detached villas with big gardens, laid out along sweeping streets. Only some of these spacious villas were accomplished; and London's rapid growth led to the building of terraces instead. By 1870, Primrose Hill was almost complete. The area attracted wealthy residents; however many of the mews set behind the streets housed artisan's workshops, and the area became a centre of piano manufacture.
The Primrose Hill area we know today, is a popular, pleasant part of London, and retains a good share of commercial activity. In 1971, it was established as a Conservation Area, and consists of 19th century listed houses, symmetrical terraces and large Italianate stuccoed villas. The Conservation Area features contrasting, high quality 20th century architecture; and these contemporary buildings have enhanced their older counterparts.
