Block Management Ruislip

Ruislip'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.

History of Ruislip

History of Ruislip

Ruislip’s history dates back to the Saxon period, with its name believed to be derived from the Old English words “rhyse,” meaning “rushes,” and “lip,” meaning “a pool or stream,” likely referring to the local wetlands and streams that once characterized the area. The village remained largely rural for centuries, with farming and agriculture forming the backbone of its economy. Ruislip’s position on the edge of the Colne Valley and its proximity to London made it a quiet, scenic spot for those seeking a rural retreat from the city.In the late 19th century, the arrival of the railway in 1904 connected Ruislip more directly to central London, sparking suburban development. The growth of London’s population and the expansion of housing in the 20th century turned Ruislip from a quiet village into a thriving suburban area. Throughout the 20th century, Ruislip continued to develop, with the construction of schools, local amenities, and large housing estates, making it a desirable area for families and commuters. Today, Ruislip, located within the London Borough of Hillingdon, is a vibrant suburban area known for its green spaces, including Ruislip Woods, and its good transport connections to central London. It offers a peaceful residential environment while being close enough to enjoy the amenities and opportunities of the city.

Ruislip, located in the London Borough of Hillingdon, has a rich history that stretches back to ancient times. The name Ruislip is believed to derive from Old English, meaning "Rohere's lip" or "Rohere's cliff," referring to a person named Rohere who lived by the area’s cliffs. Evidence of early settlements can be traced back to the Iron Age, and there is also evidence of Roman activity in the region, with the discovery of a Roman villa and other artifacts indicating that it was part of the wider Roman influence on Britain.During the medieval period, Ruislip was primarily an agricultural area. In the Domesday Book of 1086, Ruislip was recorded as a small village, primarily used for farming and boasting several mills, which were valuable assets at the time. The area was part of the manor of Hillingdon, and it was largely rural for many centuries. The development of Ruislip remained slow, with small-scale farming and local trade dominating the economy until the 19th century.
