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

"It's a really nice apartment, even the public areas like lifts and atrium are well managed. The lettings advisor and all the other staff has been very helpful and made our move-in process really smooth."

"Ringley is one of a kind. Every detail, pictures and videos displayed about their apartments are all 100% accurate. They took care of every single detail of my rented apartment so I could have a wonderful living experience. The lettings advisor that handled my move in process and queries was amazing…. Even when I thought I was becoming unbearable with my demands. Ringley having her in their team is a huge plus."

"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 Southgate

Southgate was originally a hamlet, first mentioned in 1370. The gate stood near what is now Southgate tube station, in north London. Perhaps surprisingly, the original layout established in the 14th century, no longer exists. It must have been a small settlement, because there was no medieval church or civil administration. Southgate village originally formed part of Edmonton parish and hundred. 
Wealthy Londoners settled in Southgate in the 18th century, replacing woodland with mansions, set in landscaped parkland, surrounded by farms. 
A fine group of Georgian houses for the well-to-do, developed around the Green. By the end of the 18th century, the village had occupied most of the High Street. Several landowners had relatively small holdings, each developing their own plots, to their own specification. A pleasant terrace close to the Green was built by Michael Searles, whose work is also admired in Blackheath and Walworth.
