Block Management Wimbledon

Wimbledon'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."

Gill Hamilton 119 days ago

"We just sent a maintenance request. The team were very responsive and come to my flat. Problem fixed immediately. During his visit, I mentioned about a water leakage problem. He left and come very shortly with required tools. Again, problem fixed. All within an hour. Thank you Shane!"

Mai Mai LAI 118 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 Wimbledon

History of Wimbledon

Wimbledon’s history dates back to the 10th century, with the area originally being part of the Anglo-Saxon estate of the manor of Merton. The name "Wimbledon" is believed to come from the Old English "Wynnman’s hill" or "Wynnman's settlement," indicating its early settlement history. During the medieval period, Wimbledon remained largely rural, with farming as the primary activity. It wasn't until the 19th century that Wimbledon began to transform, thanks in part to the expansion of the railway system. The arrival of the train station in 1838 connected the area to central London, attracting wealthy Londoners looking for a peaceful suburban retreat, leading to rapid residential development.

By the late 19th century, Wimbledon had become synonymous with its world-famous tennis championship, held annually at the All England Club. The Wimbledon Tennis Championships, which began in 1877, helped establish the area as a cultural landmark. Throughout the 20th century, Wimbledon continued to grow and urbanize, with a mix of suburban homes, parks, and commercial areas. Today, Wimbledon is known not only for its rich history and prestigious tennis tournament but also for its beautiful green spaces, including Wimbledon Common, and its vibrant high street, making it a desirable and sought-after area to live, offering a blend of suburban tranquility and urban convenience.
