Block Management Reviews
"Our property manager, Natalie Birmingham has made our experience with Ringley extremely positive, having moved some of the management of our commercial property over to Ringley.
Natalie's professionalism, promptness, and dedication to exceeding expectations has left a lasting impression. She responds promptly to any queries or comments that we have and what sets Natalie apart is her commitment to going above and beyond. "

"Ringley have been supporting a number of leaseholders as managing agent - including myself - through a large insurance claim. It’s not an easy job managing 40+ different competing interests and I commend them for handling such a tricky situation. Dominic and Kate have been been responsive, informative and have advocated my needs and interests to all third party stakeholders. The claim will take a significant amount of time to resolve but had it not of been for Ringley I do not think we would have made any progress at all. I strongly recommend them."

"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."

Cockfosters is situated to the north of London, and is located in both boroughs of Enfield and Barnet. It is 9.8 miles from the centre of London. First evidence of the local name dates back to 1524. It is thought to be either the name of a family, or that of an estate granted to the cock (chief) forester of Enfield Chase.
In 1777, Enfield Chase was enclosed. Shortly afterwards, King George III, (r. 1760-1820), gave society doctor Richard Jebb three plots of former Chase land. This was a gift, as a reward for saving the life of the King's younger brother, the then Duke of Gloucester. Jebb built a house that he named Trent Place, after Trento, in the Tyrol region of the Italian Alps. Here, he had cured the Duke of Gloucester of a serious illness. The house was enlarged by successive owners, and was later known as Trent Park.
From the end of the 18th century onwards, Cockfosters became a village; and at this time it served the interests of Trent Park. Cockfosters was situated near the estate's main gate. In 1798, the Cock Inn opened.
During the late 1830s, further buildings at Cockfosters village included Christ Church, and the Trent Church of England school. Robert Cooper Lee Bevan, a banker who lived at Trent Park, funded these buildings. In the 1850s, more schools were built.
In 1908, during the reign of King Edward VII, (r. 1901-1910), the Trent Park estate was acquired by Sir Edward Sassoon. Four years later, it was inherited by his son Sir Philip Sassoon.
In 1933, during the reign of King George V, (r. 1910-1936), Cockfosters Underground station opened, as the terminus of the Piccadilly Line. New streets were laid out, and a shopping parade was built near the station. The Cock Inn was rebuilt.
In 1939, Philip Sassoon died, and subsequently the estate was taken over by the government, during World War II, (1939-1945). The house became a special prisoner-of-war camp, for high-ranking German and Italian officers. It was wired with bugging devices, to help extract vital information from them, without their knowledge.
After the war, housebuilding was constrained by the new green-belt regulations. There was no suburban expansion north of the station. To the west, Barnet council built an estate of 419 new homes; and builders continued to develop most remaining gaps, during the 1950s. More recently, blocks with balconied apartments have been built. Cockfosters remains to this day, a pleasant, quiet and well-to-do London suburb.

With my friend, I visited Trent Country Park. We enjoyed a picnic, and then had a lovely walk through pleasant woodland. It's a good thing we brought our binoculars: we saw some lovely species of birds on the lakes and ponds.
Trent Country Park has 413 acres of meadows, brooks, lakes, ancient woodland and historical sites. As part of London's Green Belt, the park benefits wildlife, such as grazing cattle in the farmland; muntjac deer, rabbits, pheasants, partridges, great crested grebe, kingfisher, hobby, treecreeper, nuthatch, great spotted woodpecker, robin and sparrow. These can be found in the diverse woodlands. Flowers include primroses, daffodils, bluebells, cyclamins, violets, holly, rambles and snowdrops. There are two large lakes, and a number of small ponds, which are ideal for geese, swans, mallard ducks and mandarin ducks. Camlet Moat is an Ancient Monument, dating from the 1320s. It survives as a water filled earthwork. Visitors to the park can enjoy large open spaces for walking, jogging, cycling, horse riding, golfing or just relaxing in the beautiful surroundings.
