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
"Moving was as easy as it could be. We arrived late, but the lettings advisor was still on hand to hand them over. She also organised a second (same day) clean because we weren't satisfied with the clean that had already been done. This was a great help especially with us having a two year old."

"I live in a gated development managed by Ringley since October 2022. I'm very house proud and like to keep things clean, organised and well maintained. I found it very frustrating when I realised that the estate was not managed well. I exchanged many emails with the manager at the time, to try and sort it out, without much effect. In early 2024 a new manager took over responsibility for our development and things started getting better. She organised leaseholders meeting to understand issues which needed addressing. Our gate has been out of order for almost two years and she got onto finding a contractor who can sort it out. She changed the ineffective cleaning company to improve cleanliness of the estate. I had a problem with pigeons fouling on my bedroom window. Eventually the pigeons found a way to enter the boxed roof gables, and set up a nest in there, which caused even more of them to hang out on the roof and around my window. The noise and fouling was relentless. I could not open my bedroom window at all. I was liasing with the previous manager for over a year to resolve this issue with no real action being taken. She instructed a pest control company and later a roofing company to close off access to the roof area and keep pigeons out, as well as install pigeon proofing measures. I can't thank her enough for getting this resolved. It allows me to get fresh air into my bedroom and enjoy my property again. She was also on the ball when a waste stack got blocked and I had dirty water backing up to my flat. She got a plumber out to resolve the issue promptly. She is professional, efficient and gets the job done. We are fortunate she took over management of our development. Thank you."

"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."
