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."

Caledonian Road is situated to the north of London, in the borough of Islington. It is 3.9 miles from central London. In 1826, during the reign of King George IV, (r. 1820-1830), a road was built from King's Cross to the Holloway Road. It was originally named Chalk Road, and ran through the Copenhagen Fields, for most of its length. In 1861, during the reign of Queen Victoria, (r. 1837-1901), it was renamed Caledonian Road. The name was derived from the Royal Caledonian Asylum, founded in 1815. This had moved to Copenhagen Fields in 1827. The asylum looked after children of soldiers, sailors and mariners, natives of Scotland, who had died or been disabled in the service to their country. It also cared for impoverished children of Scottish parents who lived in London, and were not entitled to limited relief. The building has since gone. However, its purpose now functions as a charitable trust.
In the 1850s, terraced houses were built in the area, for middle classes. These buildings soon declined, often with more than one family occupying each property. In 1842, the Pentonville Prison was built; and In 1892, Islington's first public baths were built.
During the reign of King Edward VII, (r. 1901-1910), Caledonian Road station was opened in 1906, by the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway. The Caledonian Road Underground station we know today, is on the Piccadilly Line.
After World War II, (1939-1945), further developments took place, for example, the construction of council flats. In the 1980s, more houses were built, mainly at the northern end of Caledonian Road. Currently, the area has a massive waste recycling centre; and there are many community organisations, including gay rights, counselling, pacifism, Tibetan Buddhism, and support for prisoners' families. There are many home improvement shops, for example, ironwork, glass, paint and second-hand furniture.
Caledonian Road is relatively affordable; and "the Cally" as it is locally known, remains a comparative rarity in today's London: primarily a close-knit, working class community. More than 70% of the Caledonian ward's residents live in rented accommodation, mostly council flats.
