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

"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."

History of Colchester

History of Colchester

The borough is one of the largest and very histroic towns located in Essex, even throughout the Middle ages , Colchester had become the first capital of Roman Britiain , therefore being the oldest recorded town in Britain. Colchester had been a very important and highly praised area for the Romans , in those times the borough was called Camulodunum  It was most likely the royal stronghold of the Trinovantes, on whose behalf Julius Caesar invaded in 55 and 54 BC. Then later on in the 11th century , Normans had founded Colchester and built a castle now a very popular place to visit , built on the foundations of the Temple of Claudius in 1079 , the castle has been used for many different purposes one of which is a prison in the 13th century !

Ringley are a specialist Property Management Company in London, and more specifically North London and the surrounding boroughs which is why we thought we would create this page to highlight why you should use a local property management company to Colchester.

What our CEO, Mary Anne Bowring, likes about Colchester

Yes I have been watching Colchester develop over the past few years and really is one borough oozing with potential. Did you know, Colchester was home to Britain’s only known Roman Chariot Racing Track that could seat 8,000 spectators?! The Roman Circus Centre explains the cultural and historical significance of this monumental structure which was only uncovered in 2005. The centre allows visitors to walk the outline of the circus site and examine the reconstructed stumps of the starting gates and central gateway. In the visitor centre, you can experience reconstructions of the circus through state of the art audio/video and see a model construction of the full circus to get a feel for the complete Roman chariot racing experience.

Colchester Cultural Scene

Colchester is one of the most important towns in the east of England when it comes to culture. It’s home to a world-class contemporary art gallery designed by one of the biggest names in architecture; a splendiferous Norman castle housing a sublime museum, an internationally renowned film extravaganza, and the largest medieval festival in Europe.

As far as Colchester's yearly schedule of social occasions, the Colchester Film Festival is among the most mainstream. It showcases global short movies including the absolute best producers from around the world. Every year it likewise has the 60 Hour Film Challenge, which is free for anybody to enter. It gives movie producers a title, a line, and a prop, which needs to include in their last film. Anything is possible for them with regards to the rest. 

Almost Festival is about cover craftsmen and accolade acts. Colchester, alongside Ipswich, Norwich, and Bury St. Edmunds, is one of the celebration's four areas. It's consistently an awesome few days of family fun, recognizable names, road food and streaming beverages.


Lastly the Colchester Food and Drink Festival is the largest of its kind in the region. For nearly 20 years it’s been taking over Colchester Castle Park with over 150 stalls packed with positively pukka street food and refreshing beverages. Considering it costs less than a fiver, it’s a fantastic festival where you can see celebrity chefs in the flesh, eat almost endlessly, and wash it down with some lovely live music from local bands.
