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 Kennington

First recorded as Chenintune in the Domesday Book, the name probably means "a man's farm called Cēna", but others suggest "the king's place".

In 1337, Kennington was given to Edward the Black Prince, where the royal palace was built. The palace has been around for a long time, but has since been owned by the eldest son of the King of England as part of the Duchy of Cornwall. From 1622, the Principality began renting out Kennington residents. And it motivated them to improve their property. The construction of Westminster Bridge in 1750 brought residential accessibility and early popularity.

Most of Kennington's modern layout was established in 1799, but the southwestern part, including the Kennington Oval, was developed soon after. By 1818 the current street style was fully established and the village was a semi-rural suburb with a large house with a four or five story porch.

Kennington Common was the setting for the exhibition and performance. On the gallows there is the Church of San Marco. In 1848 a large crowd gathered among the common people who intended to march into parliament to petition the Gartist. The demonstration was banned and the crowd was persuaded by Chartist leader Feargus O'Connor to break up peacefully.

What our CEO, Mary Anne Bowring, likes about Kennington

I love the easy access to bars, restaurants and nightclubs such as Mercarto Metropolitano, East Street Market, Borough Market and Flat Iron Square, and quick access to the city center.

Things to do in Kennington

So much on your doorstep in this part of town - you're close to food, drink, playgrounds and public areas within walking distance. Burgess Park, Walworth Garden, Pullens Garden and Tibetan Peace Garden offer a place to relax away from the hustle and bustle of London.

Kennington Cultural Scene

Kennington is fast becoming an exciting and prosperous London area, driven by a major revitalization of the region. Southwark Council's multi-billion dollar conversion plan will allow larger areas to significantly benefit from the new downtown area. The project includes a completely refurbished tube station, a new state-of-the-art campus at the University of London, new exhibition spaces and leisure facilities, new shops, cafes, restaurants and cinemas.
