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 to do what we do well as well as sufficient resource to react to whatever is necessary day-to-day.

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’ to embody our values which are to build relationships, add value, and to take the initiative. 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 ’.

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

"The cleaner who cleans the facilities is amazing! Kind, friendly and good at her job! I’ve lived in the Duchess for 4 years and she always has a smile on her face and helps where she can!"

Chris Breistein 185 days ago

"Our previous Factors were frankly useless and borderline criminal. Since switching to Ringley, our development has improved vastly and they even reduced the costs after reviewing the books. The difference and improvements in site and services has been night and day. My correspondence with them has always been positive and pleasant and I'd like to give a special shout out to the legal officer at Ringley Law for going above and beyond when we urgently needed specific documents for our solicitor. She really helped us out. I highly recommend Ringley."

Jeffrey Read 32 days ago

"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 Ladwell

Ladwell is a small, historically rich village located in the county of Oxfordshire, England. The village has its origins dating back to medieval times, with its name derived from the Old English words "ladd" (a stream or brook) and "wella" (a spring or well), referring to the natural water sources in the area. Originally part of the larger parish of Charlbury, Ladwell developed as an agricultural community. Over the centuries, it maintained a quiet, rural character, with its population gradually growing due to its proximity to both the Cotswolds and the thriving town of Oxford.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Ladwell saw gradual changes as transport links improved, and the Industrial Revolution reached even the more remote areas. The construction of nearby roads and railways made the area more accessible, leading to a slight increase in population and an influx of workers for local farms and mills. Despite these changes, Ladwell preserved much of its rural charm, with many of its historic buildings still standing. Today, it remains a picturesque village, offering a glimpse into England’s rural past while being within reach of modern amenities and cities.
