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.

"I had a fantastic experience with Ringley Limited Chartered Surveyors! The agent I worked with, was incredibly helpful and made the whole process of viewing and completing the rental documentation smooth and stress-free. Bob, who handles maintenance in the building, has been great and quick to address any issues. The entire team is professional, responsive, and efficient. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a hassle-free rental experience. Thanks, Ringley team!"

"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."

Maidstone Cultural Scene
Maidstone is the county town of Kent, boasting a vivid and eclectic cultural history that stretches back several hundred years. Here is a look at the same in detail:
Early History: Prehistoric and Roman Era: The area around Maidstone has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Evidence of some of the earlier settlement includes finds from the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. During the period of Roman rule, Maidstone was a defiant center for agriculture and river transport; this having been advantageously situated on the River Medway.
Medieval Period: Norman Conquest: After the Norman Conquest in 1066, the town of Maidstone began to grow as a market town. The Domesday Book documents Maidstone in 1086 as one of the big villages that speaks for itself about developed community life.
Archbishops of Canterbury: The town's growth was hugely underpinned and influenced by its strong connection to the Archbishops of Canterbury, who owned much of the land in and around Maidstone. The Archbishop's Palace is a major historical building from the 14th century relating to this period.
16th to 18th Century
Elizabethan Era: Maidstone was very strong during the Elizabethan era. Of greater building interest was the construction of All Saints Church in the 14th century, which is among the largest and historically most important parish churches in England.
Civil War: The town played its part in the English Civil War, and the Battle of Maidstone occurred in 1648. The Royalists lost the town to forces led by Sir Thomas Fairfax for the Parliamentarians.
Industrial Revolution
Agriculture and Industry: During the 18th and 19th centuries, with Agriculture, Brewing, and Papermaking as its mainstay, the economy had been made famous by its fine produce, particularly hops and fruit, with large acreages traded.
Transport: The coming of the railway in the mid-19th century gave added impetus to the growth of Maidstone, and it became one of the vital transport and commercial centers.
20th Century to Present
WWI and WWII: Maidstone, like many other towns in England, was caught in the vortex of both the World Wars. The town contributed substantially towards the war effort, and several memorials commemorate those who served.
Modern Development: In the post-war period, Maidstone underwent intensive modernization and expansion. New housing estates, shopping centres, and cultural facilities gave the town the image of a modern urban center.
Cultural Institutions and Landmarks
Maidstone Museum and Bentlif Art Gallery: Founded in 1858, it holds an extensive collection of fine art, archaeology, and natural history and is housed in a picturesque Elizabethan manor house.
Leeds Castle: So often described as the "loveliest castle in the world," Leeds Castle dates from the 12th century. It has served as a Norman stronghold, royal residence, and playground of the rich.
Archbishop's Palace: This old 14th-century building was originally the residence of the Archbishops of Canterbury. It fronts onto the River Medway and hence forms a prime part of Maidstone's heritage. Hazlitt Theatre: This theatre, named after the essayist William Hazlitt, who was born in Maidstone, is now one of the central places for performing arts in this town. It hosts a stream of productions ranging from drama to comedy.
Festivals and Events
Maidstone Fringe Festival: An annual event of live music, arts, and cultural performance across various the Maidstone venues.
Kent County Show: The annual event at the Kent Showground, near Maidstone, presents the very best in agriculture, produce, and craft from Kent.
Education and Learning
Historical Schools: Amongst others famous schools are the Maidstone Grammar School dating back to 1549.
Research and Archives: The Centre for Kentish Studies holds extensive archives and resources on the local history and genealogy of Maidstone and its surrounding areas. The cultural tapestry of the town is interwoven from its agricultural heritage, industrial growth, and historical battles that have been fought on Maidstone soil, hence diverse and rich in heritage and tradition.
Findings in the area suggest an occupation as early as the Neolithic period, and between then and now, many civilisations have left their mark in Maidstone. For instance the Romans have left their mark in the road through the town and evidence of villa, while today's suburb of Penenden Heath was a place of execution in medieval times.
