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 housekeeper that looks after our block of flats at James Smith Court in Dartford is a credit to the company. He is always such a nice, polite and friendly man, always saying good morning to me and my son. He keeps the communal areas of our building very nice and clean and we never have any messes to worry about. Thanks to him for all his hard work!"

"Over the past 20 years, I've dealt with various managing agents, and my experiences, frankly, have not been great. If you’re lucky, you might get a response to an email or call within days—more often, it’s weeks. I’ve even had to resort to physically visiting offices to obtain documents because no one would reply. So, when Ringley took over the management of our block, my expectations were understandably low. However, I have to say they’ve completely redefined what I thought was possible in this industry. Typically, with services like Michelin-starred restaurants or five-star hotels, exceptional service is expected—it’s the baseline, and only subpar experiences get noticed. But when you expect very little, and then receive five-star service, it’s truly remarkable. I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one because Ringley’s team has been absolutely outstanding. I’d particularly like to mention our appointed relationship manager, legal advisor and onsite office manager, who have been nothing short of exceptional. Their efficiency, professionalism, and courteousness have been consistent throughout. As the saying goes, "one swallow does not a summer make," but when three individuals in a company deliver this level of service, it’s a clear reflection of the entire organisation’s values and culture. Thanks to Ringley, I no longer dread dealing with managing agents—I feel incredibly grateful to have them overseeing our development. If you’re looking for a managing agent that delivers true five-star service, Ringley is the gold standard."

"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 Marylebone
Marylebone, located just 1.1 miles west of Charing Cross in central London, has a rich history that dates back to Roman times. A Roman settlement was once in the area, with a culvert made of brick and stone discovered in 1894. The area has been historically divided into two sections: Old Bond Street to the south and New Bond Street to the north. Sir Thomas Bond, a developer in the 1720s, played a key role in shaping the area by developing the street and building on the fields surrounding Clarendon House. By the end of the 18th century, Marylebone became a popular socializing spot for wealthy residents, with exclusive shops and cultural establishments like the Fine Art Society (established in 1876) and the Grosvenor Gallery in nearby New Bond Street.
In the 17th century, Marylebone evolved into a fashionable residential area, with elegant Georgian townhouses and landmarks like Marylebone Gardens adding to its appeal. The arrival of the railway and the construction of Marylebone Station in the 19th century further increased its prominence. Today, Marylebone is a vibrant mix of historical charm and modern sophistication, with popular spots like Marylebone High Street offering boutique shops, fine dining, and cultural attractions.
