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.

"The Relationship Manager has been amazing at dealing with the issues we’ve been facing within our property. Unfortunately for him, there were existing issues that were not dealt with by the previous management company (which Ringley took over in April/May). However, despite being new to Ringley, he has quickly picked up these issues (including some large & complicated ones) & has been fantastic at ensuring things are being chased and also keeping us updated, which is always positive reassurance. I cannot recommend the Relationship Manager enough. He is an asset to Ringley and to us as our Relationship Manager"

"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."

More History

Unbelievably and at the time of the Domesday Book, two Manors called Hame were recorded.

The earliest recorded term West Ham, Westhamma was in 1186, and East Ham, Estham, is recorded in 1204. North Woolwich was removed from Ham at an even earlier date, in the cinders of the Norman Conquest would you believe.
