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
"I moved into a Ringley managed property recently and there have been a few small issues, with low heating temperature as the main one. The lettings advisor from Ringley took this issue very seriously and has been so helpful in resolving it in a timely fashion. There was no need to chase her given that she followed up with emails to check for updates. In the end 3 engineers were involved but The lettings advisor made sure the heating was fixed. Given the recent cold weather and my small children this exceptional service was appreciated. Thanks again Georgia!!"

"We recently had some plumbing work done which required the water being shut off for a short period on the whole of our floor in our apartment block. Our caretaker was extremely helpful, as always, coordinating the shut down with us and our plumber. It all went without a hitch and minimal disruption."

"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 Rayners Lane
Rayners Lane is situated north-west of London, in the borough of Harrow. It is 16.2 miles from the centre of London. It takes its name from a road in the area, also called Rayners Lane. In the Middle Ages, the Rayners Lane road was used for transporting grain to the mill on Pinner Green. The road was originally called Bourne Lane, and it crossed several streams, including the Yeading Brook.
In the early Victorian era, the district was held by the Rayner family, who owned a farm. At this time, the area remained a village, surrounded by fields.
In 1906, during the reign of Edward VII, (r. 1901-1910), the first station opened on the Metropolitan Railway, and the trains were steam locomotives. The station was originally called Rayners Lane Halt, after a local farmer. It was nicknamed "pneumonia junction", because of its exposed location, being entirely surrounded by farmland.
From 1910 to 1933, it was also served by the District Line. The station was rebuilt in 1938. The Underground station we know today, is on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly Lines. As its architecture is traditional to the period, it is a Grade II listed building, in the National Heritage List for England.
In the 1930s, there was rapid development of residential suburban buildings and amenities. The two companies Metropolitan County Estates and T.F. Nash and Co, initiated these building projects. T.F. Nash was Harrow's biggest interwar housebuilder. One notable example of his building, is a shopping parade on Alexandra Avenue. In 1935, the Grosvenor (later Odeon), Cinema was opened. It was designed by F.E. Bromige. It is considered one of London's finest suburban cinema buildings. Its art deco frontage is unusual: a striking representation of an elephant's trunk. The building is now a centre of worship for members of the Zoroastrian faith: one of the world's earliest, Iranian religions. It is the only official temple of its type in the UK.Although Rayners Lane is a relatively small area, the presence of the Underground station has contributed significantly to many surrounding retail outlets. A wide variety of shops, restaurants and businesses employ many local residents.
