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.


Block Management Reviews

"Great concierge staff! Always friendly and welcoming. Inside Building is always clean and tidy, lounge areas are great and comfy, there is always space. Building work going on around the outside of the building is an eye sore and very noisy during the morning till afternoon if you want your doors open for fresh air."

"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."

We work alongside those deploying capital: our VirginLand by Ringley identify sites, our capital markets team work on equity and debt, our Asset Managers act as Employer’s Agent during the build for Project Monitoring. Towards Practical Completion we will be preparing always to mobilse new assets, take plant handover, recruit great teams and lease up fast.
We work to enhance the value of our Client’s asset and demonstrate good governance. To us this means engaging with leaseholders, residents and other stakeholders to ensure they are engaged with the management of each development.
Our aim is to make Management Company Directors feel empowered: to us this means 100% transparency and advising them of the options available to support decision making. We know volunteer directors have a day job, so work to delivery what they need in a timely manner and guide them on the decisions we need.
Within The Ringley Group we have a range of professional practices to enable transactions: Land Find, Valuers, Surveyors, Engineers and of course Ringley Law.
We work closely with official receivers, asset owners, lenders and tax consultants to support property owners throughout each assets lifecycle.

History of Ware

Ware, Hertfordshire, is 21 miles to the north of central London. In the Domesday Book, published in 1086, during the period of William I, "The Conqueror", (r. 1066-1087), the town was recorded as Waras. This is derived from natural weirs in the River Lea. 
Ware has come a long way since the Middle Ages: at the end of the 19th century, malt making was established. In 1886, Dennis Wickham set up a bottling plant. The world-famous firm of D. Wickham & Co became manufacturers of railcars and construction equipment, and closed eventually in 1981. A new plant for pharmaceutical research and development was built in Park Road, during World War II. It was originally known as Allenburys, and merged with Glaxo in 1958. It is now part of GlaxoSmithKline. 
In 1956, the Ware Town Council coat of arms was issued by the College of Arms to Ware Urban District Council, and transferred to Ware Town Council in 1975. The arms originate from barge rudders, concerning the bargemen of Ware, with the red and white striping on the rudders being the livery colours of the City of London. This reflects the Ware bargemen's free entry rights to that City. The crossed coach horns refer to the town's long history as a coaching town. The sheaves of barley refer to the malting history of Ware.

Things to do in Ware

Scott's Grotto, 28/34 Scotts Road, Ware, Hertfordshire, SG12, is a Grade I listed building. It is a unique gem, a conservation preserved site, and is a magical place of rooms and tunnels, made out of shells, fossils, flint and coloured glass. The tunnels extend over 20 metres into the chalk hillside, and there are six chambers. The deepest chamber is 10 metres below the hilltop. Scott's Grotto was built in the 1760s by local poet John Scott, a "most active and public spirited man". In 1990, the grotto was restored, with an entrance porch added, and lighting of the main chamber was installed. Scott's Grotto is open only from April to October. It is the largest shell grotto in the United Kingdom.
