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

"Our property manager, Natalie Birmingham has made our experience with Ringley extremely positive, having moved some of the management of our commercial property over to Ringley.
Natalie's professionalism, promptness, and dedication to exceeding expectations has left a lasting impression. She responds promptly to any queries or comments that we have and what sets Natalie apart is her commitment to going above and beyond. "

"Ringley have been supporting a number of leaseholders as managing agent - including myself - through a large insurance claim. It’s not an easy job managing 40+ different competing interests and I commend them for handling such a tricky situation. Dominic and Kate have been been responsive, informative and have advocated my needs and interests to all third party stakeholders. The claim will take a significant amount of time to resolve but had it not of been for Ringley I do not think we would have made any progress at all. I strongly recommend them."

"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 Wokingham

Wokingham is actually located in Berkshire, England, not London. It's a historic market town and civil parish in the county of Berkshire, situated about 33 miles west of London. Here’s an overview of the history of Wokingham:

 

Early Settlement: Wokingham has ancient origins dating back to Saxon times. It was originally known as ‘Oakingham’, which means ‘Wocca's people's home’. The town was likely established around a market that was held there.

 

Royal Charter: Wokingham was granted its first royal charter by Henry III in 1219, allowing it to hold markets and fairs. This boosted the town's economy and established it as a market town in the region.

 

Market Town: Throughout its history, Wokingham flourished as a market town due to its strategic location on the trade routes between London and the southwest of England. The market was a hub for trade and commerce.

Transport Links: The arrival of the railway in Wokingham in the 19th century further enhanced its connectivity and contributed to its growth. The railway made it easier for residents to travel to nearby towns and cities.

 

Modern Development: In the 20th and 21st centuries, Wokingham has seen significant development and expansion, with new housing estates, shopping centers, and amenities being built to accommodate its growing population.

 

Community and Culture: Wokingham has a strong community spirit and hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, including the Wokingham May Fayre and the Wokingham Festival. These events celebrate local culture and bring residents together.
