Ringley Announces Exciting New Partnership

Ringley is making headlines today with an exciting announcement—we are now working with the UK’s largest Right to Manage (RTM) company. This partnership means they will pay to use our cutting-edge operating systems as a franchisee client, marking a significant milestone for both companies.

Our In-House Operating Systems: A Proven Success

Over the years, we have designed and developed our own in-house operating systems, which we use to manage our extensive 12,000-home property portfolio. These systems have proven to be highly effective, and now, three RTM companies managing Century Wharf Estate in Cardiff will also benefit from our expertise.

Century Wharf Estate: A Landmark RTM Development

Century Wharf Estate is a major development consisting of 945 apartments and houses spread across 19 buildings. In 2014, leaseholders at the estate secured their Right to Manage under the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002. This empowered residents to take control of their building management, a move that Ringley strongly supports.

Why Right to Manage (RTM) Matters

RTM allows leaseholders to replace their managing agent or assume management responsibilities from the freeholder. It puts residents in control, enabling them to make decisions that best serve their community’s interests. Ringley is committed to helping leaseholders navigate this process and make the most of their RTM rights.

How to Qualify for Right to Manage

To qualify for RTM, certain legal criteria must be met:

• At least two-thirds of the flats in the block must be leased to qualifying tenants.
• The building must be a stand-alone structure or a self-contained part of a building with independent access and services.
• It must contain two or more flats, with leases originally granted for a term of more than 21 years.

Since some blocks have complex layouts and lease structures, determining eligibility can be tricky.
