Three cheers for Ringley's customer service stars

Ringley delighted to receive customer service stars

At Ringley, customer service is at the heart of everything we do. So we are proud that one of our Senior Relationship Managers, Karl Bradley, has been named a winner in the Property Hero Awards announced last week. And he’s not the only one. Handover and admin manager Natalie Birmingham also received a Highly Commended.

The awards were set up by insurance broker 1st Sure Flats, which specialises in residential blocks, to pay tribute to property managers who have gone above and beyond the call of duty to provide exceptional services to their clients and residents during the pandemic. Karl has certainly done that. He’s worked tirelessly to help his clients and resident directors deal with all the usual property issues as well tackling the many problems thrown up by EWS1 forms that continue to make many leaseholder’s lives a misery. During the last year while we’ve all been stuck at home, Karl found some imaginative ways to bring residents together and he even helped man the Ringley helpline over Christmas.

It’s hard work being a block manager – and you don’t always get the thanks you deserve. It is often really rewarding but it’s hard to always be the first port of call for everyone’s property problems, to just take it on the chin and keep smiling.

So it’s really good to see property managers being shown some appreciation in the form of these awards. They couldn’t have come at a better time!

Renting for life - what's the problem?
Letting Agent Today claims that a third of millennials will never own their own home. The report quotes new research from interiors firm Thomas Sanderson showing why the rental market is seeing such strong demand: it reveals that 28% of people under the age of 35 have no money set aside for a deposit on a house. Of the remaining 72%, the average amount people had saved was just over £6000 - that's under a fifth of the average deposit for a hou...

UK Renters Seek End to NopPts Policies with Access to More Pet Friendly Properties
Relinquishing a pet is a painful decision as cats and dogs are considered family members due to the emotional attachment. Because the cost of living continues to rise, many tenants find it hard to maintain their pets. This causes issues when a tenant has to downsize or vacate due to the increase in their rent. Therefore, tenants that struggle to find pet-friendly properties may be forced to give up on their pets.

Gas boiler ban: debunking the myths
In a major step in the direction of the UK’s ambition to become a net-zero emissions country by 2050, the government promulgated a ban on gas boilers in 2019. The idea is that homes emitting approximately 14% of all CO2 emissions in the UK is due to the fact that gas boilers are the top polluter. Initially meant for 2025, this ban has been moved to 2023, and this has led to a series of worries among homeowners and landlords as the deadline com...
