Savings for Clients
Value for money - to us this means more than just competitive tendering. Adding value is about using expertise and creativity to save or to set a strategic path to deliver an outcome. This page is dedicated to Ringley hero’s who have saved their Clients' money.

Saved £9,576

Andersens Wharf
How did we do it?
The previous Agent set up the water wrong. The block had paid commercial water rates since 2004. We clawed back 6 years cash - £9,576 and reduced the VAT rate to residential. Naturally it took a fight with Thames Water and reference to the CCWater.

Saved £8,719

William Perkin Court/Farthing Ct
How did we do it?
Pipes sunk into concrete floors (no longer permitted by building regulations) left us with an expensive insurance claim. Expert negotiation achieved a committment by the insurer to replace a whole pipe run to reduce future risks of more of the same!

Saved £6,700

Kendal, Purfleet
How did we do it?
Since having captured critical details of every building age/construction date, size, type of windows and location we have been able to run some initial due diligence to see which blocks might be over or under insured. This block appeared a possible for over insurance, so we re-valued saving £6,700.

Saved £5,800

Barton Mill
How did we do it?
Saved £5,800 by instructing an expert to confirm that roof materials did not comply with building regulations. A risk that had to be taken after both Zurich and the developer said NO.

Saved £3,714

Northiam Mgmt
How did we do it?
We collected a premium for the intermediate landlord (our Client) of £3,714. The previous Agent was not collecting this. Good for the enfranchisee. Bad for our Client who ends up with a duty to pay more ground rent than they collect.

Saved £3,500

Limington court
How did we do it?
Defective lease drafting led to 7 Flats who were wrongly legally obliged to contribute to a lift when they lived in a block with no lift. Ringley took a lease variation case to the Tribunal using Section 37 of the 1987 Landlord & Tenant Act to get the leases varied.

Saved £3,274

Eldon Court
How did we do it?
Following our freehold purchase self managing was a struggle. We chose Ringley who set about analysing our completion statements and sorting out the remnants of no management. Ringley achieved a £3,274 saving on our insurance - that means we now have a competent agent for FREE.

Saved £1,760

Friars Close - (Griggs Place)
How did we do it?
Window cleaning was a significant budget cost at £800 per quarter. We re-tendered and achieved £360 per quarter and an annual saving of £1,760.

Saved £1,654

Vanbern House
How did we do it?
It took us 4 years to get 75% of owners signed up to a S37 application to vary the lease to get rid of a defective insurance clause. Now the block can buy 1 insurance policy, saving £1,654pa for ever. Previously there were 11 policies and lots of arguments.

Saved £1,614

Haverstock Hill
How did we do it?
Water ingress led the Basement Flat's floor to collapse. As the cause of the collapse could not be easily identifiable our client, agreed to investigate. An independent survey confirmed the Ringley surveyor's opinion that a drainage channel under the conservatory had caused water to enter the space under the floor. As the conservatory is not the responsibility of Management Company we saved our client and other Leaseholders £1,614 in professional fees.
