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 Maryland

Maryland is in Newham, east London, and is situated 7.6 miles from the centre of London. There is a confusion arising from the origins of the area's name. One theory suggests that it is derived from Old English words for a boundary, akin to the Anglo-Saxon words maere and mearc. Another theory is that Maryland's name comes from a rich local merchant, Richard Lee, (1617-1664), who bought land and built in the area, having returned from the American colony of Maryland. He was the great-great-grandfather of Confederate Robert E. Lee, (1807-1870), a confederate general, during the American civil war.
During the Medieval era, Maryland was rural, with only a few houses. However, a major change occurred in 1874, when Maryland Point railway was opened, on the Great Eastern Railway. In 1940, this was renamed Maryland. 
In recent years, private apartment blocks have been built near the station. However, despite the advent of the local Crossrail station and gentrification in the area, Maryland has significant levels of social need, with many people in a disadvantaged situation.
 

Most prestigious roads in Maryland

Prime Location have on offer Church Street, London, E15. This stunning new development consists of 9 units, all available under the Help to Buy Scheme. The average for a 2 bedroom flat here, is £440,000.

Church Street is just off Plaistow Road, and the nearest station is Abbey Road, Docklands Light Railway, which is just under 5 minutes walk away. Plaistow Underground station is around 10 minutes walk away.
 

Best places to eat out in Maryland

Bairstow Eves have on offer Granite Apartments, 39 Windmill Lane, London, E15. This is a popular development, where the average starting rice is £390,000 upwards, for a 3 bedroom apartment. 
The apartments all have an entrance hall with storage cupboards, and 3 generous bedrooms. The bathroom offers a bath with fitted overhead shower, and there is a spacious open plan living area, with fitted kitchen and breakfast bar. With a communal garden area, this is an ideal purchase for a first time buyer, and investors alike.

What our CEO, Mary Anne Bowring, likes about Maryland

I had a great walk, starting at Channelsea, and finishing at Hackney Wick. It took a long time. However, I was pleased I had walked a total 10 miles, for most of the day. I saw some great sights on the way, including canals and rivers. 
 

Things to do in Maryland

Channelsea is a walk that can be made, from Abbey Road, Docklands Light Railway station, to Hackney Wick, London Overground station. If you're a keen walker this is ideal. The total distance is 10 miles, and time taken is 7 hours, at the most. The walk has four sections: (1) Along Channelsea to the River Lee at Three Mills Island (0.5 miles), (2) By Bow Creek to the Thames (2 miles), (3) Round the Isle of Dogs to Limehouse Basin (4.5 miles), (4) Up Regents Canal to Victoria Park, and on to Hackney Wick (3 miles).
