The Ringley Group
The logo of the Ringley Group represents a hybrid of the "homa bird" (the Persian symbol of fame and fortune) which dates back some 2,500 years and the former RICS lion. The mythical story behind the "homa bird" is that whomever alights will have fame and fortune. The re-brand, driven by the Chairman in 2002, combines the body of a lion, mane of a horse, eye of an eagle and ear of a deer; these represent courage, strength, vision and listening and underpins our core values.

RingleyEstateManagement.co.uk
At Ringley property management could not be more transparent. We are the only company that delivers arrears lists, expenditure lists, budgets and spending against them as well as lots of other interactive tools on line.
We have been providing an on-line client web area for each and every fully managed block since 2003 which primarily held minutes, service charge estimates, reserves plans and other critical look up information on-line for ease of access. This had always been complemented by quarterly reports to Clients and the Directors of Freehold or Management Companies.
In 2007 we totally opened up our Property Finance Team to meticulous scrunity and instant Directors reporting tools. All information is updated and only 24 hours behind our real-time systems, so if you want to know if we have got in Flat 5's arrears, whether the budget is on track, see the last 20 payments made or want to play with the rolling reserves plan its all there.
For Clients and leaseholders alike you can set up a direct debit on-line, get a statement of account and find out the procedures to sub-let your flat, make alterations or simply change your mailing address.
LeaseholdGuidance.com
The Leasehold Guidance Service was formed to give practical, commonsense advice to leaseholders contemplating lease extension, the right to manage (RTM) or buying the freehold of their property collectively with other leaseholders in the building.
Our ethos is to deliver an understanding of the procedures and parameters involved in the process without charge. On this website you can learn about lease extensions, right to manage applications and collective enfranchisement (buying your freehold) for FREE.
For right to manage and 'collective enfranchisement' we aim to give you the communication documents you will need to get other leaseholders involved in the process and to offer professional advice only when you require it.
The site is specifically designed to enable leaseholders to reduce the money they spend on professional advice by giving model questionnaires, newsletter templates, etc, that can be adapted to suit your purpose and put you in control of the necessary communication between you and your fellow leaseholders.
Leaseholder Support.co.uk
Understanding that small blocks need professional advice, packaged at a price that is perceived value for money would be a challenge, Ringley set about innovating a national solution. The Leaseholder Support.co.uk delivers small blocks property accounting systems and tools an employed property manager in the industry would use.
This provides them with solutions to over 100 of the most common problems and interactive features such as a service charge budget calculator and reserves fund estimator*, as well as numerous links and downloads.
Understanding that contact time was still key, the service includes the ability to book a Ringley specialist for a webcam/tele-conference.
Clever IT planning means that owners update their details on-line, certain data changes trigger guidance packs (sub-lettings, pre-sales, alterations) immediately, in response to identifying the reason for the change.
Each block's own web area also acts as a "safety deposit" for leases, insurance policies and service charge estimates, enabling residents to have a paperless office and bite sized retrievable information packaged topic by topic (management company, freehold ownership, directors register etc.). The wealth of information delivered includes 200 web links to trade sites the industry use, 100 facts sheets, 70 company secretarial tools (including pre drafted resolutions, meeting notices & minutes), and guides on the legislation that affects property, and step by step guides on lease extensions.
Throwing in a set of service charge accounts and access to competitive insurance rates means many clients save our fee by our effective on-line administration.
The items which can make property management unprofitable thereby pricing out small blocks i.e. arranging contractors, site visits, evening meetings and unlimited contact time are restricted. Advanced search technology behind the site delivers instant answers to most questions. You can find NO-WIN, NO-FEE litigation on service charge arrears as well.
