Beware of this company. I have been living in a development "managed" by Ringley for 6 years. I put it in quotation marks are we remain eager to see any kind of management. So far we have only seen shocking mismanagement, deceit, overcharging leaseholders, bullying, threatening and abuse. Serious and very concerning defects came to light years ago, including serious fire safety defects as well as risk of collapse of balcony structures. Both of which are immediate danger to life. Ringley had knowledge of these defects but did nothing to mitigate immediate danger to life for years. Mary-Anne Bowring and Lee Harle are both responsible as directors during the time of continued neglect. London Fire Brigade and the council had to intervene for them to start caring. Not about the safety and well-being of residents of course, but caring about converging their backs. They implemented a waking watch at extortionate costs and pushed all costs onto innocent residents as if they hadn't suffered enough. Thanks to Mary-Anne, now we live in unsafe buildings and get to pay insane amounts of money for this great pleasure. Mary-Anne Bowring also had the ingenious idea of "mitigating" unsafe balcony defects by sealing balcony doors shut. These are the only source of air in most of these flats but she was more than happy to suffocate people. This of course would not mitigate risk of collapse at all but instead it would be in direct violation of a great number of UK laws and Health and Safety regulations. Fire Safety Regulations clearly state that balcony doors must never be obstructed as these provide and escape route. Further risks are smoke accumulation, suffocation, overheating and thus making fire spread more rapidly, delayed smoke detection, delayed fire service access. It is also a major H&S risk due to inadequate ventilation (poor air quality, mould build up, build up of pollutants, etc... ). Shocking that I had to educate someone in the property business about building regulations and ask that they perhaps not violate fire safety regulations in a building that already struggles with fire safety defects. Mary-Anne's next wonderful idea was to rip balconies out and store them off site on our money. Sure, now that we understand that doors cannot be legally obstructed, why not remove the whole balcony so people can just fall straight out? Well done Mary-Anne, good thinking. The structure actually only requires a few simple fixes to be compliant. Not once did Mary-Anne consider maybe fixing the danger to life even though it would certainly be much cheaper than disassembling the structure and storing it long term. Noooo, why would she do that when she can just torture residents instead? Better to not mitigate danger to life and instead introduce further H&S violations. This woman lacks any common sense. Deliberately and systematically torturing leaseholders is a sport to her. This woman is a menace and a danger to society.

Dear Leaseholder, Thank you for being part of the Union Park community during what we know is a very difficult time. We also want to thank those who have paid all contributions to date, sadly many have not. Currently, 155 out of 253 leaseholders have not yet paid their contributions to the ManCo. Without these funds, the ManCo cannot continue to take the actions required to protect everyone’s interests. Independent experts have now confirmed serious defects in the buildings, despite Building Control having originally approved them. With the developer in administration and the freeholder’s position uncertain, responsibility has fallen on leaseholders to act together. LB Hillingdon initially promised to cover the waking watch costs, but has since said it intends to recover them through litigation. At the same time, the BLP Warranty provider is delaying claims, even though more than £15m of works are required. This has left Union Park homes currently unsellable, with owners facing enormous stress and uncertainty. The Residents Management Company “ManCo” exists solely to protect leaseholders’ interests—but it is funded only by service charges and members’ contributions. Thanks to the support of many leaseholders, the ManCo has already secured expert evidence, preserved BLP claims, and issued notice against the administrator. To keep moving forward, everyone’s support is needed. Unfortunately, some contributions remain unpaid. Without these funds, the ManCo cannot continue the progress that benefits all leaseholders. The next steps are to: • Push forward the BLP Warranty Claim, which offers the greatest chance of recovery. • Secure £1.1m from the administrator to create a fighting fund. Further claims, such as Remediation Orders, may follow in due course, but the warranty claim must come first. We would be happy to meet with you to discuss any concerns you may have. We’re also very interested in hearing from leaseholders about any ideas to help make the process of contributions quicker and smoother for everyone. Your input really makes a difference! For the leaseholders that are in arrears, please let us know when you are able to make your contribution, and if needed, we can help you approach your mortgage provider for support. Union Park can only move forward if we do so together, and your support is essential to achieving the outcomes we all need.
