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.

We could honestly write a book about what a terrible management company this is. The way Ringley is run is appalling, gross mismanagement of funds and zero accountability. They use every coercion tactic imaginable to make paying leaseholders’ lives miserable, including actions that directly impact vulnerable residents. They have never had leaseholders’ best interests at heart. If you are unlucky enough to have them as your managing agent, you’ll need all the luck you can get. Edit after Ringley's response: Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, it does. The first time leaseholders are hearing about the service charge budget would exceed £2m wasn’t in a meeting or official letter - it was in this Trustpilot reply. That alone shows the lack of transparency and professionalism by the managing agent. Ringley claim leaseholders are “disunited.” In reality, residents have united, taken action, and forced movement on fire safety and defects. Progress has only come because leaseholders, backed by pressure from authorities, pushed it through. Meanwhile, Ringley have chosen to side with a freeholder who has a documented history of fire safety breaches and leaseholder disputes. Where do their loyalties lie: with the residents they’re meant to serve, or with a freeholder with this track record? When there was finally a glimmer of positive news that Ringley would support a Remediation Contribution Order (RCO) — which leaseholders agreed to back in good faith, even though these weren’t costs we should ever have to cover, with the hope of recovering them later, they suddenly made a complete U-turn. Overnight, they shifted back to supporting the freeholder in pursuing a warranty claim that has already failed once before. How can continue to support them? They also were aware about serious structural and fire safety defects for YEARS, issues posing direct danger to life, but failed to act, failed to use protections under the Building Safety Act 2022, and instead pressured leaseholders to pay costs that are clearly unlawful. Only now, with government scrutiny and legal consequences looming, have they started to act, still seeking to pass costs back to residents despite statutory protections and clear government guidance (including from the council and MHCLG) confirming otherwise. After years of incompetence and gross mismanagement of leaseholder funds, it is undeniable: defects ignored until litigation, budgets hidden until the last minute, and a managing agent that consistently puts residents last.

At Union Park, Ringley has managed and arranged that which the ManCo (as its Client) has been able to fund. Understandably with over £15m defects (heating, roofs, balconies, fire issues) and the developer in administration, leaseholders angry with their blighted properties worth £0 have been unwilling to fund their ManCo and so their ManCo has no money to invest in multiple legal actions that are necessary. Ringley narrowly achieved a 51% vote and collected c£300k in member’s contributions and has obtained the expert evidence necessary to take forward new build warranty claims, administrator claims and a Remediation Contribution Order claim also. Sadly, not one leaseholder, nor LB Hillingdon, nor Homegroup have been willing to stand as director of the ManCo. And last week the committee leading the ManCo also became divided and leaseholders at large objected to paying into the budget set to pave a pathway for stage 2 (to use the expert evidence in litigation, and to deal with getting rid of the waking watch and obtaining MCHLG money towards an fire alarm). MCHLG have spent the last 3 weeks asking the ManCo questions and delaying processing the waking watch relief fund application it appears worried about the solvency of the ManCo. Friday Ringley managed to get the Freeholder to stand as a director of the ManCo and today this has satisfied MCHLG who have said they will now release the waking watch relief fund money so the alarm installation (already started on Homegroup blocks) can continue. The Freeholder has decided to massively increase the 30.9.2026 budget further beyond the £2m the committee set. Given the Freeholder does not have to try to satisfy disunited groups of leaseholders, whilst harsh, we expect that the Freeholder will use the evidence procured, and specifications/ tendering of the roofs, balconies and replacement heating system that are all in play. And, hopefully in a few years’ time the value of properties at Union Park will be restored.

This building management company is completely unhelpful and awful. They never answer emails and have been increasing service charges for the past two years due to poor maintenance and faulty contractors. They communicate poorly with leaseholders, sending new bills and demanding payments, but hardly ever answering emails. The building manager associates with my building is extremely rude and unhelpful, hardly ever responding to emails. I’m honestly shocked!

Despite paying hundreds of pounds each month in service charges, the standard of management from Ringley was utterly unacceptable. For years, the building was left in a disgraceful state of neglect. The bin store was so poorly maintained that mice were frequently seen scurrying around — so bad, in fact, that leaseholders had to take matters into their own hands and purchase professional cleaning tools just to make the area usable. The neglect didn't stop there: the bike shed and windows remained broken for months on end with no action taken. The roof garden was completely inaccessible due to a buildup of bird droppings, and general cleaning across the building was virtually non-existent. Furthermore, a major leak on Floor 1 and in the garage went unresolved for over two months, causing extensive damage to the walls. Thankfully, after a change in landlord, Ringley were finally removed and replaced by a new property management company. Ringley’s management of the property was nothing short of a disgrace, and I would strongly advise others to avoid them at all costs.

Prior to the end of our management period, your Relationship Manager held a meeting with residents to explain the financial position and the limitations around day-to-day management. As you're aware, the only available funds for managing the development come from Service Charges. Unfortunately, your development was transferred to Ringley with a ‘sales’ budget rather than a properly structured operational budget, which significantly limited available resources. Additionally, there were unpaid voids for vacant units left by the developer, which were only settled when the freehold was sold. These financial constraints meant that Ringley had to operate on a very restricted budget from the outset. We fully acknowledge the concerns raised and appreciate that these issues are not the fault of the owners or residents. However, with such limited funding, we were required to prioritise statutory compliance over other works. We hope that your new Freeholder will provide their managing agents with the appropriate funding needed to carry out the necessary remedial works and address the outstanding issues.

Worst management agency I have ever encountered. No communication, issues or faults with the apartment complex they ‘manage’ do not get fixed. Emails and phone calls go unanswered. Unpleasant experience dealing with this agency and they are very unprofessional. Stay away from them.

Negligent. Have not fixed the main property gate and are responsible for several trespassers coming onto the property. AVOID. Will be reporting them to The Property Ombudsman.
