Proven in practice: Wimbledon Stadia

As part of a major 51,000 sqm mixed-use regeneration scheme, the three RTM companies we act for comprise 478 apartments alongside a new 9,300-seat stadium. The development features a 24-hour concierge, an estate manager, 13 staff, an on-site gym, podium gardens and 13 budget schedules with a £1,792,828 service charge.

Ringley supported Wimbledon Stadia through the RTM acquisition process itself, guiding the directors through the legal and procedural requirements and helping ensure a successful acquisition of the Right to Manage and transfer of management responsibili-ties. Taking over such a large and complex development (with multiple buildings, shared ownership arrangements, Building Safety Act obligations and a substantial backlog of repairs) was never going to be straightforward. It required patience and collaboration from all parties.

Throughout, Ringley maintained regular engagement with the RTM directors through weekly handover meetings and open communication, ensuring a smooth transition and a shared focus on improving the estate.

Challenging the status quo

“What impressed us from the outset was Ringley’s willingness to challenge existing arrangements rather than simply inherit them.”

Sebastian Budner, Director, Wimbledon Stadia RTM Companies

Working closely with the RTM directors, we identified duplication across maintenance contracts, removed unnecessary agree-ments, moved certain services to more cost-effective reactive arrangements where appropriate, and secured better value for owners without compromising service standards. Nothing was accepted simply because it had always been done that way.

The biggest success has been the collaborative approach to building an in-house staffing model. Together, we brought cleaning, maintenance and grounds services in-house, with staff dedicated to serving the development and able to respond quickly to issues that previously required expensive external contractors. This improved responsiveness across the estate, enabled many routine repairs to be undertaken internally, and gave residents a visible on-site team that takes pride in the development. Ringley was also open to ideas from the directors, including, in a first for Ringley, bringing gardening in-house.
