		<description><![CDATA[We were shown the house by an agent from Spencers in Woodford Green who didn't even take us to the garden. The house was still undergoing major works but assured it would be ready by moving in day (in 5 days time). When we moved in the carpet was replaced with a cheap, brownish thin one with paint drippings all over, leaving a gap between floors and walls of about 2cm, which means chilly drafts in winter and creepy crawlies in summer, in places you could actually see outside!!! One of the bedroom has rising damp throughout the winter forcing us  (3 of us!) to sleep in only one bedroom! Of course Freshwater was notified but with the excuse that the person managing the house retired, all was forgotten! We asked to replace the bathroom taps that don't work, after 10 months we are still waiting! In the garden (if we may call it so) the sewage wall will overflow with heavy rain and all the lovely stuff spreads onto the lawn! Lovely! The wallpaper looks like is being applied by an 8 year old and painted by nursery children. We were told the house was previously occupied by an old couple living there (and renting!!!!) for 60 years! When we asked the neighbours they told us that the previous tenant was at house arrests, social assistants visiting during the day, drug dealers at night, found also a BULLET under the carpet!!!! The house previously was used as an office, that explain the poor kitchen appliances and furniture! And the flooring in the kitchen is a major hazard, with holes where we stumble all the time! Definitely not suitable for young children. Definitely not suitable for ANYONE! Totally unsafe property run by totally uninterested people! AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Our block was managed by Freshwater from the 1960s onwards. The block was left in an awful state of disrepair until around 2001 (just after I bought my flat) and they started to do remedial works for which they overspecified, overcharged, wangled contracts with their usual list of 3 preferred suppliers, and generally drove us mad. 
I extended my lease in 2005 and they were very aggressive, forcing me to nearly go to the LVT to get them to admit to anything like a reasonable price, when most landlords would have made a reasonable settlement.
We have just taken over the management and they were highly obstructive with providing necessary information for the transfer. Have nothing, nothing, nothing to do with them.<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[We moved in their property 9 months ago. There has been a water leak since. We have informed them in writing on several ocassions but there has been no movement. Few days ago there was a heavy water leak from the above flat. We were covering our stock when a big portion of ceiling collapsed on a staff member. He was taken to hospital but HEIGHT OF NEGLIGENCE that no one from that company rang us to show their concerns. Everyone says to sue this company, after reading everyones reviews I dont think we can ever win.. Dont know what to do as 80% of our stock got ruined.<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Freshwater consistently invoice for non existent services. They say work is done when it is not. They charge extortionate prices for work that is carried out. They never respond to letters/ phone calls / emails. 
It is impossible to resolve queries, dispute charges or discuss bad workmanship with them as they just ignore you. 
Most people unfortunate enough to own a leasehold property with Freshwater have been ripped off for years.
A group of us are currently trying to generate media interest, as to thoroughly investigate this dubious company. I advise anyone in dispute with them to put everything in writing and keep it, as their day in the media spotlight will surely come!<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Absolutely agree with all the comments on here... but don't know how to do anything/who to speak to about what rights we have. We really don't want to manage the property ourselves, just have a basic level of ok service for a fair price. I am trying to stick the forum rules, but they are utterly appalling.

We've tried to be patient and open with them, but it doesn't seem to work.
Maybe as a group we could get somewhere?<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

Dont do anything about anything - they take your money for service charges and when you have something to report they sit back on it and you have to constantly chase them. No one takes any responsibilty for anything and just keep fogging you off with excuses and blaming the owners as if everything is there fault!
Block of 12 flats - had £80,000 wrth of work done to the building - company that did it did worst then good for most of the work! Just slapped a bit of paint on and ended up blocking my boiler pipe so boiler stopped working, when they were quried about it, they said not us! Incredibe!

		<description><![CDATA[After years of frustration about their poor service and excessive charges we jointly with all other leaseholders exercised our Right To Manage. However, 8 months after transferring the management to a new agent,  we are still battling to get a response from Freshwater to transfer monies being held by them belonging to the leaseholders.  They ignore  correspondence from our solicitor and continue to send demands for maintenance charges they are no longer responsible for.

		<description><![CDATA[I have a long lease where they are freeholders. Over the years some works were carried out to the block, which were usually very badly executed and some even appeared completely unnecessary.  However, the block fell into disrepair and eventually major works were carried out, which no-one disputed were required but the quality of the work was terrible.  We did not pay the service charges and so they took us to the LVT.  We had very little funds to defend ourselves properly whereas they got the best surveyors and lawyers money could buy and they knew every trick in the book, serving late documents, etc. Consequently, we gained very little at the LVT, and we were very disappointed in their surprising decision, especially given the quality of the works carried out. 'Ditchwater' were given the choice to put some works right or give us a reduction. They choose the small reduction leaving the works still to be put right, i.e. the cheaper option. We feel that we have been 'cheated' through legal tricks and our rights ignored. Anyone who wishing to view the works are welcome. The costs of the work were over £30,000 per flat (18 flats)!<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

We moved into the flat on Lady Margaret Road, and the next day we found the flat is infested with Mice problem which they didn't disclose when giving us the property, the sink was blocked and when we reported them 3 days after we moved in they are blaming us that we are responsible, they charged us for two people as a couple, but only got one set of keys, and they are pushing us to go and get the key cut ourselves for the 2nd set, carpet was new but dirty (may be no one has used in a LONG time). 

On top, there are operating clampers &quot;Park Direct&quot; who clamp your car even if you are sitting in the car and charge you £450. Thank God it didn't happen to me but a neighbour who was moving in, and got a clamp on his hired van. Mr. Clampers are just clamping and earning money, the parking area is extremely dirty and no one wants to take responsibility of the rubbish tenants, landlords, shopkeppers, dump where we park our cars and I have noticed some scratches on my car because people just dump things  around my car.... f**kers!!! who dump there

Strongly suggest people to stay away from Freshwater and Emeraldpropertyservice

Our experience of this company has been extremely negative and I will never again move to a flat in a building managed by them.  They respond to genuine problems (leaking pipes that cause damage internally to flats, for example) painfully slowly, and charge huge sums of money for questionable 'necessary works'.

		<description><![CDATA[We are a block of flats in Penge trying to acquire the freehold from daejan. Extension of the lease is apart from very difficult with these cowboys is also too expensive. If you buy freehold it will be very much cheaper than buying an extension. And as only 2 flats much easier. You also rid yourself of a parasite that will always be demanding excessive and unnecessary improvements. If ground floor has already bought an extension cost of their freehold share will be very minimal and the value worked out only on loss of ground rent. Get a surveyor and a lawyer to work out price and costs and serve a notice to buy. It will be worth it and add value to your property.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Fellow Freshwater haters (I note there seem to be no Freshwater lovers, which is completely understandable)

I own a property in North London where unfortunately Freshwater aka Daejan aka Highdorn are the Freeholder. This ramshackle company know no bounds to their complete lack of professionalism, or contravention of their obligations under the lease. They neither maintain, or manage their properties to any standard whatsoever. It has been years since my building was last spruced up by all acounts and it really shows. They leave dangerous wiring exposed, leave large falls into basement stairwells unguarded, do not replace light bulbs, do not irradicate vermin, etc, etc. The list goes on.

Myself and some of the other owners in this block are in the process of trying to obtain the right to manage the property, which will remove Freshwater from all dealings, and allow us to manage and maintain the property ourselves. I also hope that it will allow us to source and pay for our own buildings insurance as we are clearly getting fleeced on this issue as another person has written. The longterm view once we acquire RTM is to ultimately buy the freehold and get rid of Freshwater altogether. 

For any prospective tenants, leaseholders, landlords etc looking at a property where Freshwater or any other the associated companies is involved, I would seriously recommend that you don't go there. These people are a bunch of crooks and thieves.<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Freshwater are the rudest, most unprofessional agent I have ever come across. they are unresponsive to any problems, such as plumbing, repair work or other 'services' we pay them for and on top of it, the service charges have sly rocketed since I moved into my property 3 years ago. I was warned by my solicitors that they have a bd reputation, but didn't listen - I wish I had!<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[Freshwater are racist, have taken no action against a resident who has committed race hate crimes, and victimise the complaints instead. Even the police and MP acknowledge this problem.

They also discriminate against the disabled by not allowing vehicles to park outside their flats to pick up people with mobility problems.<br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item><item>

		<description><![CDATA[I am a property owner/leaseholder/tenant in a large 18 story high rise managed  by Freshwater. Building exterior and interior common parts not painted or repaired for over 25 years. Single pane windows no insulation and  Service charges skyrocketing year on year. Freshwater office staff rude on telephone. I feel sorry for the older, long time residents in this building - many are unable to pay the huge increases in service charges. When, as a new owner,  you ring the office, identify yourself  and ask what the service charges were for the previous year you are told 
" your solicitor can find that out, I can't tell you". Professional-NO. Apparently Freshwater, who are a subsidiary of Metropolitan think they are running a rental building and we leaseholders should keep quiet and put up with any poor level of service and keep on paying whatever they decide to charge- with no accountability needed. <br />This person would not use Freshwater Property Management again.]]></description></item>
