I would have thought about average although they need to be monitored as they tend to apply above inflation price increases each year.

There has been a flurry of positive reviews for this agent, after a steady succession of negatives. It is perfectly possible for the Company to have got their act together & cleaned up their performance, however in my experience, our site suffered abysmal management for some 10 years from HLM. ...

Our management company moved to HLM several years ago and I have found them to be much improved over the previous agents, for a lower management fee. Having seen some of the below comments, from my experience charges only go up 'excessively' when owners have insisted on keeping their service ... Read Full Review

22 Nov 2016It looks like your development is around 9 houses, with a joint private road and some communal landscape areas. Therefore, your S/C should be fairly nominal. Is Walton Homes still the Freeholder?...

My review is basically echoing what others posted already: 1. poor management 2. poor communication 3. lots of promises but hot air and never done.

Stick to the rules: i.e. if you state fortnightly then provide the service fortnightly, same for service that are told we have to do ourselves we should not be charged for. When agreeing to hold regular meetings then do so. but to be honest, a company that is outsourcing every service including accounting- what can there be improved?

The agent never responds to tenants / landlord complaint. They have taken over water meter charges from Dee Valley and now put it as part of management fee budget.
