Beware: Today this company is renamed JM Estates / Encore (based in Cambridge). In 3 words: Bl**dy expensive, useless and incompetent Unable to properly apportion service charges, with 3 units paying 0 service charge until in 2010, until I went to the LVT. The major works were a disaster, with ... Read Full Review
Site Managing Agents fees mixes 2 different leases. This means you are paying for some elses property. So far I have had to pay out for 23 years for 3 units, new steel steps etc

They supposedly manage Imperial Park in Windsor. For months I have been emailing them about potholes in one of the shared gravel driveways. I believe some stones (not gravel) were thrown in however these have soon dispersed so the problem remains. I have told that I will not pay a management fee ... Read Full Review

Their office staff are arrogant, slow to respond and their promised timescales for work to be carried out are not met. I also consider their charges to be ... Read Full Review

I would give 0 stars if possible. I genuinely don't know what this company offers the people who, like myself, are somehow bound to pay their (increasing) monthly management fee despite owning the property freehold, yet there is absolutely nothing they do for me. When I did try to get in touch to ... Read Full Review

On our estate, Friars Mead in Addlestone there are several home owners at our wits end with John Mortimer. They charge us for gardening services that they do not deliver, in fact they actually cost us more in garden maintenance because several of us have had to go and buy gardening tools to clear ...

1. respond to emails, phone calls and complaints. 2. deliver services paid for to an acceptable standard and in a timely manner. Basically do what they are paid to do.
I have no problem paying these fees if they do the work they are paid to do.
