Just shocking - avoid like the plague - if they are already 'managing' your block talk to other leaseholders and get rid of them - you really will not have a good experience - just read the other reviews on this website - they can rename as much as they like but it's still the same shocking outfit. AVOID AVOID AVOID, you will save yourself a lot of grief. Get a local firm to manage your property.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Probably about average but the value is awful so therefore the value for money is shockingly poor

Absolutely dreadful having to deal with this company. Lack of organization, deceitful, and singularly focused on greed and nothing else. The company keeps changing their name too so that newer customers can't find out about their terrible past history....
