This agent was managing the developments from Elliot Group Wolstenholme Square Liverpool. A disagreement with the developer had them removed as managing and letting agents which left all owners in a dilemma as the developer wanted to force a new management company onto leaseholders under ...

Comment on agent fees
The agent is taking fees but the statements are very difficult to understand due to money owed to the leaseholders by the developer who was using UB as their letting and management agent. The fees were reasonable for letting but the building management fees should have been more transparent.

The best way to get control of the management is to set up a "right to manage company" and try to get the majoritory of leaseholders to support the RTM. The Lawless apartments are now run by Urban Evolution after UB fell out of favor.

Hi Marta. We have spoken since you posted this review and hope that we have now resolved and clarified on the issues you have identified within your review. In the interest of responding for any of our current or future customers, this is not the service level that we aim to provide at urbanbubble. We use the custodial scheme at the Deposit Protection Scheme to protect all of our tenants deposits so we cannot make claims on our tenants deposits without merit. I understand that there had ...

Hi Erosnyx, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are really happy that you chose to come back and re let one of our properties for a second year. I am sorry that you then did not have such a great experience with us as you had previously. We would not be able to guarantee a specific apartment where booked in advance as we would not specifically know what we have available until around 6 weeks before the apartments become available. All efforts would have been made t ...
