Hobdens Property Management

This company is awful. Avoid at all costs. Leaseholders beware. My service charges went from being £1600 a year to now being £2500 after only 2 years of living in my flat.

I can't quite express the dissatisfaction we've experienced with Hobdens. Unbelievably unresponsive, uncooperative and unprofessional. We spent over a year trying to get hold of them with constant phone calls and emails. We were consistently fobbed off with excuses and went countless ... Read Full Review

Two main issues with Hobdens :- 1. When the block of flats I live in needed the roof repaired, Hobdens allowed the residents management company to maintain the service charge at far too low a level. This resulted in all 24 flat owners paying £5,000.00 each in a few weeks, to pay the ... Read Full Review
