oh boy oh boy, this is a long story, unfortunately we went into this award contract with HML and since then all what we have is problem (we meaning the whole estate). HLM is only after money, yes from time to time they cut the grass but to get them to make any repairs - it will be take at least half of the year. there is always the same excuse - no money. what the hell? I have paid upfront (as I was forced by signing the agreement to buy the house), and they did not do a single thing to keep the estate looking fine (well they cut the grass like three times in a year). after pointing out the are as they misses to maintain we were told that we are to pay first. (tax system). so we had the residents meeting and after 2 hours of listing to "I promise you" John Ryan, the conclusion was we have to pay no matter what otherwise we will be summoned to court and the HLM's part of the deal may be looked at - this happened in July 2013, still no reply from HLM maybe with the exception of £150 added to my bill for extremely expensive admin charges. NEVER GET INVOLVED WITH HLM!


What agent could do to change your mind?

the best would be to do the job it is paid for, stop threatening people with £150 rising to £300 admin cost for disputing service charges for job that have not been done. start contacting people and be honest
