cP Bigwood now SDL Bigwood . The most useless company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with.They currently manage the block of flats where I live. Over charging, poor if any communication and they allow contractors to carry out shoddy workmanship and pathetic customer service on their behalf for which they are well paid.we are currently developing a web site for other victims of Bigwoods and the contractors they use so as to enable individuals to make contact, write review in an effort to put a stop to this company bullying, robbing property owners who cannot afford to legally fight this large company on their own.They have got away with it for too long and now it's time to fight back. I recommend that anyone seeking property management, avoid this company at all costs. Watch this space!
Overcharges for pretty much everything

Unfortunately I have to agree with all of the below comments. SDL manage our building, we pay an extortionate amount on annual 'maintenance' + additional fees (eg. £850 for internal decoration, paid in August ago, the work is still yet to be completed). Additionally the communication... Read Full Review
Very expensive - but it wouldn't even be problem if the building was maintained and planned work was done!

Awful maintenance company, did not address maintenance issue for 5 years despite numerous call outs. I received an unexplained huge additional 'excess maintenance for end of year' invoice which exceeded my whole years maintenance charge and when challenged their response, after 2 years of...

The worst management company we have ever come across. They ignore their obligations in the lease, do not respond to letters or emails, do no repairs/maintenance to property despite high management service charges. We are now consulting a lawyer to take them to court, perhaps only then will they... Read Full Review
High service charges and nothing done despite repeated requests.

SDL Bigwood are a complete shambles of a company. They recently changing their name from CP Bigwood to probably try and avoid all the bad reviews they had racked up. As others have already said, they do not respond to emails, although they give a responce to emails saying they will respond with in ... Read Full Review
Over priced and providing no service whats so ever. Decorating a building with in a reasonable cost is basic management. And this is what you are being paid to do.

CP/SDL Bigwood are a nightmare. Constant repair invoices coming through the post which surely should be covered by the buildings insurance. Terrible charges for external decoration works which are a waste of time. Why would you want to spend �11,000 on painting windows that have broken seals that ... Read Full Review
The service charge is reasonable but any other charges are most of the time unreasonable

Awful, we are finally leaving as they have done nothing for the managment fee they charge us. As DMA they were slow but got the job done, as CP Bigwood we got nothing. Zero communication or follow up and frequent lack of response or out of office to our emails. They are now renamed SDL Bigwood, ... Read Full Review
Any payment to this lot is a waste of your funds.

CP Bigwood are the most inefficient, unscrupulous organisation I have ever had the misfortune to deal with. Although I have only been a leaseholder for 15 months, CP Bigwood have (mis)managed Wickham Court for a number of years. In the time I have lived here there has been no preventative...

Manage the property for the benefit of the landlord and leaseholders as they are paid to do.
