My son transferred his flat to me. Management fee invoices had been issued prior to the transfer.The fees were paid to that previous account Brown032. They re-issued the same invoices to me on a new account they set up Brown092. Despite sending e mails saying the sums had been paid, with transfer details, I received no responses. I managed to talk to a person in accounts, getting past the voicemail, and they saw what had happened and apologised. Yet i still get threatening legal letters. Completely unresponsive.

Service charge - OK, legal fees for transfer/registration - totally unjustified in the circumstances.

The most UNPROFESSIONAL, APPALLING company I have ever dealt with.

Their breakfast was still left on the side, grease and food ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

They should have carried out the standard procedure for any new tenant- arranged a professional clean, re-painted the necessary walls and fixed other general maintenance issues. They should also have issued me a formal apology after the way in which we have been treated by over five of their employees.

What agent could do to change your mind?

Let me be there during inspections especially the final ones, only offering these during working hours is unfair. Try to fix things like broken toilets with proper equipment instead of duc tape Inform your tenants before the deposit about your procedures and extra costs.
