I did write a very scathing review of H&P but I was contacted by a whiny voiced peon of theirs named Gordon Buchanan who threatened legal action if I didn't remove it. So here's a point by point version of why they suck (you asked for it, Gordie): No close cleaning or communal area care service (we were offered these services but the prices charged were much too steep). No back lighting for over a year. Questionably high building insurance fees. Extortionate management fee (despite the fact that none of the above services are provided). Other factors offer a better, cheaper service (Milnbank, for instance - but shop around, even self-factoring is preferable to H&P). Refusal to allow us to terminate our contract with them. There are more but I think 'm running out of character space. Buyer beware.

4 Dec 2020Property owners beware - your initial deposit to them will be held when you sell your property - supposedly to cover legal fees. Nothing but a shower of robbers without the masks. Get money for nothing - hate them with a passion - as does our whole development. Zero stars!!!

19 Mar 2021They were robbing bees almost 35 years ago when I used them and close was a disgrace. can't believe their still in business. Looking at buying a flat but just found out H&P factor fees are £85 per month.

21 Oct 2021I am an investigative journalist in contact with a group of residents (21 flats) whose factor is H&P. I would be interested in meeting with you to discuss the problems you had/are experiencing. Gordon Buchanan has no right in threatening you with court action and it would be my hope to be able to have everyone involved in agreeing to a Civil Litigation Action given the number of people affected by H&P, the state of the buildings, the shoddy work carried out and the extortionate expenses incurred sometimes it would seem, on an ad hoc basis. I can be contacted at: sirpercyblakeney3@gmail.com

4 Jun 2024Recovery companies/firm has played a crucial role in curtailing financial thefts by providing services to underserved populations who were unjustly exploited or targeted from their previous finance practices and investments, However, there will always be bad eggs in the groups like the first 2 firms I contacted before SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM arrived and saved the day. SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY FIRM and team have disrupted traditional financial services, offering innovative solutions that challenge established financial institutions and banking related frauds setting the standards for true excellence in this field. Unfortunately The knowledge and experience i have gained from my painful ordeal with the fraudulent platform that nearly succeeded in taking my money came at a great cost one that I had imagined would be the ruin of me. I lost my entire life savings of almost half a million dollars to a binary trading platform introduced to me by a lady I connected with on LinkedIn, she had provided me with all sorts of documents and proofs to collaborate her testimony which I later discovered were all fakes. I blamed myself deeply for trusting her words and being a novice in the industry, i fell for her game of numbers, I believed I actually had a real balance of huge profits and before I realized what was happening I had already invested everything I had saved up with them. I couldn’t bear the loss so I set out looking for help, it wasn’t an easy decision picking the right company to consult as I came across many different recovery agents/companies but in the end, it was worth the risk. I decided to go with SWIFT ASSETS RECOVERY Team on my third attempt through one of their contact channels on WhatsApp +1 (786) 684-0501 and I explained my plight to the team, well to round up my story, the team recovered my funds from the scam company in 72 hours of serious efforts unlike the previous recovery companies. Also the team is active on email SWIFTRECOVERYSERVICE006@ GMAIL.COM Or Telegram @SWIFT_HACKING Website https://swiftspyassetsrecovery.com
