Hi, I've been asking Ellmans Property management in Hove, Church Road for months to when they are going to fix the outside of my block. It's in terrible shape around the back of Somerhill Lodge, Hove, where water is getting into my kitchen through the outer wood frame and running down from the top of the window on the inside. The flat has only just been fully repainted to the very highest of standards. There is a perfectly good slush fund and I'm the flat owner occupier. Secondly and more importantly there's a bad leak coming through my ceiling from the empty flat above mine at number 17. I noticed it late Friday afternoon three days ago. The Agents have an emergency number with an answer machine only so you cannot contact them directly! The water leak has moved down my bedroom wall and across my bedroom ceiling and onto the communal ceiling in the hallway, so is a risk the block electrics will blow. I've received an Email back from Abbie handling the block and she said she's not taking calls and I've been waiting to get an Emergency locksmith to get into the flat which must be flooded. This Agent offers an extremely poor service, the woodwork outside the building is progressively disintegrating. I would rate this managing agent as having no stars, just think there's no way to contact them after four days and the woodwork in my top cupboards is buckling!! Water is running down the walls!!!

    I am a leaseholder going through a deeply frustrating experience with Ellmans following a water leak into my flat from the flat above. The necessary remedial work is a small job —simple, not very costly, and straightforward—yet the process has turned into a prolonged and stressful ordeal. It has ... Read Full Review

    Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
