I am not a fan of writing reviews, but after three and half years of unsuccessful attempts to resolve the issues internally, I decided to do it. Think very carefully before buying the flat in the block maintained by Colin Bibra and ask your solicitor to check properly who really maintains the house you decide to buy. In our block Walpole Lodge, West Ealing Colin Bibra exists just nominal and real maintenance supervised by the individual ****, who has been a Director related to the block legal entities since 2005 according CH records. He has a flat in the block, but does not live there, does not rent it out. His flat is completely ruined and used as a shed. He considers the block like a place where he makes money from its maintenance. It seems he has a lot of free time as he is hanging out near any buildersprofessionals constantly. The convenience and needs of other owners does not bother him at all. He does what he wants and whenever he wants, as the block entirely his property and other flat owners his tenants. Colin Bibra does not intervene. The maintenance is horrible, Colin Bibra does not know the real condition of the house, everything under full control of Mr. Tybulewicz. Any reports about problems and complaints are ignored until they reach the boiling points, no or the last minute notices of any noisy or required presence works. All so called improvements are very low quality huge money and look poor from the very beginning. There is a lack of transparency in finance. I asked Colin Bibra many times to provide some certain financial documents. They ignore polite requests and reminders, they ignore demanding requests and reminders. After very demanding requests they begin to discuss my ‘inappropriate manner’ or provide some documents that are not corresponding with the requested documents orand figures in the Service Charge Accounts. Approximately every threefour months we have a manager from Colin Bibra, who first justifies themselves that they are , then goes on holiday a month or more and then disappears . I’ve observed about the 20th circle of the manager rotations 7 years. There is only one job that Colin Bibra does perfectly: it is sending requests payment Service Charge. They even do not send the budget letter with the payment request so it is not clear what they claim money. When I bought my flat I could not even imagine that a mess like this may exist. Completely rotten corrupted organization. Avoid.

This agency is an absolute nightmare tenants. When Simon was working there, things were handled much better, but after he left, everything went downhill fast. After one year, they told me my rent would increase by £150. When I tried to negotiate to £100, they punished me by raising it to £200... Read Full Review

We used Colin Bibra many years block management. Initially we were very happy with their service, but in recent years their service has been terrible, with a high staff turnover, service charges sent out late and rude and aggressive communication from senior staff. If you need a block manager, I... 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.
