Lived at Cheena Court in Norwich for 10 Years and the property has never been decorated once in this time... Reported internal damage to SDL Bigwood and again hear nothing... like people have said in other reviews though.... they are quick to get JB Leitch Solicitors to add a further £200 + to existing fees when chasing for payment.. Utter sham... looking at ways of reporting these fraudsters!!!...

Utterly atrocious customer service. No interest in responding to e-mails, resolving serious health and safety concerns. Contact fields calls, never calls back, never responds to e-mails, sends poorly typed letters littered with typos explaining how they are going to fix the problem and then never follow through. Would not touch this company with a ten foot barge pole. Would give minus 100 stars, but one is the lowest option....

Wish I could give no star. Poorly managed company, staff members lost important emails and archived the ones they didn't reply. Empty promises and showing zero interests in helping their clients. Dale Jones never returned his clients' calls. Tried to call him one day, was told he was on site and when my lawyer called him she was told he was in a meeting. Different answers for different peopl calling within the same hour! I would only recommend them to the people I hate the most....

We just can repeat again what our impression and that of the other posters is: a most ridiculously acting site manager, with practically no or VERY delayed rection (more 6 months) on our requests - just a few examples: - we send regularly a list of issues which need to be attended by CPBigwood site management - practically no answer. For example a broken electric gate to our car park court is out of function since Nov 2014 - besides a lengthy response from the contractor nothing at all happened...

I can safely say cp bigwood is the most horrendous company I have had the displeasure of dealing with. I am currently in dispute with them over additional charges being billed to myself and the other occupants over redecoration of the internal walls. After a number of emails from myself and residents of our block to dispute the additional charges...as the work simply doesn't need doing!!! They continue to rudely throw their legal rights at us. I have already made payments of nearly a £1000...

CP Bigwood are easily one of the worst companies I have ever had the mis-fortune of dealing with. I have been trying for over 3 months to get some very basic ground maintenance conducted which should have been a matter of routine. I have constantly been lied to about this being done and on one occasion was informed it had been despite me being at the property at the time. I escalated the issue to a manager who was equally poor at answering emails, phone calls and again left me doing all the c...

Be transparent with their charges. i.e - explain how a management fee is calculated based on the cost of the service Do what they say they will do - very simple premise

Sue, I have received a response in relation to this from Matthew Harris, unfortunately I found the response unacceptable as it again contained incorrect information and failed to address my concerns. Can you send me the details of the head of customer service, as I feel I am getting nowhere currently and would really appreciate a resolution to what should be a very simple problem to rectify. Many Thanks Chris. ...

We own a property which is being managed by CPBigwood since Oct 2013. Since June 2014 we try to communicate with the company on a list of issues which need to be addressed. Practically no email is being answered, phone calls lead to nothing, promises to be called back were never held. Once in Nov 2014 we managed to arrange a meeting with the local rep, who promised to improve communication and to feedback solution proposals within 2 weeks. Since then no feedback arrived, and again any email rem...

I have been dealing with CP Bigwood for a number of years as a Landlord with property in a block of apartments where they manage the service charge. I have never dealt with such an incompetent and useless bunch of unprofessional people. I never receive responses to my emails, when I do speak to people they are rude and unhelpful and it seems they are only interested in making mistakes that end up causing me money and distress. Something should really be done about this so called 'business'....

Acting as a managing agents for my block of flats this company have systematically overcharged in every way possible. Their practices are certainly unethical and possibly illegal. We formed a management company and ousted them and I would urge other leaseholders to do the same. Some hard work involved but the financial and service rewards make this very much worth the trouble. Basically you need just over 50% support of the leaseholders per block and a small independent managing agency that can...

What a incompetent company!!! There is not communication, they don't do the job which they are paid to do, we have send a list of issues and they just ignored it and they even bother to do anything about it after months of complaint and several emails send so just don't bother asking them anything because they won't do it !!! It beggars believe !!!...

We sent a list of communal issues to CPBigwood on July 4 2014 - till today (Aug 18) we did not receive any substantial response. This list contains, besides other maybe less essential problems, one which is really serious: the door to the bike shed has been heavily damaged due to heavy storms in Februar 2014. Since then (!) there is no door, several bikes have been stolen, and the only response from CPBigwood so far: well, we are still discussingthis issue with the insurance company - a real sca...

The worst company I have dealt with in my life, very unhelpful and rude staff. Their sole purpose is to charge as much money as possible with minimum services provided to customers. Since I have bought a property managed by them, their service charges have nearly doubled but service level has deteriorated over past few years. Windows don't get cleaned, car park is apparently not their responsibility, inside communal areas are not cleaned regularly list is endless. Only thing they are good at is...
