I received an unexplained huge additional 'excess maintenance for end of year' invoice which exceeded my whole years maintenance charge and when challenged their response, after 2 years of querying, was they ...

The worst management company we have ever come across.
They ignore their obligations in the lease, do not respond to letters
or emails, do no repairs/maintenance to property despite high management service charges.
We are now consulting a lawyer to take them to court, ...

Over priced and providing no service whats so ever. Decorating a building with in a reasonable cost is basic management. And this is what you are being paid to do.

CP/SDL Bigwood are a nightmare. Constant repair invoices coming through the post which surely should be covered by the buildings insurance. Terrible charges for external decoration works which are a waste of time. Why would you want to spend £11,000 on painting windows that have ...

The service charge is reasonable but any other charges are most of the time unreasonable
