I cannot recommend Sergi highly enough as a property manager. From the very beginning, his professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to ensuring a seamless experience have been truly outstanding. He is always quick to address any concerns, proactively solves issues before they escalate, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly.
What sets Sergi apart is his genuine care tenants and his exceptional attention to detail. Whether it’s handling maintenance requests efficiently or offering helpful advice, he consistently demonstrates a level of commitment that makes a real difference. His friendly and approachable nature makes communication effortless, and it’s clear that he takes pride in providing excellent service.
If you’re looking a property manager who is trustworthy, highly competent, and truly invested in creating a positive living experience, Sergi is the best choice. I’m incredibly grateful his support and couldn’t be happier with the service he provides!

These people are absolute crooks. They hyper inflate costings for projects way beyond any reasonable and independent quotes obtained by the home owner's association and when asked to justify their costings they just repeated ignore you until finally demanding payment under threat of legal action. Their processes breach the covenants of the lease agreements but they don't care, they just bully owners into submission. It's a truly disgusting and shameful practice in this day and age and how anyone working for this sordid company is beyond me. They seem to relish causing anxiety and hardship for thousands of people and should be shut down.

The worst property management company I've ever had to deal with. Not that this is a surprise from looking at the other reviews. Rude, aggressive, morally dubious and, worst of all, incompetent. Every time I had to deal with an employee that was none of those things, they lasted about a month and moved on. Unless you don't mind any of that, crumbling properties, shocking maintenance and waiting six months to see any paperwork, then knock yourself out. Don't know how they sleep at night.

They have one intention only which is to rip off as many tenants as they can. Let the buyer beware if you are planning to deal with them `Caveat Emptor`. I have never in all my Years had such a bad experience with a so called professional outfit please please please do not trust this firm or the Company they represent the Brompton Property Company

I would rate FreshWater a zero if possible. They treat the lease holders as cash cows, continually do building work, with their own contractors who bill far far above the going rate for substandard work. They ignore emails, if you do get a response it’s passing you you onto someone else’s. There is zero communication or transparency with fees. Simple problems take YEARS genuinely 2 years to fix my leaking roof, only when I called environment health did they bother to take note.
Absolutely awful!

We have been overcharged for at least 8 years - between 130,000 to 150,000 per year for service charge. Over 10 years we paid about £10,000 per year for a run down building on the North Circular road, (this is not Kensington or Chelsea). Examples : They put a new boiler,charged £75000 for it, and now claiming that they are going to charge 25000 to 35000 per year for the boiler. we are told that there should be 10 to 15 years warranty, why the execessive charges. Because they can, because so far everyone just took them to civil court, now they are being investigated by a government body, as overbilling is a criminal offence (and not a civil matter) ! In America is racketeering, in UK it comes under the fraud and theft acts.

They are absolutely horrible landlords. I rented one of their flats and would like to renew the contract with them. I told them in two months before the contract expired and sent all the required documents 30 before the contract expired but they did nothing about it. They told me they could not prepare the new contract before the old one expired ten days before the old contract expired. However, they let me stay in the flat until the new contract started. I had been chasing them for 5 weeks after the old contract expired. The contract starting date was even wrong. It took them a week to amend and they only gave me so little time (literally two days) to prepare the money and the contract. The agents they hired from the other company was even shouting at me on the phone just because I put the wrong figures down on the email. I admitted I made the mistake but they should not be that harsh to me. It was mainly their fault not doing their job properly.

This terrible company fails at every point to manage their buildings; they overcharge for minimal "improvements" to the building, often try to charge residents for improvements on their own privately-owned flats by disguising them in the service charges, neglect ALL issues of health and safety, allow their own tenants to dump rubbish throughout their buildings and leave them there for years, etc. The list of incompetence, mismanagement, and downright thievery is outrageous. It's time for all leaseholders who suffer from this corrupt company to band togteher for a class-action!

Freshwaters is absolutely the worst managing agency - they are lazy, overcharge and ignore requests for building manintence tasks to be done. We looked into removing them as managing agents, but they own slightly over 60% of the flats in our building, so the only way to do that now is taking them to a Leaseholders Valuation Tribunal, which we are considering. We certainly have reams of evidence of the lack of due care and maintenance. We are also challenging their HUGE excess service charge bill (where they clearly make their money from), and want to challenge the rate at which they pay their contractors - £36p/h for the gardener for example. However, the company make it extremely difficult to view their invoices, asking you to arrange a meeting in person at their offices, and seem to have a stranglehold over the contractors they choose. Worst of all, the management staff (especially Ian Lew) are awful - Lew is totally incompetent and seems to spend his days drinking.

They are the worst company ever. It took us a court case and 3 years to extend our lease. they just kept asking for more more more. rude and unhelpful staff; unreasonable fees to let out your own property; 130 pounds just to answer the most basic of lease questions; rude letters asking for general cash for repairs our ground rent should have paid; demands we change our door at huge expense from us; rude threatening letters to everyone in the block just because one person dropped some litter; sarcastic phone answerers (that's all they did- no one there has ever helped anyone in any capacity). There was probably much more but we escaped. Everyone in our block hated them. Never go anywhere near them. This review is much nicer than it should be.
