These horrendous crooks evicted an 80 year old single female family member. There were arrears on the rent left from her late husband which she offered to pay in full but they evicted her anyway with 48 hours notice. This flat had been her home for over 20 years. As I write this she is... Read Full Review

Maureen is the rudest property manager i have ever come across. From my first conversation with her it is obvious she is inexperienced in her field. I work for a pm company too and she is an example of why our industry is falling rapidly and we have a bad reputation in the media. How can a company... Read Full Review

Constantly failed to address the issues in our rented flat, avoided our requests and questions, mould and damp never dealt with properly for over 5 years now, they employ the cheapest builders around and it shows, pictures available on request! The property is not insulated, ... Read Full Review
They take your money, promptly. They are hard to contact, take long time to reply, switching people around so you always deal with someone new that needs to be told everything over and over again until you give up.

I totally agree with all the comments on here. For years leaseholders at Burnham Court, Brent Street, Hendon were ripped off by Freshwater and got zero maintenance in return. As a result, someone fell through our fire escape stairs and was quite seriously injured. Freshwater then tried to charge ... Read Full Review

We were shown the house by an agent from Spencers in Woodford Green who didn't even take us to the garden. The house was still undergoing major works but assured it would be ready by moving in day (in 5 days time). When we moved in the carpet was replaced with a cheap, brownish thin one with paint...

they should provide a finished property where you can actually live in, not in a shelter fixed by cheap, dubious and amateur contractors whose only aim is to finish quickly using the cheapest materials around. totally painful!

Our block was managed by Freshwater from the 1960s onwards. The block was left in an awful state of disrepair until around 2001 (just after I bought my flat) and they started to do remedial works for which they overspecified, overcharged, wangled contracts with their usual list of 3 preferred...

I have a long lease where they are freeholders. Over the years some works were carried out to the block, which were usually very badly executed and some even appeared completely unnecessary. However, the block fell into disrepair and eventually major works were carried out, which no-one disputed... Read Full Review
