Management Company.
I wrote to Living City in May 2021 to point out that they have my property at 20% larger than it really is. And given the size is critical to the level of service charge this is pretty important.
After several reminders they still haven't replied. And it is nearly six months. The mill here is grubby and badly looked after. Starting to feel that they are just here to rinse leaseholders. Avoid this company if you can.
I have edited this as I got a very quick reply from Living City - not about my issue, but about this review!
Apologies for typing 2020 instead of 2021 and again for saying six months rather than nearly six months. I've corrected this now. I'm new to this complaining malarky so it seems I should have been more specific about problems rather than general terms like 'grubby'. I'll take pictures and try and download them to the review. They will be within 20 yards of my front door.
In case I can't, they will be of different colour paint on adjacent common exterior doors. Piles of pigeon excretion on window ledges in the lightwell. graffiti that is over six months old on the side of the building. Exterior lights that are filthy and haven't worked for the last five years, windows that are filthy and haven't been washed for over a year despite paying for window cleaning. I'll try and get photos.
I'm a very tolerant person so was alright about the very poor state of the mill, but with the recent hike in charges - nearly doubling, and getting the stone wall treatment, it is time to take some action.

Unscrupulous and dishonest. This company are the absolute worst and I’m sure your first assessment about rinsing leaseholders was spot on.

DO NOT USE THIS MANAGEMENT COMPANY.
The worst service you will ever receive. They rip you off with higher and higher service charges every year and do nothing in return. £12,500 was added extra on top of our service charge for 5 residents to complete gutter roof ...

If I could leave a minus star rating I would. Without a doubt the worst company I have ever had to deal with. Avoid like the plague. The service charges we pay are excessive and are double what we would expect to pay for sub-standard ...

We’ve been living here just under a year and the weeds at the front are thriving. Our service charge is due to be paid next month so it will be interesting to see what our money is being used for....
