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 laying in hospital after heart problems undoubtedly caused by this stress. Absolutely disgusting.
Throughout her tenancy the flat has been neglected by them - nothing has been repaired or updated. They are just greedy, calculated people and need to be avoided.

I have e mailed Jemma Berry now 5 times. She never replies and apart from her rudeness, I find it so unprofessional and not acceptable in business in 2017.

The swathe of negative feedback I’m reading on here chimes exactly with my own experience as someone who rents one of their properties.
Needs -even if of a desperate nature , like severe black mould and leaks- are not attended to with any urgency if at all. Emails and phone calls (to Caroline) are not responded to.
A contemptible company (in addition I note their stance on women not being allowed on the board) which I hope get their comeuppance one day. ...

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.

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!Attached Filesnbsp;

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 ...
