Comment on agent fees
fine you as soon as its late, yet never get bills out on time, I just pay now when I think its due as have been fined for not paying when I didn't even get a bill!! appalling value for money !!!! any builder giving this company the management needs shooting but I am guessing that Bigwoods pay them to get the contract so they can fleece people.

How poor this company is. Four years of invoicing mistake (always in their favour of course). Letters from companies house fining us for not submitting accounts which was their job. Then we find out our building insurance had lapsed and we were uninsured. There is ...

Be transparent with their charges. i.e - explain how a management fee is calculated based on the cost of the service Do what they say they will do - very simple premiseAttached Filesnbsp;

Sue, I have received a response in relation to this from Matthew Harris, unfortunately I found the response unacceptable as it again contained incorrect information and failed to address my concerns.
Can you send me the details of the head of customer service, as I feel I am getting nowhere currently and would really appreciate a resolution to what should be a very simple problem to rectify.
Many Thanks
Chris. ...

Acting as a managing agents for my block of flats this company have systematically overcharged in every way possible.
Their practices are certainly unethical and possibly illegal. We formed a management company and ousted them and I would urge other leaseholders to do the same. ...
