Comment on agent fees
£30 per quarter is fine if they do anything for their money. It's a rip off with MacFie because they do nothing. They struggle to reply to emails, get invoices correct or even get quotes for work required on the building.

Until we sacked them in 2012 MacFie and Co had been the factor of our city centre building since at least 1988. In those 25 years, despite an annual income of thousands of pounds from residents of our building for 'admin fees' and minor repairs no-one could locate, ...

MacFie & Co are not only incompetent, they intimidate and threaten court action, seek to charge for work that is never completed, overcharge for horrendously poor quality work that is, and enforce ridiculous maintenance schedules designed purely to line their own and their chosen contractors' pockets. ...
