Terrible experience. Three years on from initially reporting water damage and it's still not resolved. Had countless property managers, most of which haven't even visited the property and communication is non-existent. We're homeowners and take good care of our home but Newton has neglected it ...

Avoid at all costs.
This company loves to ignore as many emails as possible, I suspect they have an internal competition on who can ignore more emails per day.

Beware Scammers!
I've updated this review to counter balance the impression this company gives by responding 'positively' to any negative reviews. It implies that they will resolve your grievance, however the truth is they are only concerned with their public image that's where their genuine ...

Absolutely useless - to be avoided at all costs. Be warned.
Quarterly billing is shambolic, every invoice is missing a high percentage of the cost of work done DURING THAT BILLING PERIOD. ( Common electricity has been a year late...! ) They don't care / no pride in ...

I’ve found Newton to be professional and extremely easy to deal with.
My Property Manager (John Hempstead) in particular, is resolutely focused on using his, evidently abundant experience and skill set; in creating a seamless buffer between factor and owner.
His management of contractors ...

Really not impressed with them. When they started to get some very unhappy residents their response was not to start providing a better service. Rather, they have insisted, against the wishes of many of us, in hiring a local venue to “meet” with us and ...

One of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. The response rate is shocking. The service is appalling. It should be criminal what these people charge to do close to nothing. Disgraceful company. If you are dealing with Andrew Hare good luck - total waste of time and money. ...

Agents fees are fair when you consider the amount of communal work that it covers. They are always doing something to maintain the building and garden area.
