Every time they send us a bill for ‘property management’ it makes me feel physically sick! First of all, they insist on a float payment - £100 which sits in their account - that you only get back if/when you sell your house. Except this isn’t really true because this money is allegedly used to cover legal fees to change the names on the paperwork to whoever buys your house. That’s if they don’t go bust or get bought over or you just forget in 40 years time.

Additionally, I, along with most other residents do not directly benefit from the services they apparently provide. There is maybe 2 areas of grass they cut and a small play park which I have never laid eyes on they charge us for to repair and maintain.

This month, they are charging the resident a share of a £10,000 bill to replace 22 fence posts and dispose of a bit of a dirt.

When will this almost criminal behaviour stop?! The residents need to get together and put a stop to these companies immediately. If they made sure my bins were put out and washed every week I would happily pay it but a bit of grass cutting and someone popping their head round a corner to see if a play park is still intact constitutes tens of thousands of pounds every year…????? Disgusting! Sickening! And in a time when we are struggling to pay bills and put food on the table to have to fork out for this scam behaviour…abhorrent!

A horrible, mickey mouse, thieves without masks of a company and should be avoided at all costs!!!!
