Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 50 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many consumers frequently appreciate the exceptionally helpful and professional staff members who go above and beyond to resolve complex queries efficiently. Reviewers often note that customer representatives listen carefully, maintain a positive attitude, and explain administrative processes very clearly. However, some people mentioned significantly rising service charges, unexpected fees, and a complete lack of proper maintenance work on their residential estates. Others similarly expressed deep frustration regarding unhelpful communication, poor management responsiveness, and severely delayed responses to urgent property repair requests. Additionally, a few consumers reported excessive financial pressures and difficulties when trying to get transparent itemised bills from the company.

Absolute disgrace

This company is an absolute disgrace! They need investigating ASAP. My mother in law moved into her apartment to be mortgage free and Kingston property service manage the property.

In her first year there (2023) she was paying £61 per month now in 2025 they are trying to charge her £277 with an additional cost (because they actually "carried out" some work) taking her cost to over £300 a month!!!

This is now more than her mortgage she was paying on her 3 bedroom home!

I don't get how this company can be allowed to do it! The stress they are causing for my mother in law is hard to see and they don't care, just bleeding her dry!

She has the property up for sale, the apartment she fell in love with, now being forced out of it by this shamboliic, disgraceful company!

How do we take this further? From reading these reviews they have done this to lots of others! Lets take action against these robbing bastards!

One star too many for this review! DISGRACE!!!!!

Hi Paul, thanks for sharing your feedback. We appreciate your frustration with the increasing costs for your mother-in-law. However, any works carried out by contractors at the development are of course paid for through the service charge. Charges are issued each year, which outline the costs that leaseholders are paying. If your mother-in-law requires assistance to understand the service charge, please ask her to get in touch - https://kingstonpropertyservices.co.uk/contact-us/

New Management Role

Since taking over from Helen, I have found Kiran to be easy to deal with and her responses to the matters I have raised first rate. From my experience it is never easy taking on a new management role, but Kiran has done it with a minimum of fuss.

Hi Keith, we're unable to comment on your council tax as we are appointed by the developer to manage the estate. You should receive annual charges outlining the landscape maintenance, health and safety checks and any other duties carried out at your site. Please contact us directly if you would like more information about our services >> https://kingstonopenspaces.co.uk/contact-us/ Thanks

This is the second time I've been passed across to a solicitor now lol.
This company is absolutely terrible, no idea how its still running.
I never get a invoice or any communication from them at all, my account actually says "upto date" this is one of the worst companies I've ever dealt with.

This the first time I have rated this company as have only just become a client. I tried to register with them on line using the instructions it contained but had no success. I phoned them and it took a few minutes for them to sort out. I was sent an email and registered via that. Apparently as they did not have me email address was what was preventing me from using the portal.

This company charges more and more each year to “manage” the communal areas on our estate. All they do is cut the grass, and they do this badly. We have ragwort growing on grassed communal areas which legally has to be pulled up, yet all they do is mow it down with the rest of the grass. An absolute waste of space/oxygen/time. If you buy a new build and these people are the designated management company do yourself a favour and run away, you’ll be sucked in to a contract that will probably put off anyone ever buying your property if you come to sell. If I could give zero stars that would still be too much.

Hi Mark, thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to learn that you're dissatisfied with the service provided on your estate. Your comments regarding ragwort have been shared with the Estate Manager for your development so this issue can be addressed. We can also see that you have emailed us and this will be responded to within our standard timeframes. Estate charges are determined based on the overall cost of maintaining the shared open spaces and we are happy to discuss any specific elements of this if requested.

Excellent working with Kiran Singh

We have been working with Kiran Singh, who has been assisting us in managing a residential block comprising approximately 30 apartments. Kiran has been a breath of fresh air and is always responsive, efficient, and professional. She does what she says she will do, and she ensures timely responses, which greatly reduce the amount of "chasing things up" that we have to do. Brilliant work, Kiran. Keep it up!

Black Mirror Meets Contractual Blackmail

Bought a new build Gleeson property in 2021 and agreed to the estates “children’s park” and “gardening” to be managed by Kingston Property Services for a small annual fee.
4 years later, there are rats on the estate, dead plants outside properties and the childrens park has become a overgrown muddy grass patch as apparently someone didn’t approve the plans for a park (we were never consulted on this)

If you’re reading this because you’re considering buying a new build signed up to this company, please don’t; it’s a lifetime tied to a immoral, lazy company with no pride in their work.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback - we would like to clarify a few points regarding your concerns.

As the appointed management company, our role is to maintain the public open space in line with the approved landscaping specification. Therefore, the absence of a playpark is not within our remit as it relates to the original planning and infrastructure decisions. The large grassed area is frequently used by children for football and other play, which understandably impacts the condition of the grass.

We appreciate your concerns regarding pest control, however, we are unable to use poison in public areas due to the significant risks they pose on children and domestic pets.

The planting has already been replaced once, but unfortunately, the new plants did not take as hoped. We have reviewed the situation and have a plan in place to replant again - we are mindful that such works are funded through the residents reserve fund.

We are committed to delivering a service that balances community needs, safety and environmental responsibility and we welcome the opportunity to discuss your concerns directly in future - https://kingstonopenspaces.co.uk/contact-us/
