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.

Would give them zero stars if possible

Would give them zero stars if possible. Absolutely impossible to get through on the phone. Damage to property 3 months ago still not resolved. Absolute disgrace of a company. Marie Davidson may as well not have an email address she never bothers to respond. Not a clue why we are paying for a management company that doesn’t actively manage anything. Waste of time and will be complaining.

UPDATE TO REPLY FROM KINGSTON BELOW - WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THIS AND YOU IGNORE THE EMAILS!

This company are happy to take your…

This company seems more interested in collecting fees than addressing the legitimate concerns of its customers. Despite being a loyal client who has consistently paid fees for years, my attempt to report a faulty street light and request necessary maintenance has fallen on deaf ears. The street light has been broken for over a year without any resolution.

Moreover, numerous individuals have faced difficulties creating accounts to pay their bills, and reaching the company by phone seems nearly impossible. Even the emergency line proved unhelpful, as they refused to engage in any meaningful conversation and directed me to call during working hours, which is inconvenient for many people.

Additionally, my efforts to obtain a list of maintenance activities carried out in the estate where I reside went unanswered. This lack of transparency is concerning, especially given that I also own a flat managed by this company where similar issues persist without resolution.

In summary, it appears that the company prioritizes financial transactions over customer satisfaction and essential maintenance responsibilities, creating a frustrating and unresponsive service experience for its clients.

Update I have requested the above information again today and on multiple occasions, I was send a bill but not the information I requested .

Issue Solved

I had an issue with the sale of my property. I spoke to Lisa on 3 occasions and found her very pleasant, professional, and competent. She took the time to explain what she was going to do,and on subsequent calls explained exactly what she had done. A very pleasant lady to deal with. A mention must also go to Helen who assisted me in the first instance, and also Chloe who sorted out the issue for me. Thanks to all.
