Remus property management Salisbury treat us terribly in our block of flats they are managing agents for on behalf of our Freeholder
We have recently sold our flat and had to pay Remus 300 pounds for an information pack which contains information we already had
Disgusting
My estate called The Mill at Springfield in Maidstone by Redrow is selling contracts with Fleecehold (supposedly Freehold properties with half a million pounds price for 1280sq 4 bed semi detached .
Maintaince charge is £358 / year with £125 + VAT for every single application for any modification to home
there is no regulation as to how charges will increase
Stonebridge homes are another one. They use RMG. Avoid !!!…they have a few sites in North Yorkshire… IE… BROOKFIELD GARTH, Hampsthwaite, HG3 2EB…….KINGSLEY FARM Harrogate, HG1 4RF……..PINFOLD GARTH Sherburn-in-Elmet, LS25 6LE…….THE WILLOWS, Harrogate, HG3 1QF…..WHARFEBANK PLACE Otley, LS21 3JP……WINDSOR PLACE Cawood, YO8 3SU…selling ‘freehold’ houses with management fees that are uncapped & unregulated. 100% risk for the homeowner and still pay circa 500-700k !!!….please be careful if you ever look at a home built in the last 20 years as you may well inherit a fleecehold if you dont ask. Never just rely on your solicitor to point it out to you either. Their TP1’s state that anything they deem necessary will be treated as a matter of fact, plus they can change in location and size anytime they want…. You can’t argue. Avoid people.
