This blog was created to inform people of a certain group of property companies and freeholders it may be advisable to avoid, when buying a home, or getting involved in a leasehold property in the UK.
It is becoming common knowledge that there are people involved in a number of property related businesses that, in many of their clients opinion, use unethical tactics to force people into paying astronomical fees.
The public should be made aware of these companies and possible unethical practices, and ensure they are well informed before entering agreements.
Judges should take this information into consideration at tribunals and appeals for Right to Manage.

“We have just received our service charge for a block of 4 flats with a tiny communal hallway and a singular small flight of stairs and it is over £3,500 they have given us until 24th of December to pay. We are being completely over charged. We are a young couple who were trying to get on the property ladder. In the last 2 and a half years we have paid nearly £20,000 in fees and charges. It is absolutely ruining us. We are in the process of trying to get RTM (Right to Manage) however it will still be weeks and we still need to pay them for the service charge for the next 6 months even if we might be rid of them. It is making me ill and I don’t know what to do anymore. Honestly Eagerstates are ruining my life and I can’t cope anymore. We can’t sell without taking a massive loss, we can’t afford to do up our flat to make it more sellable, whatever we are paying Eagerstates they are not doing anything to make the block more sellable and improve it. I am at the end of my tether, seems we are doing the right steps but still they are trying to get as much money from us as possible.
I am not sure if i need advice or just some encouragement but I am close to ending it all.“

Sometimes a solicitor or lawyer can act without integrity, in which case you can file a complaint with The Solicitors Regulation Authority.
There are 7 principals of the Solicitors Regulation Authority which means solicitors should act:
– in a way that upholds the constitutional principle of the rule of law, and the proper administration of justice.
– in a way that upholds public trust and confidence in the solicitors’ profession and in legal services provided by authorised persons.
– with independence.
– with honesty.
– with integrity.
– in a way that encourages equality, diversity and inclusion
– in the best interests of each client
