Do You Provide RTM Services? We Want To Hear From You.

It’s clear to see that at the moment ‘Right to Manage’ (RTM) and ”Leasehold Value Tribunal’ (LVT) are hot subjects when it comes to companies associated with Solitaire / Peverel Property Management.

It would be amusing if it didn’t feel like they were clutching at straws to [...]

Over the weekend, one of the admin’s had been speaking with friends about the success of TheTruthAboutSolitaire and how we are fighting the cause for residents of Solitaire Property Management / Peverel / Consensus Business Group Property Management companies. During the conversation, a point was made in regards to the ‘impact’ that TheTruthAboutSolitaire had, had on Solitaire / Peverel, reputation. If they didn’t take us seriously, why do they invest so much time in contributing and monitoring the website? This then got us thinking about [...]
