TheTruthAboutSolitaire Improvements
Following our post on Wednesday offering Solicitors and Property Management companies who specialise in Right to Manage / removal of Peverel - the opportunity to advertise on TheTruthAboutSolitaire, we are pleased that already a number of companies have contacted us.
We’d like to assure all visitors, that as part of the requirements of advertising on TheTruthAboutSolitaire, they must be able to demonstrate to us, that they have had successes in removing property management companies, who are associated with / part of Peverel Group or Consensus Business Group.
TheTruthAboutSolitaire take great pride in offering ‘facts’ and would not want to promote companies that are on par with Peverel Group companies.
A point was raised today, whereby as part of the ‘Google Adwords’ advertisements that are displayed on TheTruthAboutSolitaire, that ‘Peverel Retirement’ are listed. Unfortunately, we are not in control of these ads and our only suggestion would be, for those users who see these links – click them, as it costs Peverel money, whilst earning us revenue that helps TheTruthAboutSolitaire to develop.
New Identity Coming Soon
With the rebranding of many of the Peverel Group companies, we thought it would be time for us to finally get a ‘corporate’ image.
Therefore, in the coming week’s, you will start seeing improvements to TheTruthAboutSolitaire, in addition to a brand new fresh design for the site! (we hope, pending design issues!)
In the meantime, here’s a sneak preview of our new ‘logo’ – that you can all publicise!!
We have been really pleased with many of your suggestions and hope that we can integrate many of them into the revamp.
If there’s anything we’ve missed or you want added to the current site, let us know – ASAP, by posting on this entry.

to “The Truth About Solitaire”
You have done, and are doing, a fantastic job of highlighting everything that is wrong and unjust with this particular property management company. However as many of your regular subscibers and visitors know, Solitaire is but one of severel companies linked to Peverel and ultimately owned by Consenus Business Group. There are many other property management companies not related to CBG that may also require some attention.
Have you considered taking a more generic approach (like CARLEX) with the focus on the key issue (leasehold / property management exploitation)so that all concerned leaseholders can access your site and not just those who are currently under the yoke of Solitaire? I notice that “Andy” of the high status job title even tells us above (Latest post on e-mail adresses) that his e-mail address is andy@peverel…..not andy@solitaire
There are many, many leaseholders who are probably blissfully unaware that the freehold of their lovely new apartment block was recently sold by the developer of the site to a “company” (that was able to raise an massive bank loan) along with 27 other residential site freeholds across England and Wales? (Yes your freehold and the other 27 freehold sites are jointly now basically owned by the bank that issued the loan.)
BUT they will realise soon what has been going on and will begin to hunt around on the web for sites like this. BUT how will they find TTAS if they are not managed by Solitaire?

Ditto the above. Admin, you’re doing a great job!
Having just checked, it seems that the recent changes to the site, including the extended homepage name, mean that it will be just as visible to people searching not only on Solitaire, but also on Peverel and other CBG companies. This site also features highly in Google searches regarding ‘property management’, ‘service charges’, ‘leasehold’ and ‘complaints’. Any and all combinations of these key words put you within a click or two of this site.
Clearly Admin knows a thing or two about how the Internet works and search engines operate. Without needlessly changing the domain name every few months – which I imagine would increase costs and potentially lose regular visitors – this site has still kept pace with widening net of CBG related companies and the growing interest in their activities. Bravo.
As for widening the TTAS remit to include all property management companies and the issue of leasehold as a whole, I think CARLEX already have this covered. It’s enough that this site acts as a signpost to other sites of help and interest to leaseholders, and works in concert with these sites where helpful, but we should not lose sight of the original purpose: to highlight the failings of Solitaire, Peverel and CBG companies and hold them to account.
