Peverel does not own the freehold, but they are managing agents, and they arrange our insurance. Do you think we could still be members of the 500?

I own a flat in a block previously managed by Solitaire. The management was appalling. Fortunatley I am a Director of a Company, Hunter Grey whose business is block management. We formed a Right To Manage Company and took over the management from Solitaire last year. We now manage the block ourselves and have turned it around. My message to anyone who has a flat managed by Solitaire is form an RTM Company, make getting rid of poor management a first priority.

Solitaire, e&m or Peverel, whatever name you want to go by, have ruined our lives for the past six years! You have robbed us, ignored us and lied to us. THE SOONER YOU ARE GONE THE BETTER! Even now the LVT is over you continue the Insurance scam by keeping City Heights Building Insurance policies with Zurich, through Oval at ULTRA high premiums, taking your kickbacks. NO LANDLORD should be making a profit in this way! The list of activities your Insurance arm claim they do to justify the commission is nothing short of armed robbery and you know it! Everyone knows a women carrying a baby fell on the Franklin Bridge because she sued the estate for compensation as you very well know. You also know residents in Nightingale House were reporting dirrhoea and sickness during the two year period the water tank was not chlorinated! You also know a disabled women was trapped in the lift as during the LVT a Solitaire employee admitted this. You also know the only reason why Solitaire are going as the property managers at City Heights is because the Residents Association started action to discharge and it was halted when you gave in and agreed to walk away. You only agreed because the evidence was so stacked up against you, you knew an LVT to appoint a new manager would have to prove failings and this could be easily achieved and would seriously damage your PR! I also know from emails the Secretary of the City Heights Residents Association sends round that Morris Flynn, the BBC Reported said, and i quote, 'We have been told by Peverel we do not have consent or authority to film on any land belonging to the Freeholder'. Anyone can call the BCC and ask for Morris Flynn and check exactly was Peverel told him. I have called Morris and he said he is happy for anyone to call him, as he said this is what he was told. I also know that the Peverel Property Manager for City Heights accidently sent an email to a resident on City Heights just weeks before the LVT inwhich they slagged him off. The email was suppose to be seen by internal staff only but she sent it to the resident in error. Deny that Andy! Deny Peverel sent the resident a box of chocolates, a bottle of wine and an apology card! I have seen the card! You people are just terrible and you play this PR game trying to make out the whole world is wrong and you are right! I tell everyone who reads this..... start an LVT against Peverel if only to get back the Insurance Kick back payments! City Heights Resident (Nottingham) Andy

Your Landlord have to supply this to you. On that certificate it will state Oval as the broker and Zurich as the insurer. Also there will be no mention of your site name and it will refer to any freehold or head leasehold interest of the Peverel group.
