It’s the morning after England were dumped embarrassingly out of the World Cup by the Germans – things can’t get any worse surely?  Well for the residents of ‘Fortune One’ or ‘City Heights, Nottingham’ it appears that it can! Over the weekend we were contacted by City Heights to bring us up to speed with developments and despite the victory to replace Solitaire Property Management, it appears that Consensus Business Group of companies are still able to influence proceedings. Here’s the updates as quoted by [...]

It’s been mentioned in the past that it would be beneficial to collate the names of the developers for us to ‘name and shame’ them, to let others be aware of the perils they may be getting themselves into, when buying a new home. If the list gets long enough, we hope to write to them and demand their reasons for choosing to appoint Consensus Business Group companies to manage the developments, whilst also offering the freehold to these companies. Someone has to be held [...]

We were browsing the SkyNews website and found an interesting article, that related to how in the Modern-Day Customers Publicly Rant over Poor Service Companies and just how true that is when it comes to Solitaire Property Management / Peverel Property Management. The full report is below, for those that haven’t read it:- Source: SkyNews UK customers are reacting to poor service much more aggressively than five years ago, a survey has revealed.   Customers are letting off steam through social networking sites like Facebook. Research [...]

Since we announced that ‘Landmark Leasehold Advisory Services’ were a sponsor of TheTruthAboutSolitaire, their Director James Butler has a keen contributor to the site and has passed on some useful advice to others. We thought we would highlight his recent comment, that was in reply to our recent post ‘A Worried Home Owner’ that was published in regards to issues at a new development in Maidstone, that offered us an insight into how property management companies, like Peverel / Solitaire Property Management / Consensus Business Group of Property Management Companies [...]

Since creating the TTAS Directory, we have been approached by many Property Management Companies, that hope to benefit from Peverel’s terrible service and have asked to be listed within the TTAS directory. With each new company that is listed, we will issue a post to bring this to visitors attention and today, we are pleased to announce that the TTAS Directory now includes – Bartholomews, who are a Property Management Company and Chartered Surveyor. The TTAS Directory is available for companies that believe they can [...]

From time to time, we try to highlight some of the cases that get reported to us by residents of properties that Solitaire Property Management are responsible. This time, we’ve received the following message from a homeowner of a George Wimpey Development in Maidstone:- Hi Thanks for your website, we have been a new property for 6 months and the first time solitaire contacted has was to give us a administration charge and threaten us with debt collectors. This company are only charging a few [...]

Most of the regular visitors to TTAS will be aware of CARLEX which is short for the Campaign Against Retirement Leasehold EXploitation and may have noticed that their website has been offline of late. We contacted CARLEX to bring this to their attention and they told us that their website is currently undergoing reconstruction. Although the CARLEX campaign is targetted at injustices for retired leaseholders, many of the issues are exactly the same as those being challenged by TTAS, and the companies are all in the [...]

We are constantly monitoring all of the Peverel Group / Consensus Business Group of companies for any updates that are recorded on Companies House and we have some updates to report. It would appear that William Procter and Michael Gaston both had their Director responsibilities terminated on the 14 June 2010. This may not seem that important, (afterall Director position change within companies) but these terminations applied to the following Peverel Group / Consensus Business Group companies. Solitaire Property Management – MG, WP Solitaire Group [...]

Following the announcement on Tuesday that we were offering businesses within the Property Management Sector the opportunity to help support TheTruthAboutSolitiare, by having a directory listing. We are pleased to announce that within hours of publishing this post, we were approached by ‘Landmark Leasehold Advisory Service’, who wanted to be involved with TTAS. Landmark offer a ‘no-win, no-fee’ service, that may be of benefit to any developments that are considering RTM / LVT or simply want to remove their existing management company. They have also [...]

We have finally managed to get round to creating a ‘Directory’ link, whereby companies that can help you remove Solitaire Property Management / Peverel Property Management are listed. The ‘Directory’ is available for companies that are happy to donate to TTAS for a 12 month listing and therefore, if you know of a PMC that you are happy with and has replaced PPMG, why not bring to their attention this opportunity to have a captive audience. As of today (15/06/10) – we do not have any [...]
