TTAS hope that everyone has had a great Christmas and are looking forward to the New Year. Believe it or not, but on Christmas and Boxing Day we were inundated with requests for our RTM Guide. So much so, that we are still dealing with the backlog of requests – so please bear with us. What was strange was the fact these requests came from developments throughout the UK and wasn’t from neighbouring developments. We are very intrigued as to why on these two days [...]

On Friday, we touched on the fact that we are in receipt of a number ‘Developers Lease – for Management Schemes’ – that have been was produced by many of the leading house builders from Barratt Homes, David Wilson, Redrow and others. We shouldn’t really be in receipt of these documents and clearly from the information detailed within the ‘Developers Leases’ there is good reason why ‘residents’ are not privy to this information. Not only do these leases clearly stipulate the services that the developments [...]

Very rarely do I write about my personal experiences, but having endured the management of Peverel for almost 10 years, plus  having been ripped off by them and the effect of Peverel on our health, my wife and I decided to place our property on the market in September. Due to our ‘need’ to get out of never having to deal with OM Property Management again, we vastly reduced the value of our property to just get rid of the OM Property hassle. We took the view that when we compared our services [...]

On the 4 December 2010, TheTruthAboutSolitaire published a report based on information received from a contributor who informed us that Lee Middleburgh (OM Property Management / Peverel Property Management Group) – had agreed to meet with a resident to discuss the matter of cheque fraud within OM Property Management. We’re pleased to hear that this meeting has taken place and the contributor has provided us with the following minutes on how the meeting went. Following the publication on TTAS of my letter detailing the cheque fraud [...]

Apologises for the lack of TTAS updates, unfortunately due to illness we’ve not been able to update TTAS as much as hoped, but contributors have been sending us lots of messages / queries that we’ll publishing over the next few days. In light of this, we thought it was an appropriate time to wish the contributors to TTAS a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year. However, our seasons greetings for Peverel are for you to all have a very Merry Christmas with the contractors [...]

We’ve been informed by our sources within Peverel Property Management Group (and PPMG – this information did not come to us via RB) – that apparently they have informed any employees who have left the company of late, to not communicate with TheTruthAboutSolitaire. Therefore, it would appear that Peverel are very worried about what TheTruthAboutSolitaire could reveal about them next. Fortunately, some of the employees in question (past and present) haven’t felt the need to oblige to their request, because they have happily supplied us with more details relating [...]

We’ve been forwarded correspondence from a TTAS contributor who contacted his local MP, enquiring about the need for regulation of the Property Management Industry. It’s clear from the extract of the correspondence below, that his position remains unchanged following the election when our original petition was closed – however, he does mention that his stance is based on a reliance that the industry will improve itself. Thank you for your letter of 10 November on behalf of your constituent Mr CJ of xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx [...]

On the 26 November, we published a story relating to “Possible Cheque Fraud” within OM Property Management / Peverel. Further to this posting, the contributor in question has contacted us to say that Mr Lee Middleburgh had offered to meet with them to discuss the possible fraud, which took place this week. At present we are still awaiting details of the meeting – but do be assured, that we will be publishing this once we’ve received the details from the contributor. One point we would [...]

We have kindly been copied into correspondence from a TTAS contributor that has been sent to Solitaire Property Management / OM Property Management, relating to why the Ombudsman Service has informed them that Solitaire / OM has provided notice to cease being a member of the Ombudsman Services: Property. Below is the original email:- Sir, Further to your notification of April 2010 regarding your joining of the Ombudsman Services, and subsequent confirmation in June 2010 of the same, why have I now received advice from [...]

We were contacted by a resident from ‘Weekday Cross’ in Nottingham in regards to Solitaire’s success in getting a CCJ against the contributor. Despite having paid the ‘debt’ that lead to the CCJ – Solitaire still refuse to deal with the matter. Below is the full extract of the contributors message to us: I wonder if you can help? I own a property that was formerly managed by Solitaire, I am sure that you will be familiar with the problems that we experienced with them. [...]
