The main stream media occasionally take an interest in our campaign, but it’s usually only now and then, plus when it suits them.
Therefore, today we’ve come up with a bright idea of promoting awareness of what are are trying to achieve for those that are ‘offline’, but we need your help if it is going to work.
Today we report on the shocking behaviour of one Peverel Area Manager that we would love to name and shame.
We also briefly discuss whether Peverel are keeping on top of Health & Safety matters at developments and in particular at Peverel Retirement estates.
TTAS has also been approached by a production company who are making a documentary into issues with leasehold and retirement leasehold properties.
Today, we discuss why it appears Peverel have an inside influence on some Resident Associations and RMCs.
We also discuss why it would appear that within the Peverel Retirement sector, it is the responsibility of the House Manager to befriend residents and obtain information about Peverel related matters.
Peverel were featured in BBC Radio 4′s Moneybox program on 11 February 2012 and in a statement to the BBC, they pretty much laid the responsibility of understanding exit, transfer and sublet fees with the home owner.
They are of the opinion that residents should have been advised by their solicitor of these fees prior to completing on the property.
If you missed the broadcast, you can catch it again via our YouTube channel that has enabled us to incorporate the program within this article.
Today, TTAS becomes all philosophical and discuss the changes that have occurred within the leasehold sector in recent years.
We also discuss how good management companies are unfortunately tarnished with a bad reputation before they’ve even worked with residents due to our experiences in the past.
We discuss why we’ve heard very little in regards to the sell of Peverel and the possible problems Vincent Tchenguiz is encountering trying to sell freeholds.
We also discuss a new direction for TTAS and how we want to hear from more people that have escaped their property management company and are enjoying life once again.
The topic of conversation relating to ARMA and managing agents has raised the question of what the best way is to choose a managing agent.
In light of this, we publish a contributors take on the process to follow when choosing a new managing agent.
Whilst we also publish e-mails from residents that need help in their battle with Peverel/OM Property Management.
Today we discuss the cost of ARMA membership to property management companies and explain the conditions that managing agents must abide to when becoming members.
These conditions contain a couple of interesting points that may be beneficial to residents battling their managing agent.
Residents have told us how disappointed they have been when they’ve turned to ARMA for assistance.
Today, we publish the views of ARMA members who told us that they feel pressured to be ARMA members, predominantly so that they can be considered for large development contracts at the tendering process.
We’re pretty sure that we’ll upset one or two in ARMA, when we suggest that all ARMA members should cancel their membership and save their money.
Charter Quay’s LVT hearing were told by Peverel / OM Property Management that they problems CQ faced were unique to London developments and that other sites nationwide hadn’t the same problems.
With this in mind, we publish stories of new contributors that have got in touch to tell us about their woes and concerns.
Including one resident that has had to take out a loan to pay their service charges.
