Our Clients in the News

One of our clients has hit the news headlines this week. You can read the full story on the BBC News website.

A brief summary has been included below:

“We feel fleeced. I feel as if I pay a second council tax to live where I am.”

This is how Karen Stokes describes paying management company FirstPort to maintain land surrounding a small balancing pond near her home in Wigston, Leicestershire.

The private firm is responsible for cutting grass at the pond, designed to prevent flooding, and maintaining the bordering fence.

This year’s bill for the whole estate was £9,031 – £75 per household – and included contributions towards terrorism insurance.

Do you need help understanding how a managed estate works? Or to reclaim Service Charges incurred prior to handover? Or to secure control of your site?
