just can't believe I've been paying 18%
for several years. It's fully managed, but most to the things were done by shoddy workmen (all using the LAs contacts), had to change the front locks 2 times in 6 months. When I complained about the quality of work, I was told that he has so much experience and contacts and if I am not happy to provide my own workmen all this for 18% 0 -
19% is too high. I pay 0%. The trick is that you need to do a little work yourself. Essex has many large office buildings, factories, universities etc - try their noticeboards! Good luck!0

Southend - Im paying 7.5% plus VAT
Just been charged £72 plus VAT for sending a section 21...20 plus years as a mortgage adviser for Halifax (have now retired), and I have pretty much seen it all....:D0 -
LAs do rip you off in mysterious ways!
On top of paying 18% it was let for below the market value and repairs take ages, and expensive and only last a few days or weeks
Contacted all LAs hopefully will receive replies soon 0 -
