Doesn't look like there were any entrance signs in August 2021...

Are there any entrance signs now?

Is that the right car park, along Preston Rd Brighton? I'm not seeing any gated key fob entrance.

The gate is open in that picture. You can see the fob machine to to the right of the lamppost at the front.
To the right, again, is a gate for pedestrian entry and another fob placement.

But no signs.  No entrance sign.

Yes, that's the right car park.
The OP's earlier picture shows it is opposite Preston Park and the gate, fencing, trees and road markings confirm the exact spot.

The property management company should be at the very top of the list for any complaints, they are supposed to be working for you.

I always thought the PMC worked for the Freeholder ensuring the Freeholder complied with their responsibilities to the Leaseholders set out in the lease. Then backcharged the leaseholders for these costs minus the ground rent.

Of course, if the Freeholder (or PMC) has not been following the lease terms or misusing their status, there is always the courts or tribunals to make them comply.

AoS's have been submitted.

Im going to use the defense on this thread. https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/74708527#Comment_74708527

Can anyone suggest counterclaim advice? It seems like harassment as they are still sending debt notices about seperate instances of my bike being there. They are not just dealing it in one letter/claim

Surely you mean you will grab parts of that defence to slot into the 2022 Template Defence we advise everyone to use?

Ubersmush

That is correct.

Phew! I worried you were going to use an old 2018 defence in full, missing out everything that's happened with the DLUHC CoP and cases since then, and using the old statement of truth.

That 2018 defence is good to take certain relevant paragraphs from, though.

Cheers for that and your help so far. I have to admit it is daunting reading other threads and realising there is a lot of work ahead. I'm not sure this is a slam dunk and I'm a bit worried I'll still have to pay a lot of the costs after doing a lot of work. But I am enjoying learning more about the legal process. 

I talked with the property managers today but there is nothing they can do about it really. I'm not going to raise a fuss with them because we want a quiet life.

I have been looking in the forum for similar stories to mine where they won with so many claims at once. If you know of any similar threads to mine please do let me know.
