Our block had a drains issue.

Our block had a drains issue.
Stuart our property manager dealt with the problem immediately with no fuss or drama. Plumbers were on site within hours and problem solved.
Well done Stuart.
As a footnote, the problem recurred over the weekend, but the plumbers returned first thing Monday morning and fingers crossed everything works as it should.
So overall, really impressed and happy with Stuart at JCF

Good management and great project delivery

Our property has been managed by JCF for several years and we recently have a new property manager who has been managing our day to day and also the delivery of a large maintenance project. Stuart has done a fantastic job in coordinating both and has made the process so much smoother through efficient style, good communication and general positive, can-do attitude.

Elena Pletea is OUTSTANDING.

Elena Pletea continues to be outstanding. She is always prompt and helpful and really tries her best to ensure you get all the assistance or clarification that you require. Over the years, there have been several management companies in charge of the property, but I never wrote a review because quite frankly, there was nothing to praise…until Elena arrived. I have never met her in person, yet all our interactions have been very personalised, whilst still being professional.She genuinely cares about her clients/residents. I can’t commend her enough!

I have found this management company to go over and beyond extremely professional and live by the law of the land which I really like and appreciate .

I have found this management company
Very professional incredibly efficient and very quick to get back to any questions that I asked of the company.
Howard Nicholson has been very knowledgeable and always on hand with any questions and also extremely professional and always helpful.
Also the director David Grieves has a very family oriented vibe to their company which I’ve always liked.
I would recommend them to anyone looking to have their homes maintained and looked after.

Good management

We have been in the flat for5/6 years.
The first few years were frustrating , trying to get issues sorted.
Now we have an efficient and understanding manager Chloe. Issues are getting more attention, and being sorted. One hopes this will continue ,as the block needs to be brought up to and maintained to a reasonable standard.

Excellent Managing Agent - Highly recommended

Excellent Managing Agent – Highly Recommended

As a director of a shared freehold, we onboarded JCF in 2023 and cannot recommend them more highly. Their communication is exceptional, and our property manager, Oliver Hall, is highly qualified, consistently professional, and incredibly helpful. He responds rapidly to any situation, ensuring smooth and efficient management. JCF offers competitive pricing while delivering a high-touch, responsive service. We’ve been thoroughly impressed and would be very happy to provide a reference on request.

Dedicated and hardworking property managers

I live in Hardwicks Square which is a challenging client for JCF. The blocks are over 20 years old and there are often aspects of the buildings which need fixing. On top of that, we have had a significant cladding issue to resolve, which has involved seeking finance from the Government in order to do the work and make the flats safe to live in and retain their value for those who own them. This project is nearing completion after nearly 5 years of work. We could not have done this without Elena's hard work and dedication. There are been numerous, unforeseen hiccups and unexpected twists and turns in the building works and she has tirelessly and relentlessly kept the project on track. She has been our guardian angel without whom we may never have got to this point. I cannot thank her and JCF enough for going above and beyond to help us during this difficult period. The finish line is nearly in sight! Thank you JCF

Elena is one of the kindest, most efficient agents I have dealt with to date. Things get done and she is always available to talk when needed no matter how small or big the problem is. I cannot recommend her enough.

Avoid to all costs

JCF required access to a flat to perform maintenance, their approach was demanding with suggestions that if no person was present there would be financial penalties. As the work was expected to take most of the morning I organised my schedule to comply. I was informed at 21:00 the evening before that the parts were unavailable. Surely this was known much earlier. A new date was set. This time I was informed that the new parts were incorrect, I found this out at 16:00 having waited all morning for the work to start. I phoned Molade, no answer, phoned David Graves, no answer. JCF have little consideration for their clients and no need to apologise for their actions. No doubt I will be served an Unreasonable Behaviour policy for complaining, meanwhile I expect to see 3 or 4 glowing reviews on this website in the next week to retain their 4.3 rating.

I note you have decided to leave a one star review and given the circumstances I consider it necessary to respond stating the JCF view.

The work required to replace fire detection equipment in each of the flats was initially organised by JCF but the access arrangements for the second visit by the contractor were handled entirely by one of the residents. It was unfortunate that the contractor discovered on arrival that the work was slightly more complicated than first thought and required a new part to be ordered for all of the flats. The contractor decided to abort his visit as the work could not be completed. I am sorry that you were not informed of this until later in the day. JCF were not involved in the day’s events and thus I consider the 1–star review you have left JCF is unjustified.

I would like to make it clear that despite what you say JCF have every regard for their clients, and we endeavour to make communications a strong priority. It is unfortunate that your call to the property manager Molade went unanswered as he is currently away on annual leave. I did not pick up on your voicemail until the next morning as I happened to be in back-to-back meetings all afternoon. Having listened to your message the next morning I made enquiries and discovered that JCF were not actively involved in any part of the contractor visit. Please do also note that if the property manager is not immediately available, you can of course always call our main number so any of our property management team can assist you. I am sorry that your time was wasted and would hope that next time you are told immediately if there is any problem or delay with the important work needed to fire detection equipment.

I live in a block of flats that has been competently managed by JCF Property Management for several years

I am a Lessee and a director of the residents' association, living in a block of flats that has been managed by JCF Property Management for several years. We Lessees own a share of the Freehold and therefore it is essential that the flats covered by the Freehold are properly maintained and that audited annual financial returns are submitted to Companies House in a timely fashion. On account of the large number of individual flats, we employ the services of the reputable and trustworthy property management company JCF Property Management, who facilitate health and safety inspections, gather all the financial information required for annual statutory returns and also negotiate our essential buildings' insurance packages. This is something residents cannot deal with on their own. Also there are basic maintenance issues, which are dealt with by JCF, who provide a good reporting system. We have a dedicated property manager called Oliver H, who is very responsive and competent. I can only speak for my own experience, which has been very good. Remember, all these property managers have a portfolio of properties to deal with and they respond as quickly as is feasibly possible to each request.

I am in a leg cast and have been unable to leave my flat for over 2 weeks as the only lift has been out of service. I am scared if there is a fire. Company keep telling us that there are delays but that doesn’t change the fact there is no lift. Have not been able to go to the supermarket or order food delivery as they will not come up the stairs.

Dear Mr Steele,

We are very sorry to receive your review. We unfortunately haven’t been able to identify which property you are referring to based on your review and so we have sent a request to you via TrustPilot to try and make contact, but haven’t received a reply. We are aware of a lift in one of the buildings that we manage having had a fault, but this has been fixed, tested, and is now fully operational. In general, what we can say is that for the rare occasions that a lift has a fault, we immediately contact the lift management company who will attend the property to assess the fault and they will then typically order the necessary replacement parts for them to install. Dependiing on the nature of the fault, this can take them a little time, with safety obviously being paramount. Additionally, related to the issue of safety, if there was ever a fire as you mention, all residents would be required to use the stairs and not the lift. If you would like to contact your property manager for more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

I am a property manager

I am a property manager, and deal with block management companies often which is tough as there is a lack of communcation and poor attitude. I have for the first time had the most pleasant experiance in a property of mine dealing with Joshua Harvey. I reported an issue that was not an block issue, but an issue flat to flat just for some assistance. He went out of his way to ensure he was on top of it and followed up twice with me to ensure the issue would get resolved. His communcation was positive which is not often found! Many thanks Josh.

Dear Roland,

We fully understand your frustrations. As you know, the lift maintenance company have been out to the lift to replace the faulty parts and unfortunately, in doing so, an additional issue was diagnosed that requires further parts, which have also been ordered and the lift maintenance company are awaiting them. We are in constant contact with the lift maintenance company to ensure they are ready to fit the new parts when they arrive. Obviously our first priority is that the lift is fully checked, tested, and safe, though we do appreciate any time with the lift out of operation is difficult for residents and the lift maintenance company are in no doubt that fitting the new parts is a priority as soon as they receive them. With this in mind, we are obviously saddened to receive a 1 star review.
