Front door fire safety upgrade works

During a routine annual fire safety check, it was flagged that the front door of the flat required some remedial work in order to meet Fire Safety Regulations going forward and we chose to carry out this work via JFM's contractor. Carlene at JFM was very responsive and liaised clearly and effectively with us throughout the process in order to ensure that the work was completed within our requested time frame. She also followed up efficiently in order to provide us with a copy of the engineer's report and compliance certificate.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback.

We’re very pleased to hear that the front door fire safety upgrade works went smoothly and that Carlene was able to support you clearly and efficiently throughout the process. Ensuring that properties meet current Fire Safety Regulations is extremely important, and we’re glad the works could be completed within your requested timeframe and that you received the engineer’s report and compliance certificate promptly.

We really appreciate your comments and will be sure to pass your kind words on to Carlene and the wider team.

This company has ruined our Lyon Square…
This company has ruined our Lyon Square block. They haven’t done any work compared to the service charges collected. I don’t know if the positive reviews are genuine. Heard they manipulate the reviews. The staffs are non responsive and useless. Use this company if you want to destroy your own property as they did ours. All the positive reveiws are fake and written by their own people, family & relatives.
The worst part is that they will threaten you with legal action to pay the bills which you are not liable off. Today I have reported you and the other parties to action fraud. Crime reference has been sent by email. Waiting to put in the media.

Very professional and competent company

JFM have provided a very professional block management team for a large development in London. Their professional approach to all matters comes through clearly, and their engagement with residents is both detailed and regular. They have had to deal with many complexities over the years within the development and continue to provide an invaluable service to the residents, working tirelessly alongside the resident directors. This has been especially appreciated for their hard work in resolving fire safety defects in the high rise blocks that make up the development. Their engagement and support in the pre sales enquiries has also been prompt and complete. I would highly recommend JFM for all their block and estate management services.

Poor communicators!

Unfortunately I've not had a good experience with this company managing my property. JFM have proven very difficult to communicate ever since they took over the management from Crabtree - who always did an excellent job, were extremely responsive, and kept us updated regularly. JFM are impossible to get hold of on the phone, and they don't respond to emails or voicemails. I myself have worked in property management for many years, but have never before worked with such poor communication before. Very disappointing indeed.

He took a couple of days to respond but, to me, that is acceptable as I appreciate the large number of customers he has to deal with.

Battersea Reach is JFM’s first major…

Battersea Reach is JFM’s first major residential and commercial appointment. While JFM are directly employed by St George, the Freeholder, it was in fact the Residents’ Association that requested their appointment, with the intention of establishing a closer and more collaborative working relationship.

JFM commenced at Battersea Reach in June 2024. Their performance to date has been mixed: in some areas they have delivered well, while in others they are still finding their footing. Greater knowledge in certain aspects, closer attention when overseeing projects, and clearer communication with the Residents’ Association are all areas that require improvement.

It should also be noted that three buildings at Battersea Reach remain under the management of another agent, as their Freeholder declined to transfer to JFM.

Looking ahead, it is anticipated that Battersea Reach may achieve Right to Manage within the next 1–2 years. If JFM demonstrate consistent improvement, the new RTM company may choose to retain them. It would therefore be in JFM’s interests to bear this in mind when making future decisions on behalf of leaseholders.
