The worst block management experience…

The worst block management experience we've ever had. Battersea reach has been ruined by these atrocious people

Carlene Howard was the most helpful person I have had the privilege to speak with lately. I had been set an automatic booking that I was unable to attend. However, after a brief email and phone conversation with Carlene, she swiftly managed to rebook me on a more suitable date.
Many thanks for taking care of customer service in this way. We missed this in many other providers

Efficient - a real service - thank you!

Many thanks to the Admin team who were quick, friendly and efficient. I needed a copy of the block insurance schedule in order to effect and exchange of contracts on a clients sale. I can think of one national management company that takes 10 days to read your email let alone respond so quickly. I would recommend this management company and particularly the Admin team any time.

Excelent service

I had my flat front door inspected recently and I couldn't be happier with the service. Adrian was professional, respectful, and very thorough. He took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all of my questions with patience and detail. It was reassuring to know the inspection was done properly and that safety is being taken seriously. A big thank you for such a smooth and informative visit, truly appreciated!

Adrian was fantastic—punctual

Adrian was fantastic—punctual, polite, and clearly knew what he was doing. He made what I thought would be a boring inspection surprisingly reassuring. Everything was explained in plain English, no jargon. It’s great to have someone who takes safety seriously and still makes time to answer your questions with a smile. Top job!

Hi Claudiu,
This review made our day—thank you! Adrian will be chuffed to know his plain-English charm and inspection superpowers were appreciated! 🚪✨ We know these checks can feel a bit dull, so we’re delighted it felt more like a reassuring visit than a chore. We’ll pass on your kind words to Adrian—and maybe even print them out for his wall (or at least the staff room fridge 😄).

Very pleased with the front door inspection carried out last week. The inspector was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely at ease. He explained the process clearly and took the time to answer every question I had. It’s not often you come across someone so patient and professional. Excellent service from start to finish!

Special Mention to Lydia!

While working with JFM, I have worked with various members of the team across all their properties, and everyone has always been so amazing to work with. More recently, I have been working particularly closely with Lydia who has been fantastic! She always provides all the information I need, meaning that I can get the jobs resolved quickly as we don't have to have a back and forth with questions which can be rare! It really has been a pleasure to work more with Lydia, and I can't wait to see how to progresses while with JFM

Exceptional Assistant Property Manager at Battersea Reach

I’d like to highlight the excellent service provided by JFM Management at Battersea Reach. The team is consistently professional and attentive, ensuring a smooth living experience.

A special thank you to the Assistant Property Manager, Jamesie Adams, for their exceptional support. He is incredibly diligent, approachable, and consistently goes above and beyond to assist residents. Whether it was resolving an urgent maintenance issue or providing detailed guidance on community policies, his efforts made a real difference.

Such dedication and warmth are truly commendable. JFM Management is fortunate to have such an outstanding professional on their team!

Hi Kate,

Apologies for the delay – we promise we’re quicker at paying invoices than replying to reviews 😅

Thank you so much for the great feedback! It’s been a pleasure working with you and your team. We really value strong partnerships with contractors who share our commitment to doing things properly – and yes, on time payments are part of that (we know how rare that can be!).

Looking forward to many more smooth projects together. Thanks again for the kind words!

Hi there,

Firstly – sorry for the late reply, we were busy passing this lovely message along to Desere (who is now walking around the office like she just won an Oscar 🏆).

Thank you so much for your kind words! Desere is an absolute star, and we’re thrilled to hear she made such a positive impression. She really does go the extra mile to listen and get things done – it’s great to see that recognised.

We’ll make sure she keeps her superhero cape on for next time too!

Exceptional Property Management – Thanks to Ola and Rachid!!

We have had a fantastic experience with JFM. From day one, they have been professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to maintaining a high standard of service.

Ola, the property manager, has been an absolute pleasure to work with—always approachable, organised and quick to resolve any concerns.

Rachid, the onsite building manager, is equally outstanding. He’s incredibly hands-on, dependable, and keeps the building in excellent condition. Whether it's routine maintenance or unexpected issues, Rachid is always on top of it with a friendly attitude and a high level of care.

It’s clear that both Ola and Rachid take pride in their work, and it makes a big difference. I feel confident and comfortable knowing the Lewisham Gateway is in such capable hands.

Hi there,

First off – massive apologies for the delayed response! We were busy high-fiving Ola and Rachid after reading this (they’re still smiling, by the way).

Thank you so much for your kind words and detailed feedback – it means a lot to us. We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you’ve had such a positive experience at Lewisham Gateway. Ola and Rachid are a dream team, and we’re so lucky to have them steering the ship (and occasionally fixing it too!).

We’ll be sure to pass on your praise – though we may need to deflate their egos a bit afterwards 😉

Thanks again for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review!

JFM Management of apartment blocks

JFM, through Jake Marshall, is now listening to our concerns and coming up with solutions. I had an external unknown car parked at my allocated parking space. JFM was able to resolve this matter swiftly. We are now updated by email regarding their course of actions. This is very helpful as it gives us a chance to have a say in the management of our flats.

Hi there,

Apologies for the slow response – we promise we weren’t ignoring you, just fashionably late to say thank you!

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It’s great to hear that Jake was able to step in and resolve the parking issue swiftly – those sorts of situations are never fun, but we’re glad it was handled quickly and clearly.

We’re especially pleased to hear that the email updates have helped you feel more informed and involved. That kind of transparency is something we’re continuously working on, so it’s encouraging to know it’s making a difference.

Thanks again for your kind words – and for your patience in waiting for our reply!

Hi Cjwd,

Sorry we’re a bit late to respond – but we really appreciate your kind words!

We’re glad to hear our fire door inspection chap left a good impression (they do try their best not to just appear mysteriously and disappear without a word!). Keeping residents informed during visits is something we care about, so it’s great to hear that came across.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review – it genuinely means a lot.

Outstanding Service from JFM Block Management – Battersea Reach

I've had the pleasure of working with Catherine Adams and her team at JFM Block Management at Battersea Reach, and I can honestly say they are a breath of fresh air in the industry.

Unlike many other companies I’ve dealt with, JFM genuinely cares about the residents and the community. Their attention to detail is evident – the site is immaculate, and their commitment to high standards really shows.

Catherine and her team are professional, responsive, and a true pleasure to deal with. If you're looking for a premium block management service that delivers on its promises, I would highly recommend JFM.
