The speed and efficiency of Jamesie when I need anything has been beyond helpful at times of great stress. Without his help, the sale of my flat has the potential to fall through. He always comes back quickly and when he says he will. Great customer service, thank you!

JFM Block and Estate Management - DO NOT USE

After discussions with JFM, I found that they listened and remedied issues. A couple of their staff members that I interacted with were very helpful.

Nobody would care LESS about your property as JFM!

One of the worst management companies existed. The only thing they can do efficiently is to get into your pocket for more money. The service charge is rising every year well above inflation (5-10, sometimes 20%) for absolute zero service!

Our tenants lived with leaks and mould for years! They just simply never return calls and emails. They hire cheapest labour to make some repair work but charge you premium. The result looks shabby a month later but they just do not care. Make yourself a favour – never use those cowboys.

Jamesie Adams went above and beyond to help me solve a problem I thought I would have never found the answer to. They were efficient, quick to respond, thorough, and easy to work with. I am thankful for their support!

Hi Margaret,

Thank you so much for the lovely 4-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that Mr. Adams was able to sort everything out for you so efficiently – and that the handwritten note added that personal touch! We do like to think of it as our secret weapon.

Apologies for the delay in responding – we’ve been a bit caught up in the post-Christmas whirlwind (who knew it would take this long to recover, right?!). But we’re back in action and ready to assist!

Thanks again, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything further. We’re always here to help!

Great Service and Professional

Since the new appointment of the Managing Agents JFM in the summer. I have seen a great improvement not only on the grounds but the professionalism being exhibited towards ALL of the residents at BR. What has been a great improvement since JFM has been appointed, is when you raise a matter of concern pertaining to a service there response is reactive and they are keen to resolve the matter and keep you informed of the outcome. My experience with JFM thus far has been an excellent one and I am extremely happy that I can raise matters of concerns with confidence and know that it will be resolved swiftly. The Assistant Property Manager -Jamesie has been excellent , keep up the great work.

Fast and efficient.

Fast and efficient.

I recently acted on behalf of a seller where JFM are the management agent. Jamesie Adams was my direct contact and he was very professional and responded to enquiries (and there were a lot!) in a very polite and efficient way which enabled our sale to progress extremely quickly from receipt of the LPE1. I'm very impressed with their service.

Jasmin David is always on the ball and responsive to emails the same day, she knows how important cash flow is and always insuring our invoices are paid in a timely manner, by doing this it insures our staff are paid on time and we can pay for supplies to keep the blocks looking in tip top form. This is my third review on staff at Jfm and i continue to be blow away by the service!

Hi Mr. Burton,

Wow — what a wonderful review to revisit! Even though it’s been a few months since you posted this (yes, we know… it’s July now 😅), your kind words still shine just as brightly as Jasmin’s efficiency!

We’re thrilled to hear that her quick responses and commitment to smooth cash flow have made such a difference. She really does have a sixth sense for keeping things on track — invoices paid, supplies sorted, and staff smiling!

Thank you for leaving your third review (we're starting to think you deserve your own loyalty card 😄). Your continued support means the world to us!

Hi Debbie,

We might be a little late to the party (fashionably late, of course — it is July 😅), but your kind words for Jamesie absolutely made our day!

She really is a gem — easy to work with, always cheerful, and somehow manages to get things done before we've even asked. We completely agree she’s a total asset (though we’re a little biased 😉).

Thank you so much for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience with JFM. We’re lucky to have amazing clients like you — and Jamesie too!

A YEAR of chasing for the air con liscence, still not done

It's been 11 months of chasing for the air con liscence. Pretty sure this liscence is a made up thing to suck the money from the residents. I've been waiting for a YEAR and its still not done - no sane person will tolerate such gazlighting and toxicity from the managing agent. Absolutly ridicilous i have to write here to motivate JFM to reply to my emails. CAN I HAVE MY LISCENCE I PAID FOR PLEASE?

Hi Henri,

We might be over half a year late… but we promise the appreciation is still very fresh! 😅

Thank you so much for your kind words about Daniel — he truly is one of the kindest (and most polite!) people we know, and we’re so happy to hear his care and timely responses have made such a positive impression over the years.

We’ll be sure to pass this along to him — though knowing Daniel, he’s probably already replied to your review in his head and drafted a thank-you email just in case 😄

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience — we’re lucky to have both Daniel and residents like you!

Outstanding

I have been very impressed with JFM since they took over as the managing agent for my development. They are a breath of fresh air compared to the previous agent. Jamesie, in particular, is fantastic—very responsive, quick at delivering, and truly understands the issues affecting the residents. I trust that he and his team are doing their best to manage the development properly

Improved customer service

I had a question about level of service charges so I sent an email to the property manger. The email was sent round to credit control, account and some other people but no reply from any one. Poor customer service. Thinking applying to tribunal

10/01/2024 update

I had a call from JFM and we managed to settle the dispute in service charges. It was a nice gesture and they went out of their way to sort the problem.
