Customer care standards need to be significantly improved
I am concerned that, when work is undertaken, Speirs Gumley appear to rely too heavily on the contractor’s assurances without carrying out sufficient follow‑up to confirm that the work has been completed to an acceptable standard. Communication between the Property Management Company and owners regarding planned or upcoming works is also lacking.
Given that costs are shared among more than 100 owners, it sometimes feels as though the level of scrutiny applied to expenditure is not as rigorous as it would be if the funds were their own. Greater consideration should be given to whether the proposed costs are reasonable and proportionate before authorising repairs.

Unresolved issues
Most of the issues we have been reporting over the months have not be resolved, namely, tiling at front, intercom, cleaning of backyard stairs, priming of backyard decking, cleaning of close windows, to name but a few. Most have been pending over a year

Good Morning,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear the repair matters are taking longer than you expected to resolve. We can see that your property manager has been in regular contact with you and has explained that some of the issues, such as tiling and decking maintenance can't be done in the cold weather, and will need to wait until Spring.
For other items, we need to obtain quotations from third-party companies. We note your concerns and your Property Manager will continue to keep you updated on the items that don't require the warmer weather.
Kind Regards,
Speirs Gumley
Prompt reply
I received a prompt reply from Speirs Gumley and the exchange was pleasant and efficient.
My complaint, main door of building security concern, was dealt with fast and I was satisfied with the response. Time will clarify if the right decision was taken and the problem resolved in long term.

Good Afternoon Claire,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We understand your frustration at the overbilling of electricity at your property and we understand your property manager has been in regular contact with you to explain this is due to poor cellular signal in the property preventing the smart meter from sending meter reads to the supplier. Without the reads, the supplier can only issue estimated invoices.
Your property manager has advised you that he has visited the property and taken manual reads which he submitted to the supplier and we await a revised invoice. He has also advised you that the electricity cost on your account has been placed on hold and you are not being asked to pay this until the revised bill is received from the supplier.
If you would like to discuss this any further, please don't hesitate to contact your property manager directly.
Kind Regards,
Speirs Gumley

Good afternoon,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We understand your frustration regarding your insurance claim but wish to clarify that the excess applied is for your claim to reinstate water damage to your property, not for tracing a common leak.
If you have any questions regarding your claim or the proposed specification of reinstatement work, please don't hesitate to contact our Insurance Team, who will be happy to go through it with you.
Kind Regards,
Speirs Gumley

Terrible company
Terrible company. Issues never get dealt with despite repeated emails, unble to manage the development over what should be simple things to control.
They don't come out to inspect the development in person. Communication is poor, take forever to repond to emails. Issues never actually get resolved, and they take no ownership. This has been the case over the last 9 years.

Positive experience
I’ve had very positive experience of working with our contact in Speirs Gumley.
There’s always someone at the end of the phone to answer queries, and work being done to our building has been progressed efficiently allowing for the length of time it takes to get in quotes and get replies from owners!

Moved out and been messed around still
Moved out and been messed around still
I moved out of a property managed by them in July and agreed to pay for any work scheduled before I moved out to fix an issue with the roof in the neighbours property. This was communicated to the factors directly. After 5 months of me emailing and been told there were no outstanding repairs and receiving a substantial refund, I received an email stating there was an outstanding bill for £150 on the 22nd of July. Completely messed around, mislead and down right bad service. Zero trust and seems like they are just after money...would be so careful when doing business
23/1- this review has been responded to but not my emails

Reply from Speirs Gumley
Good Morning Mr Steele,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
Unfortunately, we were not aware of the agreement between you and the purchaser that you would pay for works carried out after the date you sold the property. So when our Property Manager told you there were no outstanding repairs/bills, this was based on works done up to the date you sold, as is standard.
Once you confirmed that you had agreed to pay the cost of the works carried out after your sale date, as part of the sale conditions, the Property Manager apologised and corrected the billing.
We apologise for any inconvenience this caused but assure you our intention was not to mislead you.
Kind Regards,
Speirs Gumley
Repair or Replace?
Quick, helpful and efficient response as usual.
4 stars instead of 5, however, as the stair door handle repair is still loose and it's only a matter of time before we have another reoccurrence of the problem.
A fully secured replacement handle would have been more preferable than constant repairs to a persistent issue that has been attended several times now.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the recent handle repair and the property manager has taken this on board and will look at alternative door handles.
