Apartment owners' fury at 'being told to cough up £2.2m for backlog of work' to rundown properties
Apartment owners say they have been told they can expect to foot a £2.2million bill for a backlog of maintenance and repair work to their rundown properties. The leaseholders of the 144 flats on the Canterbury Gardens estate in Eccles pay £186 a month in service charge but claim the property management company Onward Homes has failed to invest their money in routine fixes for years.
“Onward appears to have free reign to dismiss us and treat us as a money tree, while they decide on shoddy maintenance and repair standards, delayed responses, break promises and show no appetite to run the scheme in an efficient cost-effective manner,” she said. She also claims Onward was ‘picking and choosing’ if and when it responds to official complaints.
"The question is," said Henry. "What have they been doing with that money? They have told us they have been having to comply with fire regulations after the Grenfell tragedy, but look at the state of that store room." An Onward Homes spokesperson said: “Residents have previously made us aware of some issues relating to Canterbury Gardens and we have been working with them to resolve any questions.
