Massive thank you to Shanaz

We are electrical contractors that work with JFM. The Purchase Ledger Manager Shahnaz helped me out greatly and I cannot express my thanks to her enough.

We have been working with JFM for just over six months.

We have been working with JFM for just over six months now and Daniel has made such a difference to the way our building is managed. He is thorough, responsive and extremely professional.

It is a thankless task and so many people moan about service charge levels, but what they don't realise is that many buildings have not had investment for many years and that's what causes service charges to escalate. What JFM do is work with us as a board to review what needs doing and then we are building a plan to improve the building over time. Thanks everyone at JFM: keep up the excellent work!

Lauren in credit control

Experience of dealing with Lauren in JFM credit control is a pleasure compared to other agents I have dealt with in the past in other companies. She is on top of her work and executes instructions efficiently and diligently.

Avoid! Avoid at any cost!

Avoid! Avoid at any cost! Awful company, absolute disgrace! The only thing they do well and fast – issuing you with a service charge bill, which will be rising continuously. People in our estate selling flats and move because they cannot afford to pay them anymore for the service they do not provide. They NEVER return calls and never answer emails. Unless they see the opportunity to get into your pocket for more money. A complete and utter shambles of a company, unprofessional and arrogant.
DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR, DO NOT EVER USE JFM.

No response to complaints

The garage door in my apartment block has been broken for a number of weeks now and we have received no response from JFM Block & Estate Management despite paying them a hefty service charge!

Appalling Customer Service

JFM took over the running of the lease on my residential block in London a few years ago. The company is responsible for managing car parking spaces at Q Parks as part of that management contract. It has taken me 2 years and countless emails and calls to the company requesting that the car parking space was no longer needed by me. Despite this and repeated reassurances that this would be done the company has simply not facilitated this simple request and continued charging me for a space I did not need. These charges have accumulated over the last 2 years and now run into the many hundreds of pounds, with the company so far refusing to acknowledge their responsibility for overcharging for this. I have had to resort to legal proceedings to begin to resolve this issue which is costing a huge amount of time and expense. The arrogance and ineptitude of the Property manager at the company responsible for this situation, Maris Opa, is utterly unconscionable.

Excellent management and online tool

Been just over a year since I moved to my new place and have had very good engagement with our property manager Ami Patel who is always willing to respond to any queries. MyBlockman tool they use is very good as I can check latest communications online whilst still receiving postal letters.

A extremely poor service at Orbis Wharf. Delays and in responding to simple questions. Even making complaints to the so called complaints department is of no use as I am still waiting to see a response. Please heed these warnings.

Suspicious number of 5 star reviews…

Suspicious number of 5 star reviews from people with only 1 review on here.

JFM are useless. They ignore emails, leave ketters up in the communal areas that are from years ago, and charge a fortune. Since managing our building they have shown zero appetite to get rid of the dangerous cladding, or to install heat meters (it took a full year for them to send 2 letters, and when I pointed out how it could be improved I was ignored)

I know facilities management isn't known for attracting the best and brightest but really I don't understand how this building is managed. Turn around time to reply to mails is literally about 2 months.

Ami Patel

Having only recently had our Management Company changed to JFM, i have been pleasantly surprised at the efficiency of Ami Patel. She is prompt, clear and very amenable in all her communication and has made working with JFM an excellent experience.
