zero confidence in this firm

zero confidence in this firm, never answer a phone, never in the office. noticed they charge for sublet fees when the lease clearly states they are not entitled to charge for a fee. I urge anyone who has paid a sublet fee to check their lease to see if JFM are entitled to charge or not.

Upsettingly poor service, disregard for leaseholders, extortionate fees

An astonishingly poor record of management of our site, including just in the past year:
- Refusing to provide FENSA certificates to newly fitted doors and windows. Leaseholders are as a result currently unable to sell their properties. JFM have not fully recognised their fault and responsibility to resolve this, despite huge pressure from leaseholders, and have not yet fixed this.
- Refusal to address significant and worsening loss of water pressure in the site despite numerous and sustained complaints from leaseholders. Even suggested that costs for resolving could fall on leaseholders on top of existing charges - what is our (massively increased) service charge for then?
- Ridiculous hiking of fees and overcharging with poor service and communication in return. A seeming disregard for the way their conduct affects people's homes and lives.

Alongside this, in recent correspondence on an issue JFM rudely dismissed my concerns as a leaseholder and made outright false and misleading statements.

Extremely upset and disappointed about their management of our site. Would absolutely not recommend them to any other sites seeking a prospective management company.

Thank you Adrian!

I wanted to drop a quick note to give some feedback on Adrian who just completed the fire door inspection for my flat. He was extremely professional and friendly. I feel confident that I know what needs to be done to the door to protect both myself and my neighbours! That is very reassuring. Please send him my thanks - he is a credit to your team.

Joshua Williams is great!

I am a solicitor and I acted for the owners of a flat on a sale. I can only comment on my contact with JFM during that time. And I can confirm it is positive! Joshua Williams was my main contact and he was super helpful and very quick with his replies

Shiwal Singh

Shiwal Singh. An exceptionally bright, talented, responsive, kind and customer centric Client Accountant who has transformed the financial management and reporting experience we receive from JFM. Aims to respond in a timely, polite and clear manner to requests for information, her Client is never left in an information vacuum wondering what is going on. A benchmark of performance that others should strive to achieve and when they do then, we would receive the award winning service marketed and we hope for. Keep up the great work Shiwal.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that Shiwal’s dedication and expertise have made a positive difference. We like to think of him as our secret weapon—always responsive, clear, and ready to tackle any challenge with a smile (and maybe a magic trick or two up his sleeve).

At JFM, we aim for service that’s nothing short of award-winning. We’re still waiting for that trophy, but your feedback definitely feels like a gold medal! Your kind words motivate us to keep raising the bar—and maybe even adding a few more fun surprises along the way.

Thanks again for your trust—here’s to many more successful collaborations and perhaps a few more laughs too!

JFM are stopping sales of properties in our development

JFM instructed a firm as part of the window and door replacement in our block to carry out the works. This firm has not provided the relevant FENSA certificates for these works well over six months later. They have been informed, repeatedly that without these certificates it will be impossible to sell any of the properties or even claim against warranty. JFM, specifically the Operations Director, Nick Gibbs has now palmed this situation off to the freeholder, Homeground but the situation remains the same. Leaseholders in the block are unable to sell their properties at this time.

Hi Robin,

Thank you so much for the glowing review!

We’re thrilled to hear the service was fantastic from start to finish — that’s exactly what we aim for (with just the right balance of brainpower and enthusiasm!). Being called "knowledgeable and eager to help" is music to our ears — we might even print that on a mug.

Really appreciate you taking the time to leave this – and we look forward to helping again anytime you need us.

A change for the better

JFM took over the management of our development a year ago, managing a 1200 apartment complex lease structure development is not an easy task.
I’m however quite pleased with the job that have done over the past year and I have certainly felt the change.
If I was to use a few words to describe them it would be “Slow but Steady”. Since they took over the improvement has been gradual but most importantly continuous. They are not without their pitfalls and they certainly could do a better job in communicating their plans but overall they are doing a rather good job.
Overall Catherine Adams is doing a rather good job and managing a well motivated team.

Hi Dr. Sheesh,

Thanks so much for the 5-star review — we’ll take “Slow but Steady” over “Fast and Chaotic” any day! 🐢✨

Managing a 1200-unit development is a bit like herding caffeinated cats with clipboards, but we’re glad the progress is showing. We hear you on communication — we're working on being less "mysterious" and more "master plan revealed."

Big cheers to Catherine and the team — they’ll be walking a little taller today after reading this!

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback — steady we go!
