Staggering Ineptitude!

The ineptitude of this Management company or rather, mismanagement is quite simply staggering. No projects are ever completed in a timely manner. I've been a resident at Blu Bracknell for over three years and only now have the common area carpets been deep cleaned! They were such in such an appalling state previously. The massive rat infestation continues to pose a serious problem to health and safety and especially children whose play areas are in the vicinity of the bins - after repeated requests to improve and secure the bin areas making them inaccessible to rodents - this only falls on deaf ears. The window cleaning service is likewise appalling and the lift is frequently out of service rendering life at Blu Bracknell impossible for the elderly or disabled. All of this is compounded by the spate of thefts and acts of vandalism at Blu Bracknell where residents frequently have parcels stolen from the common areas and Zone Management's reluctance to install CCTV to serve the best interests of residents and keep them safe. Lastly, Zone Management have embarked on a ludicrous scheme appointing Parking Control Management to monitor the car park and fining residents in the event their allocated bay is occupied by another vehicle and they’re obliged to park elsewhere in the residential car park. Zone Management are actually instructing residents to park off site on the main road adjacent to the apartment complex where visibility for oncoming motorists is extremely limited and posing a serious threat to life to any driver of a vehicle emerging or turning into the property. The alternative - as explained by Zone Management is for residents to purchase a "scratch card" and to park in a visitor bay! The purchase of scratch cards also applies to any resident wishing to have a visitor on site! And the number of scratch cards available for purchase (not cheap) annually is limited restricting the number of visitors a resident may have! Lastly and by no means least - Zone Management are advertising the rental of unoccupied bays to residents with a second vehicle for hundreds of pounds each month! Prior to PCM monitoring the car park in the early hours of each morning parking was never an issue at Blu Bracknell. Other issues .....intercom system has never been operable and visitors unable to ring the bell to my flat. The concierge I was promised who would receive parcels never materialised and who actually decides to place light coloured carpeting in common areas???!!!!!

Hi Lou,

Your review is not in context and provides false and incorrect statements

Parking control
We had complaints of people parking on curbs, pavements, blocking front doors and blocking fire doors. It was completely out of control. We had residents who wanted to enforce a stricter parking code on the site and it is something the freeholder wanted also. Unfortunately we cannot please all, but we needed to uphold the correct parking rules. You have your allocated parking space you bought with the property, to use additional spaces outside of this allocation is your responsibility and not ours. We actually approached the freeholder to
increase your visitor parking allocating from 4 to 14.

A ‘profiting scheme’ is completely false and our solicitors will be in contact regarding your claim and other false accusations. The freeholder owns the freehold of the spaces and wants to sell or rent spaces, this is perfectly within their remit. We never instruct people to park off site.

Pest control and bins
We have pest control on the development since we took over, but the site is the worst we have in terms of how the residents keep the bin store which heavily contributes to the issue. We secured the bin stores this year also, so your claim on not securing the bin stores is incorrect.

We now have a contractor attend the bin stores on a weekly basis to clean the bins and put the correct waste in the correct bins, they also collect bulk waste on a week let basis. If you could advise on how to ensure residents keep the bins in a good condition and put the correct waste in the correct bins, then please get in touch.

Carpet
We have been managing the site for one year so referring back to 3 years doesn’t make sense. Also the light coloured carpet was the developer’s installation and has nothing to do with us and will be added to our case. We also completed a carpet clean this week… so it is not in keeping with your comments

Lifts
We have a service contract with the lift manufacturer who installed the lift (for obvious reasons) the lift needs significant work which involves new parts to be ordered, to which is on a lead time. We have no control on this, unless you have any other suggestions?

CCTV
You purchased your property without CCTV. Unfortunately we have limited control of theft, other than ensuring all the entrances are secure. We are looking into installing this, but we cannot magic funds into the service charge. We need to have a good reserve to install a system that benefits the site.

Intercom and concierge
You are referring to issues to when you bought your apartment three years ago, we have been managing for a year…. You do not pay for a concierge. This will also be reported for false information provided on an online platform.


Thanks team

Hopeless

Hopeless
1) bin areas absolute disgrace
2) intercom has never worked in 5years even though that was paid for on purchase of flat
3) bin areas full of rats because overflowing bins
4) no disabled access on any of the building
5) windows are much cleaner before the window cleaners have been
6) carpets in communial areas are disgustingly filthy
7) carpets in communial erraste equally disgusting filthy never been cleaned in 5 years
8) lift is out of service for weeks at a time
9) service charge get put up to what ever they want but nothing gets replaced
Overall very unsatisfying as all we get from zone there’s no money even though we pay quite a sum for this lack of service

Hi Emma

Sorry you have written this review, but like your fellow resident on the review before, points are not a fair or valid reflection on our performance for the following reasons:

Bin area
You refer to overflowing bins, but that is the behaviour of people living on the site.

When we first took over the bins were nothing like we have seen before. We have a contractor attend the bin stores on a weekly basis to clean the bins and put the correct waste in the correct bins, this costs money

We have sent numerous reminders to residents and will need to increase the contractors visits to twice weekly, again costing the service charge more money. We have even purchased additional bins to try and help with the waste.

Pest control
We have pest control on the development but the bin situation is a major contributing factor towards this issue. We have also have increased the contractors visits. The contractor we have onsite is used on many sites of ours and they cannot believe the condition residents leave the bin store

If you could advise on how to ensure residents keep the bins in a good condition and put the correct waste in the correct bins, then please get in touch.

Intercom
You are referring to the intercom on purchase, this should be directed to the developer not us. We have addressed this via a section 20 and we are waiting for the funds to come in to upgrade the intercom to a wireless system. We have completed lots of projects like this on others sites, but it all depends on the sinking fund on the site. Unfortunately when we took over your site a year ago there was not a sufficient reserve to complete the works.

Carpet
We have been managing the site for one year so referring back to 5 years doesn’t make sense. We also completed a carpet clean this week…

Lifts
We have a service contract with the lift manufacturer who installed the lift (for obvious reasons) the lift needs significant work which involves new parts to be ordered, to which is on a lead time. We have no control on this, unless you have any other suggestions?

Window cleaning
We have had two different contractors on the site and have had positive feedback on the last contractor, only today. We are always open to receive feedback from contractors following on from a visit.

The issues you have raised are completely out of our control, we respond quickly, so to have this review is incredibly disappointing considering the reasons above and how much time we spend on the site trying to fix these issues. The service charge is reflective on the costs incurred on the site.

Sophie will be in contact with you shortly.

Many thanks Team Zone.

We have provided Health and Safety services to Zone Property Management for the last 3 years (Ablemarsh Safety Consultants Ltd). Ellie and the team are a pleasure to work with. They are well organised and everything always goes smoothly. I hope this relationship continues long into the future.

Very happy to work with Zone Property Management

We have worked as contractors for Zone Property Management, providing fire risk assessments (Ayassessments Ltd). We have communicated with Ellie in the office and she has always been super helpful, providing us with all the necessary documents ahead of our inspections and being forthcoming with any keys and codes, and it's really refreshing to work with a prompt, organised and professional company.

Today the lock of my front door went and I was unable to access my property. James Magri from Zone responded very promptly to my plea for urgent help. Contractors ABC were on site within a few hours and obtained quick access and replaced my locks. It was extremely stressful and Zone really helped me today hence the 5 star rating for maintenance issues.

Timely Response

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for James Magri's assistance in resolving an issue. Without his help, the resolution of the matter would not have been possible.

Once again, thank you so much for his contribution to bringing about a positive outcome.

Zone Property Management - 5 star

Zone Property Management has been my property manager for a number of years now. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the services they provide. I would like to give a special mention to my property manager Andie, who from the first day has gone above and beyond to ensure that all our needs are met and that our property is well taken care of. Her attention to detail and ability to quickly resolve issues has been very impressive - 5 stars.
