Trustpilot0 stars!!!
Plumlife housing, 0 stars!!!Don’t use them, they make promises and don’t deliver, they take your money (£500 reservation fees) and if for any reason your mortgage falls through half way, they will promised you a refund if you release the plot then never refund you!!!Scammers!!! They promised a refund and i have it in writhing then they say ( you lost the sale and we made an error sorry no refund!!!I’m going through small court with them

TrustpilotAbsolutely disgraceful
Absolutely disgraceful. Charge very excessive service 'maintainance' monthly fee for flats and all they do is once a month hoovering of communal areas, never do outdoor repairs despite a dozen phone calls, hardly ever answer any calls. I have recently had to sell late mother's property at a greatly reduced price because so many potential buyers put off by excessive service charge, they have no shame. High charge for crap minimal service, disrespectful attitude. They need reporting to the ombudsman.

Great service, explanations and patience with first time buyers from Ian. He went through everything in plenty of detail. We appreciated the good mortgage brokers and solicitors that he advised.

TrustpilotAbsolutely atrocious service
Absolutely atrocious service, We paying for a service that no one on this dump of estate have seen. The lady just said that everyone wants to clean their own shared drives which is an absolute lie as I share wattsap with a load of people on the estate and no one has said that! She said it would push the price up if they were to come and de-weed the shared driveways. If you refuse to pay the service charge your mortgage company won’t let you renew without the balance you owe being paid, it’s an absolute joke and they are breaking their contract of not doing any work what’s so ever on this estate but I expect they will have the cheek to try and put their charges up in April. These estate managements are am the biggest con going and if I had known the pit falls and the cons of these companies, I would keep away. Who wants to buy a house with a service charge when the area is over grown and filthy. They only got the one star as it wouldn’t let me comment until I had given a star rating. They don’t deserve any stars at all😡

TrustpilotPlumlife Shared ownership has cost me thousands of pounds wasted
So shared ownership has cost me more than my mortgage costs me - I've been totally screwed by Plumlife's shared ownership scheme. Their rent is over £300 a month and my mortgage is £280. I had an issue with the roof after a storm and they said the buildings insurance didn't cover the damage so I forked out £500 to fix it - This should have been covered by them but they refused to allow my claim. The maintenance of the paths and fencing in the common areas is just terrible, they pay the contractors pennies and charge a fortune for this on the accounts. They think we're stupid. Well I suppose we are because their shared ownership schemes are a complete rip off. Don't ignore this because I would have loved to be positive about shared ownership and Plumlife but the cost of rent and if I wanted to pay for the other 50% means it's been a very expensive and bad decision.

TrustpilotPlum Life are easily the worst building…
Plum Life are easily the worst building managers I’ve ever had. They do not have the skills for the job of managing and maintaining a large II* listed brutalist building that is Park Hill. Instead they facilitate it’s decline by engaging the crappiest contractors they can find, not supervising or ensuring work is done to a satisfactory standard, and ignore resident queries and complaints. I’m not talking minor items here, I’m referring to, for instance, insisting on using: a heating contractor who have no training whatsoever in the management of our buildings District Heating System; a ‘gardening’ firm who have systematically killed off much of our lovely landscape-architect-designed gardens; a lift firm who left our main lift not working for 8 out of 12 months in 2019; electricians who seemingly cannot change light globes leaving large sections of the estate in the dark; waste contractors who don’t provide enough bins for our needs, window cleaners who randomly miss windows they are meant to clean etc. Do not believe a thing on Plum Life’s website. They are not a professional building management company instead their service is completely amateurish. Avoid them at all costs.
