Poor and lacklustre. …

Really poor Factor for the development we have our home in. Not proactive, never honour their commitments or agreements, substandard management of the basics of the services. Cleaning, maintenance and repairs are awful.

Unprofessional bullies

These people are unprofessional bullies. Do NOT even think about dealing with them. I was part of the team who chose Ross + Liddell as our factors we have a large development to maintain.

Gill on live chat

Gill on live chat! Prior to this, I reported a problem with the stair lighting by phone on separate occasions (10th and 31st May). Was put through to person dealing with repairs and was told repair would be carried out within a few days. Eventually contacted Gill on Live Chat on 13th June and repair was completed within 24 hours. So well done Gill!

Claire from Ross and Liddell is always so professional, friendly and is very respectful and always makes sure the flat inspection is suitable for me as I work full time. And can be flexible if the time or date has to be changed.

Seeing your conversation, but not hearing .

The new chat line is very user friendly , but not everyone is comfortable using the system . Without real conversation , many users feel they fail to get their message of enquiry delivered clearly .

Unhelpful

Unhelpful. Pay money every month to them as factor fees and very little upkeep happens. Kids park in our estate is in a shocking state. When contact they said “yeah think someone is dealing with that”.

A company in complete disarray

The company is in complete disarray. Many of their property managers over the last couple of years have since left the company. Promise after promise is broken. No one appears to take ownership of resident requests for help and assistance

Absolutely shocking factor

Absolutely shocking factor, do absolutely nothing for the residents except hit them with huge bills.Never do a walk around the property, we have holes left by scaffolding on a previous works, but they expect residents to tell them about it instead of them checking the work from contractors that they appointed, so we will incur the cost of repair once again

Their customer service has really gone off a cliff in the last couple of years. Can’t get thru on the phone to anyone, and replies on their live chat simply toe the company line. Apparently they can now incur almost any expense on our behalf and without getting quotes, and without any consultation.

Terrible experience with Ross and Liddell: a money-grabbing nightmare

My experience with Ross and Liddell as a property factor has been nothing short of a nightmare. From the lack of clarity in their invoices to the constant feeling of being ripped off, this company has left me frustrated and disillusioned.One of the most frustrating aspects of dealing with Ross and Liddell is their complete inability to explain what exactly they are charging for. Their invoices are often vague and cryptic, making it impossible to understand why I am being asked to pay a certain amount. It feels like they take money for nothing and are not accountable for their charges.To make matters worse, even after leaving the property, I received additional fees from Ross and Liddell that simply couldn't be explained. It was as if they were plucking numbers out of thin air and expecting me to pay without any justification. When I reached out to them for an explanation, they were unable to provide any reasonable answer, leaving me feeling even more frustrated and taken advantage of. They even threatened court action after I asked for a full breakdown of costs.I strongly advise anyone considering purchasing a home where Ross and Liddell are the property factors to seriously rethink their decision. The extra costs associated with their services are exorbitant and unreasonable. It seems like they have no qualms about burdening homeowners with expenses that go well beyond the mortgage, without providing any transparent breakdown of the charges.The lack of transparency and accountability from Ross and Liddell is simply unacceptable. It's clear that their primary goal is to squeeze as much money as possible from unsuspecting homeowners, rather than providing genuine value for their services. If you value your hard-earned money and your peace of mind, I urge you to steer clear of any property managed by Ross and Liddell.My experience with Ross and Liddell has been a never-ending cycle of frustration and confusion. Their invoices lack clarity, they charge for unknown services, and their fees are outrageous. Save yourself the headache and consider alternative property factors that are transparent and accountable. Ross and Liddell's practices are questionable at best, and their services are not worth the financial burden they impose on homeowners.

No service other than their accounts

When a new property manager came on board she was clearly keen to do her job and I gave five stars for encouragement. Unfortunately, it would seem they've removed the layer of staff which actually talk to people and get things done - the only thing they did right! I'm afraid their service is non-existent. They even string out official complaints to last minute but when we cut a portion of their fee from our bill (advised in a complaint letter) we get a notice on 1st of the month! Amazing!! I would give a 0 if I could. Pick it up R&L!

How about the personal touch & pick up the phone

It unfortunately took me to raise a formal complaint before the issued was resolved, while I've been told work will commence it still hasn't but hopeful will be done by end of week

Mark · 14 May 2024

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Mr Cockburn, we note that our Operations Director responded to your recent complaint and apologised for our communication failures. She contacted you by telephone and agreed with your point that telephone conversations about ongoing matters are effective, and should be done more regularly. This has been communicated to our teams. We are also disappointed to note that the repair we instructed has not yet been carried out. We are liaising with the contractor for an updated start date and we will ensure that this is done as soon as possible. A member of our Repairs Team will be in touch with you this week with an update. Thank you for your patience.

this is not an appropriate alternative to emails or phone access for complex matters. this needs to be removed and other forms of communication need to be resourced appropriately to manage demand.
