GoogleUB routinely ignore service & repair requests from leaseholders, even those marked "urgent" by their own system. No response yet to my most recent issue raised over a month ago (intermittently leaking ceiling for 2+ years causing mouldy carpet in common corridor) despite sending 4 follow up messages.
Our service charge is well above the regional and national average, and in return UB give us worse than the bare minimum. Recurring issues include the aforementioned leaky ceiling & mould, collapsed ceiling panels, dangerously loud and invasive false alarms, broken lift, building door not automatically locking resulting in unauthorised access. Our 2023 service charge breakdown contained an entry charged to leaseholders for communal window cleaning. Our building has no communal windows. Why are we paying for things that don't exist while issues that have existed for years are being ignored? I can't help but wonder how much more of our inflated service charge is fiction.
I expect our charges to be used to make repairs in such a way that they don't recur, but UB instead seem to patch over them and falsely tell us they're fixed only for them to re-emerge a few months later, billing the excess to leaseholders. When CS do respond they come off disinterested, defensive and unwilling to resolve the issues raised. If you want a property management company that takes you, your money and your wellbeing seriously I suggest looking elsewhere

Hi Jamie, We're sorry to hear about your frustration and the issues you've experienced. We've reviewed your concerns and can confirm that the roof leak has been repaired, and our team has been in contact with you regarding the carpet and mould concerns. Ceiling panel replacement will be scheduled once the leak investigation is fully complete. Regarding the communal windows charge, this was a historical entry that has since been removed from the budget following updated regulations and Director requests. It should no longer appear on your service charge. The lift has been operating correctly with no recent faults reported, and the building door issue was traced to the emergency release button being pressed inadvertently. We've now installed protective covers to prevent this happening again.
We've responded to all your emails and are currently awaiting a contractor's report on outstanding matters. We understand you may not agree with some of the responses provided, but we want to assure you that your concerns are being taken seriously and addressed. If you'd like to discuss any specific concerns further, please do get in touch with us directly. Thanks from urbanbubble

GoogleSubstandard property management services from a company that clearly prioritises its bottom line over the basic safety and maintenance it is contracted to provide.
While the vehicle gates have finally been fixed, they were previously left wide open for months due to poor maintenance, which almost certainly contributed to recent break-ins at the Castle Irwell development. It is staggering that a company collecting over £13,000 a month in service charges originally cited a lack of funds as the reason for the delay.
The issues are still endless. Although they provide a portal for logging maintenance, there is a consistent failure to follow through on what they say. As a homeowner, I feel like I constantly have to remind them to do certain aspects of their responsibilities. Offensive graffiti in the park remains for months, equipment stays broken, and litter picking is substandard.
They have also been incredibly slow to deal with residents disposing of bulky items despite there being a nearby recycling centre. Their only suggestion is to send letters, yet they refuse to affix signage to deter the behaviour. This lack of action has led to my personal garden waste bin being used by others for general waste when it has been left out for collection.
We are being nickel and dimed with separate charges for their own management app and confusingly itemised bills for staff pensions that should be consolidated. Furthermore, we are being charged a general property management fee alongside a separately allocated property manager fee, which is entirely nontransparent. Currently, the shared bins are overflowing as shown in the photo, which is just the latest example of their failure to manage the basics. Avoid this company if you value security and transparency.
Why should we have to live like this?

Hi Alex, we're sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration you've felt with the management.
We understand the concerns you've raised around the vehicle gates, bins, waste disposal, litter picking, graffiti and broken equipment. We are working hard to address them.
We've appointed a contractor to remove the excess waste and address the overflowing bins as a priority. Litter picking is being improved with clearer responsibilities and routine checks. The vehicle gates now have a specialist contractor maintaining them to a higher standard, and we're working to resolve the graffiti and equipment issues.
Regarding service charge transparency, we're happy to discuss the breakdown of charges with you directly if that would be helpful.
Please get in touch with us if you'd like to discuss your specific concerns further. Thanks from urbanbubble

GoogleAppalling management company! They all know to issue invoices, chasing money and applying late fees despite all the concerns raised with them. Complaints not being acknowledged or responded to, you have to chase them constantly for a response and they are incapable of checking internally. Increased management fees without even saying the reason why, still waiting to see the accounts from 2 years ago, never mind last year. AVOID at all cost, it's just a rip off!

GoogleApart from Nick, who has been ALWAYS punctual, attentive, caring & extremely helpful, the rest of the Company is a complete disaster! You just cannot rely on them, and the last example is the chaos and the awful situation they put me through after what it was supposed to be a basic & ordinary "fire inspection". They do really live in their own bubble, where customers' needs are not considered and poor service is their signature! And knowing that my landlord pays these clowns a big amount of money every Year to do NOTHING or make mistakes, it totally drives me crazy. WORST Company ever!!! Ps. Their replies in the last 2 days are only LIES and simply laughable! I would go out my way to discourage others from using this Company's services, PROMISE!!!
Ps. They are changing their name, finally. Urban Lazy Bubble!!!

Hi Ale. Thank you for leaving a review. As outlined in correspondence sent to you, the routine fire door inspection which took place within your apartment and the fact the fire alarm for the building sounded yesterday were unrelated matters. I am sorry for the inconvenience which was caused by the fire alarm sounding, however this happened beyond our control.
