About Firstport

We had wooden balconies that rotted and eventually taken down
After much to and froing we managed to save the required amount
We were given photographs to choose design
The finished product bears no resemblence to the picture we voted upon
Now they are too heavy for the walls to bear
The balconies have all been constructed by the fabricator
The surveyor and designer appear difficult to get hold of Surprise Surprise!

Can you kindly supply me with the Email address of the Firstport CEO Many Thanks

Editor,

We received the service charge budget for the period 01.04.2025 to 31.03.26 recently. The first thing that struck me was that the reserve fund had reduced from £86,882 to £58,794.94 in only one year.

On closer analysis it has become clear to me that this lower figure is over stated.

I spent five minutes and using the back of a fag packet (hypothetical) calculate that this years service charge demand is under estimated to the tune of about £12,954.69 when including past known actual costs.

If my analysis is remotely correct, this will result in one of two things, or both, either a deficit letter being issued to all Leaseholders or a future significant increase in service charge.

More to follow on the issue of "sellers packs" or lack of in a timely manner, or perhaps not at all?

From the humblest of beginnings a few brave people stood up to Peverel/Firstport the all conquering arrogant company that systemically set out to cheat leaseholders for their own financial gain.
One of the first of the victories against Peverel/Firstport came at Weekday Cross, Nottingham where Firstport were forced to repay several hundred thousand pounds in overcharges.
We owe the forerunners in our campaign so very much. Let us not forget the likes of Ken Kilminster, Chas Willis, Melissa Briggs and the sacrifices they made on behalf of all of us. Remember websites such as The Truth About Solitaire, who were campaigning long before NLC came along.
Now all these years later, we literally have thousands of leaseholders who have risen up against Peverel/Firstport. Finally, MP's from all parties have woken up to the realities of Firstport management is for leaseholders.
There is now an unstoppable movement against Firstport that Firstport may defend against but will ultimately overwhelm them.
Firstport are fire fighting in every part of the UK.
Our campaigning efforts have born fruit as evidenced by the number of developments that have carried out a Right to Manage and sacked Firstport, forcing them to buy up rival managing agents to keep up their market share.
Developers on new build estates are increasingly getting nervous about appointing Firstport as bad publicity engulfs Firstport.
Originally, Peverel/Firstport were purchased by the Tchenguiz Family Trust for £500m. A few years later, having collapsed into administration and after transferring £125m of debt into a related company, Peverel/Firstport were purchased by Electra for £62m. Roll on a few years, and Emeria came along and whilst the exact purchase price has remained confidential, the price is very unlikely to have been over £15-£20m.
Keep going everyone. Now is the time to exert the maximum pressure on Firstport. Firstport must be put out of business. Let us all stick to that task. Give Firstport no quarter and no breathing space.
