Fernwood, Newark is a mixture of new build leasehold flats, freehold houses and local amenities.
Following the handover from David Wilson Homes to our friends Peverel/Firstport at the Fernwood, Newark development, their have been numurous complaints about poor service, high charges, lack of receipts and charges for work that was never done.
It is also understood that because the local authority don't want the responsibility of maintaining the Fernwod development, Peverel/ Firstport have been offered the chance to become the landlord.
Anyone who knows Peverel/Firstport will realise the implications of having Peverel/Firstport as both landlord and managing agent?
They are believed to have been awarded a 5 year contract to manage.
So bad has Peverel/Firstport management been that one property owner said He "Would rather burn his house down than have Firstport as landlord"
In a further demonstration of how badly residents have been let down, senior Peverel/Firstport managers have been called up to the Houses of Parliament to attend a meeting with the local Newark & Bingham MP, Robert Jenrick.
Mr Jenrick readPeverel/Firstport the riot act, telling them they must do better in future.
For their part Peverel/Firstport meekly replied "We could have done things better in the past"
