Appointed by Crestwood Estates Ltd (freeholder) · managing since 2019

Contracted to provide

Appointed by the freeholder, not the leaseholders. Residents report slow responses, unexplained service-charge rises and a missing Fire Risk Assessment — see complaints and the evidence vault.

Concerns we've identified

Service charge demand 2026: +48% over 2 years — well above CPI; potentially challengeable under s27A.
Annual accounts 2024-25: Insurance commission to agent not disclosed — query under transparency rules.
Correspondence with Halcyon (12 emails): Pattern of poor responsiveness — supports a s24 case if needed.
Fire Risk Assessment: MISSING — no current FRA provided by the agent. Statutory compliance gap.
