No Department None 6. Building Safety (Wales) Bill: Evidence session 2 <p>Yes, Torsten Bell. He recently organised a 50 or 60-strong meeting in Swansea on FirstPort, and they have been eviscerated in terms of their service levels and provisions and levels of transparency. I think it's important to understand that the managing agent's agenda often differs massively to the customer's. The default response of the managing agent, as my colleagues have already said, is to immediately charge anything back to the leaseholder. There is no requirement on them to save money, and if you ask a lot of leaseholders, ‘Do you know a good managing agent?’ they'll typically say, ‘Hmm’. And again, I don't want to disparage every management agent, but it's an industry that needs to face up to its reputational brand. But most leaseholders will say, 'No, not really, they're all pretty much as bad as each other.' So, anything that forces their hand in convening and engaging, I think is most welcome.</p> |
