They will be your best friend when you show an interest in investing and shower you with possibillites of great returns and discounts !The truth is , they don't care once you are committed to the purchase.Mortgages on conversions are almost impossible to get at a competitive rate, their 'recommended' broker is almost double the going rate .Service Charges quoted on sales material is also grossly under exagereated , ours is now more than double that quoted !!Beware of the phrase 'Joint Venture' as the agent selling the project could also be the 'freeholder' of the property and be finacially involved , something the law says they should divulge at the onset of the transaction !Look out for snagging restrictions as we were not allowed to view the property before completion and then only given 7 days to do the snagging , shameful as buiding issues were not spotted in time !!Sloppy finish to the individual units and the project as a whole !Make sure if there is a lift that you see a saftey and feasability report before completing , our lift has been out of order since March 2025 and barely worked since we took over in December 2023.Freeholders ( directorship shared between Aspen Woolf and 1 other ) deploy the Ostrich management technique when issues are reported , that should say it all .So from my experience with Aspen Woolf BEWARE you have been warned !Post Script, Dated 09/03/2026 - Having spoken to one of the 'joint venture' directors towards the end of February 2026 we are still no further forward in getting the lift fixed and certified safe for use ? It has had 10 call outs in it's first 15 months and has been out of use since March 2025 , A whole year !!!Reply to Aspens reply, dated 25/03/2026 Predictions were achievable if you could get a mainstream mortgage!, Freedom of choice in this case was limited to specialist brokers!Managing agents 'advise' the freeholder/landlord on what to charge in the service charge but ultimately it is down to the freeholder who has the final say!So they do 'control' what is paid!And as Aspen Woolf is a joint freeholder then it is a reflection on them?7 day snnagging might have been conveyed to us but it is not industry standard as is no access before completion! Snagging is the period before the insurance takes over , normally 1 to 2 years from completion?Managing agents manage the day to day stuff but ultimate legal responsibility is down to the freeholders for essential repairs and maintenance , if you don't beleive me look it up! Aspen Woolf being one of the owners of the freehold company!I have asked many times for the LOLER report on the safety of the existing lift for the period prior to our completion? where is it ? 10 call outs in the first year and a total breakdown unrepaired since March 2025!The lift is not fit for Purpose maybe ?
