Any advice on charges,pro/cons of the estate and any problems with the management company.

Hippogriff   10 #2 Posted June 28, 2018 The houses there also carry a [nominal] Service Charge, freehold.  I'd always choose a freehold house without a Service Charge if possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
