Has anyone had dealings with Deacon property management please? I’m hoping to buy a 1-bed flat in a two flat semi-detached in Brighton managed by them but the paperwork from the solicitors is turning up really high charges for year up to Sept 2014:
100 Ground rent
890 Service charge expenses
300 Building Insurance
100 Health & Safety
50 Accountancy fees
376 Management fees
Costs seem to be rising by about 1/5th a year…
Thank you,
Anonymous
300 Repairs to property
250 Reserve fund
