Residents have been receiving service charges from Chamonix and/or FirstPort for a number of years now, but do residents realise that they can claim these costs back from Bloor Homes?

We have had no response from Bloor recently in respect to the recovery of costs we have incurred from FirstPort. We assume others are in the same boat. We would expect we will soon receive the annual charge from FirstPort – it’s normally early Feb (if we recall correctly), since the “year” runs from start […]

For awareness, we have exchanged emails with the new Property Manager at FirstPort. They have been on site; we can only assume at the invitation of Bloor Homes. We have recommended they spend no more time working on the development on the basis that it will simply lead to expenses that FirstPort will pass on […]

We have just received an email from the Deputy MD of Bloor Homes South Midlands. It relates to our request for a generic Deed of Variation to avoid mortgage challenges for residents in the future. Ultimately the response is disappointing (but unsurprising), but there are lots of entertaining elements in there as well. I’ve included […]

We continue to hear nothing from the council over handover. As previously reported, we have held two pre-inspection meetings in the past 12 months or so. The first was in Oct 2021 (ish) and the last one was held on 1st March 2022. Since then, the council have done nothing and currently (as we understand […]

For awareness, we have heard from a few people about concerns over the landscape maintenance, including a lack of weeding (thanks for taking this on Paul), the need to keep the balancing pond growth under control, weeds on the block paved roads and now a note about ragwort on the east edge of the Dovecote […]
