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 assume everyone has received an email from FirstPort advising of a change in property manager. We will paste the content in a separate post for completeness. Ignore the email – it adds no value to The Dovecote and is completely irrelevant. Just a reminder that there is NO NEED to register on the FirstPort portal. Our […]

We recently encouraged residents to submit a claim into Bloor Homes to recover the costs that FirstPort were attempting to claim. We have circulated the documentation we used to quite a few residents. We wonder whether anyone might want to advise how you are progressing with your claims?

We have just received a letter in the post from FirstPort advising of an extra charge for this year. Cheeky blighters. Only £8.15 for us. Assume the same for others. What really annoys us though is them including a page of rights and obligations at the back, which does not apply to us! We are […]
