Report
I was living in a block of flats that is managed by Maunder Taylor called Western Beach Apartments in East London by the docklands. This is the most corrupt and dubious management agency I ever come across. They have used COVID as an excuse to suspend our AGM and deprived the residents of independent oversight and also input into the running of our estate.

Another issue was that they wanted to increase our yearly service charges - again Bruce (Maunder Taylors) stepped in if the Association attempted to do so we would take them to court. Maunder Taylors are highly knowledgeable

He managed our price expectations well in an uncertain market and secured us good offers. Our sale was
