Service charges at Chelsea Bridge Wharf to rise at THREE TIMES the rate of inflation
The author of this blog has just received service charge notification for 2014/15. The increase works out to 6.33%. ! The current rate of inflation is 2%. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10612209
It seems that Rendall and Rittner will not be able to deliver the reduced service charges that were one of the main motivations for sacking Consort /Peverel.
Perhaps it is time to reconsider Rendall and Rittner’s contract?
If you are a resident of CBW please share your thoughts on this inflation-busting rise and what we can do about it.
I am in the process of selling my flat at CBW and R&R are trying to charge £450 for supplying a few bits of information to my legal team. Exorbitant increase in charges especially as concierge will no longer accept deliveries – one of the most useful services.

Hi Lynn I am sorry to hear that. I was hopeful when Rendall & Rittner took over but over the 6 or so months that they have been managing agents my experience is that they are actually worse than Consort / Peverel. In fact most of the staff have been transferred over to the new agent anyway so not surprising. They do in fact take parcels (mine anyway) but the system seems to be unreliable to say the least. I can’t believe they are whacking up the service charge again – it is wholly unjustifiable. I don’t think they have heard the end of this.
