Good Management

Rented a property managed by Principle, Rachel Morton and the team always responded quickly to any issues I had and solved them all. I would recommend this company.

I have had reason to contact Principle on a few occasions and the best customer service by far was from Aliyah Lowe.
Her responses were timely and very customer focused.
Thank you Aliyah

Unhappy with service

In my experience it is difficult to be happy with the performance of Principle at Hope Place Bath. Health and Safety matters are left for months if not years to fester despite constant badgering eg broken outside lighting, broken gates, dangerous and slippery steps…. It’s always on some to do ‘list’ but many never get authorised to the constant frustration of residents and contractors. The estate in my view is beginning to deteriorate due the long list of outstanding items that Principle are failing to manage. The service charge accounts have not been produced for the past 2 years so we don’t know where we stand on costs and reserves. We don’t even have a budget for the current year. I could go on. Principle are well aware of the issues as numerous residents have repeatedly written to them but still Principle fail to remedy the service failings. Principle have a ‘maintenance’ email for reporting matters - but not once have I ever had a reply or even a simple acknowledgement to my emails. It is difficult to know why we are being let down by Principle - lack of manpower allocated to the estate management contract, other higher priority contracts, failure to appreciate the importance of fixing some long outstanding items ..….? We have never received an explanation. In my view Principle must improve their performance. Action not words please.

We are disappointed to learn of your dissatisfaction with the service you have been receiving at the Hope House development. Principle Estate Management took management of the development on 24th March 2025 and have been working with the prior managing agents and developer since to resolve the issues encountered on site.

We are always keen to ensure that service charges only fund works and services that are incurred as per the terms of the ownership documents on site (leases and TP1’s). This has caused some delays with work to areas which have been referred to the developer as latent defects. A full summary of these items and next steps will be shared with all residents shortly.

The service charge accounts for the period ending March 2025 are outstanding. However, Principle now have the documents for this period which predates our management in hand and the accountants are working to complete the service charge accounts for this period which will be followed by those for the year ending March 2026.

Further to recent correspondence with residents, the Property Manager and Associate Director will be on site on Tuesday 21st April and available to meet with residents from 11am. Please advise if you would like to meet with them whilst they are on site so they can walk the development with you or answer any queries you may have in person.

Bristol Street, Birmingham

Our experience with this company has been very good! My son has lived at Bristol Street Birmingham for over 3 years now and I can’t sing the praises of Sophie and all the team there enough! They are all lovely and do a fabulous job! Thank you 🙂

Sorry to receive your review. Since taking on the site there have been many anti-social issues which we had got on top of for a sustained period of time.

We are aware of the issues you have raised and have this week instructed for refuse clearance and additional works to the doors. These works have taken place today and include repairing the self closer, collection of the refuse again (which was carried out on Monday initially) and a reminder to owners and residents that they MUST keep the doors closed at all times in order to prevent continued access.

We are also reaching out the Police and the Council’s Outreach team and will continue to closely monitor the situation.

Many thanks and sorry that this issue has once again created difficulties for residents

Successful move in

Moved in with the help of Ross and Courtney, great experience overall, and both happy to assist at any time. Ross was so lovely when we met for the viewing, made us feel really comfortable straight away and gave us loads of information. He sat down and talked us through the next steps, answering all of our questions in detail - really great service. He was always on the end of the phone if we needed him! Also, the flat is great, which is a bonus. Really happy with the experience from Principle, thank you Ross and Courtney for your help :-)

Great management company!

After changing our management company and having a lot of issues to address, Recorra Moody has been totally amazing as our junior property manager. Her communication and attention to detail is second to none and she always replies quickly to any of our queries. If she hasn't an answer straight away she always gets back to us as soon as she can. Recorra respects each and every one of our requests and problems and goes above and beyond to help all of the 20 residents in our retirement property community. The best thing my husband an I ever did was to move to Principle Property Management.

Professional Lettings Service!

I recently started a tenancy for a rented garage on a brand-new concreted block they manage. The experience from start to finish was very professional and any questions I had were answered. I was given a garage viewing by Ross who was a delight to deal with and he quickly took me through the process of application which was very simple. All of the admin was dealt perfectly by Courtney and any queries were responded to very quickly. I would absolute recommend dealing with this agent if you are a prospective tenant on the look out for something.

Maintenance Request

From emailing the maintenance request to job being completed was maximum 2 weeks. Kiran Shoker responded to the initial email and instructed works to be carried out. Request was for bulbs in the two street lights outside our block and chanced my luck again by mentioning car port lights. Street lights and car ports are now all working. Thank you Kiran

Fitting washing machine / light fitting

I needed my washing machine plumbing in,it was a difficult job,as the cupboards were in the way of getting the pipes to the washing machine.
The engineer was brilliant, new exactly what to do, made a difficult job look easy.
Excellent communication from Jack as to when the engineer was coming.
Kept me informed at every step of the way,the engineer also changed a light fitting for me.

Excellent company

We finally have a maintenance company that looks after us. I spoke with go above and beyond. When I have asked for help, it is sorted. Their costs are reasonable. I would recommend Principle as a maintenance company that listens and helps.
