Services provided and management services are incredible

The service that Lewis has provided has been amazing since I moved into my property, whenever I have had any issues with my property he makes sure to have a contractor out as soon as possible, Lewis also follows up to make sure everything is fixed and if there is anything else he can do which I really appreciate. All contractors who have came to my property to fix work have all been polite and amazing.

Annual visit!Exceptional Service and Outstanding Support from Jason

I have had a fantastic experience with Umega, and I would especially like to thank Jason Maddrel for his outstanding professionalism and support.
From the very beginning, Jason has also been incredibly friendly, approachable, and helpful.
Whenever I needed assistance or had any questions, Jason responded extremely quickly and efficiently, always finding a solution and resolving any issues without delay. His communication has been excellent, and it is clear that he genuinely cares about providing a high level of service.
I also really appreciate the effort Jason puts into maintaining and improving the building. It is evident how much work he does to ensure everything is kept to a very high standard, creating a pleasant and well-managed environment for everyone.
Thank you, Jason, for your dedication, professionalism, and exceptional support. It has truly made a positive difference to my experience, and I would highly recommend Umega to anyone looking for a reliable and customer-focused agency.

The Western Villages

Lewis Walker the Development Manager is a good lad, always quick to respond to any issue I have and when I've met him he is very approachable.

The Western Villages is a great complex, clean and quiet.

Due to the Solar panels that are installed and I assume the insulation, my electricity and heating spend averages £50 a month; which is very economical.

I honestly think that I have one of the best 1 bedroom flats in the city.

Highly recommend

I’ve had a really positive experience with Lewis as my property manager. He is always friendly, professional and easy to deal with. Communication is excellent and any queries or issues I’ve had have been handled quickly and effectively.
Whenever I’ve needed help with something, Lewis has been quick to respond and has always kept me updated. Any maintenance issues have been dealt with promptly and I’ve always felt that my concerns were taken seriously. Lewis is very approachable and helpful and what I appreciate most is that he’s professional without being overly formal or distant. It’s clear that he cares about doing a good job and making sure tenants feel supported.
Overall, I’ve been very happy with the support I’ve received and would highly recommend him. Thank you for all your help over the past year.
