Outstanding Service from JFM Block Management – Battersea Reach

I've had the pleasure of working with Catherine Adams and her team at JFM Block Management at Battersea Reach, and I can honestly say they are a breath of fresh air in the industry.

Unlike many other companies I’ve dealt with, JFM genuinely cares about the residents and the community. Their attention to detail is evident – the site is immaculate, and their commitment to high standards really shows.

Catherine and her team are professional, responsive, and a true pleasure to deal with. If you're looking for a premium block management service that delivers on its promises, I would highly recommend JFM.

Hi Daniel,

Apologies for the slightly delayed response – we were busy passing this lovely review around the office (Catherine may or may not have done a little happy dance 💃).

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We’re incredibly proud of the work Catherine and the Battersea Reach team do, and it means a lot to see their efforts recognised so generously.

We’re especially pleased that our commitment to quality, community care, and high standards came through in your experience. That’s exactly what we aim for – and we’re delighted it made a real difference for you.

Thanks again for the recommendation – and for making our day

Great service provided by Carlene

Great service provided by Carlene. In general getting a response from a property manager is difficult. However, I spoke to Carlene and she took ownership of the matter and provided a speedy response and is monitoring the progress. Great communication and support. Well done.

Hi J & S,

Thanks so much for your kind words — and sorry for the delay in getting back to you (we promise we’re quicker at handling issues than replying to reviews!).

It’s fantastic to hear that Carlene made such a strong impression. She’s a brilliant part of the team, and we're so glad her responsiveness and hands-on approach stood out. Taking ownership and keeping residents in the loop is exactly what we strive for, so it’s great to hear that reflected in your experience.

We’ll be sure to pass your message on to her — she’ll be absolutely chuffed!

Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.

Excellent Service and amazing Team

Excellent Service and amazing Team!

I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for the exceptional service provided by JFM Lewisham management. The entire team is fantastic, but I want to highlight Mr. Rachid and Ola specifically. They are always incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Their dedication and professionalism truly make a difference, and I am grateful for their support. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Hi Mohamed,

Apologies for the slow reply — we’ve just finished passing your message around the Lewisham team (cue big smiles all round!).

Thank you so much for your kind words and generous feedback. We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that your experience has been such a positive one — and that Rachid and Ola have made a real impact. They’re both incredibly dedicated, and it’s always rewarding to see that effort recognised by the residents they work so hard for.

We’ll be sure to share this with them — though we may need to gently remind them to stay humble afterward!

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. It really means a lot to the whole team.

I’ve had a very positive experience…

I’ve had a very positive experience working with JFM, and in particular Ola, who has been incredibly professional, responsive, and thorough in her approach. Her commitment to resolving issues and maintaining clear, consistent communication has made a real difference.

Although Rachid is not part of JFM, his role as the Building Manager for LGW and his close collaboration with Ola has been invaluable. Rachid is extremely hands-on and proactive on-site — always quick to respond and focused on upholding high standards. The partnership between Ola and Rachid has been instrumental in driving positive outcomes for both the building and its residents.

Really grateful for the continued support and dedication from both!

Hi Tyrra,

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review — and apologies for our delayed reply (clearly Ola is faster at responding than the rest of us! 😅).

We’re so pleased to hear that your experience with JFM has been such a positive one, and that Ola’s professionalism and attention to detail have made a real difference. She’s incredibly committed, and it’s always wonderful to see that recognised.

We’d also like to echo your kind words about Rachid — while not officially part of JFM, he’s a fantastic partner and a vital part of what makes Lewisham Gateway run so smoothly. We’re lucky to work alongside someone so hands-on and dependable.

Thanks again for your kind feedback — it really does mean a lot to the whole team.

zero confidence in this firm

zero confidence in this firm, never answer a phone, never in the office. noticed they charge for sublet fees when the lease clearly states they are not entitled to charge for a fee. I urge anyone who has paid a sublet fee to check their lease to see if JFM are entitled to charge or not.

Upsettingly poor service, disregard for leaseholders, extortionate fees

An astonishingly poor record of management of our site, including just in the past year:
- Refusing to provide FENSA certificates to newly fitted doors and windows. Leaseholders are as a result currently unable to sell their properties. JFM have not fully recognised their fault and responsibility to resolve this, despite huge pressure from leaseholders, and have not yet fixed this.
- Refusal to address significant and worsening loss of water pressure in the site despite numerous and sustained complaints from leaseholders. Even suggested that costs for resolving could fall on leaseholders on top of existing charges - what is our (massively increased) service charge for then?
- Ridiculous hiking of fees and overcharging with poor service and communication in return. A seeming disregard for the way their conduct affects people's homes and lives.

Alongside this, in recent correspondence on an issue JFM rudely dismissed my concerns as a leaseholder and made outright false and misleading statements.

Extremely upset and disappointed about their management of our site. Would absolutely not recommend them to any other sites seeking a prospective management company.

Thank you Adrian!

I wanted to drop a quick note to give some feedback on Adrian who just completed the fire door inspection for my flat. He was extremely professional and friendly. I feel confident that I know what needs to be done to the door to protect both myself and my neighbours! That is very reassuring. Please send him my thanks - he is a credit to your team.
