It's terrifying. The estate management company of course don't give a shit whether it's occupied or not as they have offloaded the responsibility of paying the service charge to the owner, even if they are not using the service.

HSvetz Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Good luck. As PeanutB said, a scam, need to have something in these contracts so that if owner is no longer using the services then the service charges are cut right back, at least if change of ownership due to death of owner.

I think we are seeing these properties lead the way, where they go the mainstream will follow. Excess deaths due to COVID? it's the toxic vax that's killing people!

The executor nearly had a breakdown over it. The place would not sell, even at auction with no reserve. If anyone here is ever requested to act an executor of an estate involving one of these scams, I advise a hard decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
