Our whole transfer was beset by disasters, however whereas most had been ultimately resolved, one downside continues. The property firm that manages our outdated home – a agency referred to as FirstPort – received’t settle for that now we have moved out.
As a part of the transfer we needed to pay £200 for a administration pack to switch our property to the brand new house owners. This we duly did. Quickly after we had moved in to our new home I cancelled the direct debit to FirstPort for our service expenses.
I've written and phoned to verify now we have moved. Regardless of this I proceed to get emails from the corporate, and have obtained the bill for this yr’s invoice.
I rang once more, and was advised that we'd be eliminated. The property switch group bought in contact to inform me that the consumers’ solicitors wanted to ship over some paperwork. I bought in contact however FirstPort employees declare they nonetheless haven’t obtained it. They’ve additionally mentioned they is not going to settle for a Land Registry title change as proof now we have moved.
The consumers of our home accomplished the varieties and are completely happy for the prices to shift to them, however FirstPort is refusing to interact with any technique of sorting this out. Please assist.
