Overpayment of service charge
I queried my recent maintenance invoice as I had been paying by standing order for 8 months
It took a little while to receive a reply and I was pleased to hear that I had overpaid. I was given a few options & chose to receive a partial refund.
3 stars given as I feel Meadfleet should have already been aware of my standing order and I am still awaiting my refund.
Despite this, communication with the team was prompt, professional, courteous & efficient.

Hi Della
Thank you so much for your review.
Whilst we do understand your frustration regarding your standing order payments, our Accounts Team do try to confirm that when setting up a payment plan, that our residents compare the amount that is being paid on a monthly basis, to the total of the invoice to ensure that you do not over pay or under pay following the issuing of our charges. However, we are happy to issue refunds when these do slip through the net.
We have checked with our Team to see why you are still waiting for your refund, but unfortunately, the name from your review does not bring up any correspondence for the Team to check against. Therefore could we please ask that you contact our Accounts Team at Creditcontrol@meadfleet.co.uk with your property address, so that they can confirm when you are to receive your refund.
Thank you so much for your great feedback and we will ensure that this is also passed onto the Team.

Bad managment of over 500 houses in Manafield
Meadfleet have given a terrible service at our estate in Mansfield for over 5 years.
They have never given a good service.
They do not reply to concerns and then do Not Respond to criticism of the quality of work. Many in the estate have written to complain but get no reply from management.

Hi Phillip
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and we are really sorry to hear that you are not happy with our services.
Meadfleet are working very hard to ensure that residents on your development are aware of the areas that we maintain, and those that are still covered by the Lindhurst Group, which do include roads, lighting and play areas.
We have issued a letter to the development to try to bring clarity to the issues that residents have raised, which do include chafer grubs and weather issues.
We are also working with the Liaison Group on the development to address any concerns, which we hope will develop into a positive working relationship moving forward for all parties.
We would like to say that we really do appreciate your feedback, even though it is disappointing when things do not go well. Your reviews assist us in helping us to identify issues and work hard to address these concerns.
Take Care and thank you for your feedback.

AVOID MEADFLEET
This company is absolutely awful and arrogant. They’ve received numerous complaints from the same development, yet they persist in claiming everything is neat and tidy. Even the MD insists on this, but he obviously hasn’t visited the development in person because it’s far from neat and tidy. Weeds are everywhere, and the so-called ‘Meadow Land’ is now at least 60%. He doesn’t even have the courage to put his email on the letter. Do we really have to remind him that ‘neat and tidy’ is in their contract.
Apparently, there’s also some fly tipping. I walk my dog around the development, and the only fly tipping I can find is by Meadfleet’s contractors. They’ve dumped all the grass cuttings around the edge of the park, claiming it’s good for the insects. What a joke! They work harder at doing nothing than actually doing the job we pay them for.
They claim it’s all done to the approved plan, but who approved this plan it certainly wasn’t the residents because this plan was never shown to them at any point during their conveyance and completion. So, that would mean an incomplete contract, which is invalid.
Any decent company would try to make their customers happy, but they just fight with them.

Hi LT
Thank you so much for your review and we are sorry that you are unhappy.
The letter that was issued to residents on the development was to give clarity regarding the areas that fall within our remit and how they are to be maintained. If you have any concerns with the letter, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Care Team, or your Regional Manager.
The fly tipping was fully documented by your Regional Manager, and was not in relation to any green waste, but was actually large items that had to be removed. However, as we have confirmed to all residents, this time we will remove that charge from your invoice as a gesture of goodwill
The "approved plan", is not approved by residents or Meadfleet, it is the Planning Department at the Local Authority that will approve this at the development stage, with the developers, and dictates how the site is laid out, what is planted and how it should be maintained.
Please be assured that Meadfleet's aim is to work with the residents and listen to their concerns and to address them within the planning conditions, so that we can work towards residents satisfaction.
If you do wish to contact our Customer Care Team, they will be happy to assist you.

I'm not impressed by Meadfleet as a…
I'm not impressed by Meadfleet as a company. The bills we receive aren’t clear (there is very little detail), so it’s difficult to know exactly what we’re paying for. Costs keep increasing above inflation, yet there’s no clear explanation for why this is happening.
There’s also a lack of transparency around their services and the contract. For instance, Meadfleet hasn’t provided a proper map of the area they actually manage. This has caused confusion, especially as we were originally given a different map by Davidson’s Homes. Shouldn't something like this be readably available for all residents who are paying for the service?
For a company managing estates, I would expect a much higher standard. If I was paying for any other service in any other sector, I would expect to know what I was paying for. Residents invest a lot in their homes and already pay a sizeable fee, so clarity and accountability should be the minimum standard. Hill Top estate.

Hi Rick
Thank you for your review.
The invoices that we issue have a summary of the charges that have been raised within that 6 month period, on the rear of the invoice. That will include the routine maintenance that is the same charge each month, along with any additional works that have been carried out within that 6 month period. Our Regional Manager is always on hand should you wish any further information on the works that have been carried out also.
We can confirm that in the last 5 years when inflation costs have increased by over 38%, we have been mindful to keep the maintenance and overhead increases to less than 26% in the same period.
When you purchased your property, you would have been issued with a plan of the areas that Meadfleet were going to be maintaining, contained within your Deed of Covenant, but should you require a further copy, our Customer Care Team are more than happy to send this out to you.
Please do not hesitate to contact our Accounts Team would will be happy to discuss any concerns that you have with the charges for the development, which as we have confirmed, is listed on the back of your invoice.

Further to your response to my review.
It’s very convenient that you state ‘persons unknown’ fly tipping the large amount of grass cuttings where you accused resident sod doing so - and impossibility with the sheer amount that was left …. This was down to your own contractors however you felt the need to issue a letter accusing residents instead. Very poor on your side.

Rising costs
Having lived at hill top for over 4 years, I am fully aware of the condition of the common land & its upkeep. The work carried out has by the contractors has become more & more shabby & the charges have gone up every year, 9% this year. Add to that the fly tipping charge , which Meadfleet initiated & no redress , then I feel something needs to change. A good reputation, is easy to lose

WISH I HAD KNOW THIS BEFORE I SIGNED MY CONTRACT.
Meadfleet is employed by our residents to maintain the public areas around our development. But unfortunately they take our money to just cut the grass and fill in some cracks in the ground even that is done as quickly as possible and cuttings are dumped in a corner.
Residents complaints have been largely ignored or deflected in order to protect individuals in the company. This must be a systemic problem within the company because they get away with it over and over. I can’t work out if it’s bad communication in their offices or is it our site representative because other sites that have a different representative do not seem to have the same issues. Something is very wrong.
I’m also very suspicious about their 5 star reviews on this platform, because in my 4 years of dealing with them they have do everything they can, to do as little as possible and then increase charges.
So....if you are considering buying a house on a development that's public areas are maintained by Meadfleet....think again.
You will regret it!
Thank you for your reply.
Firstly plans merely highlight tree positions and areas of grass that are or not cut, mostly not cut. Not all plans were provided to solicitors during property conveyancing (incomplete contract).
Also, the fact that they get so many one star reviews from people on the same development tells you something is very wrong but they still maintain there is nothing wrong. There clearly is a big problem but they refuse to acknowledge it. Any decent company would at least make an effort to put things right but Meadfleet are just too arrogant.

Hi L J
Thank you for your review, however we are disappointed that you are still unhappy with our services, even though you have been fully updated as to our brief on the development.
We understand that you have been in contact with our Team, who have supplied you with the information that you have requested, along with the landscape plans that we work to, supplied to us by the developer at handover, and as dictated by the planning department. We are therefore at a loss as to what further information you require.
As we have noted, Meadfleet have to abide by the planning and landscaping plans for the development. Unfortunately, whilst the development is still in the selling stage, the public open space is maintained to a different specification, for aesthetic reasons.
We do wish to confirm that our 5 star reviews are obtained across all Teams here at Meadfleet, and are submitted for the hard work and dedication that our employees give to our customers, so we think that they are very well deserved.

Frustrated and disappointed residents of Hilltop Park
We the residents of Hilltop park are clearly frustrated and disappointed having been sold a five star marketing dream via Davidson Homes, and on completion of such development, discharged their responsibilities and outsourced the site maintenance to Meadfleet and it is felt that here lies the main problems as although each home owner has signed a covenant toward ongoing outdoor maintenance services, the legal framework in which this is set is heavily weighted in favour of the contracts firm in question and doesn’t highlight anywhere legally the fair relationship transaction between resident charges (payments) and what specific services (grass cutting/hedge trimming etc) or such cycle of works we are supposed to receive for our monies. This document doesn’t breakdown such expectations and there is nil accountability which has resulted in the dissatisfaction (80%) of the residents living within the estate. As a result of this, it is felt that both Davidsons and now Meadfleet are potentially in breach of contract due to lack of transparency and if communications don’t improve drastically, then I would recommend the residents go public and demand a formal investigation into what’s perceived as an unfair and illegal practice, especially as this has us technically held over a barrel if you don’t comply, [without any form of redress] then a charge can be legally put on individual deeds which would then ultimately impact on one’s ability to sell your bought home [which you own, because your tied in unfairly towards paying for an open space which in reality should be done via local authority as we all pay council taxes] because you personally disagree with the way it’s managed and to add insult to injury, affords the outside public - not living on the estate to enjoy our paid for, open space facility, leaving their rubbish, dog trash, fly tipping etc and yet we the residents, end up being accused, penalised and charged for added maintenance fees without any such redress - scandalous state of affairs and now the residents of Hill top park should unite, speak out and challenge these unfair practices. For the record, this matter has never been about us not paying - it’s about a contract and services being delivered fairly to the satisfaction of its invested residents. Come on Meadfleet, please address and resolve this issue out. 😩

Hi Paul
Thank you so much for your review, but we are sad that you are unhappy with our service.
Having spoken to your Regional Manager, it is clear that Meadfleet are working to the agreed landscape and planning documents, as we should be. However, whilst the development is still within the period of selling homes, it will obviously be maintained to a different standard. However, once it has been handed over, we have to abide by the planning documents.
Your Regional Manager is always happy to assist with any concerns that you or any resident on the development may have, as are any of the Administration Teams at Head Office. Our Customer Care Team are on hand to deal with any enquires or concerns also.
Meadfleet issue invoices twice yearly in arrears for the periods February to July and August to January. These invoices come with a 28 day payment term. Following the expiry of the 28 days, a reminder will be sent to our customers. There then follow a number of statements, with the letter regarding late fees being a last resort after approximately 5 weeks following the issue of the invoice and non payment of any charges. We do not agree that these are in anyway "threatening".
In the last 5 years when inflation increased costs by over 38%, Meadfleet have been mindful to try and keep the maintenance and overhead cost increases to less than 26% in the same period.
The agreement that we have with the developer is to maintain the development as per planning, which is exactly what our Operations Team and the Contractor are carrying out, following the landscape plans that we are issued with at handover.
We do not agree that we have deviated from our contractual agreement. The routine maintenance is charged at a set price with the contractor, and only additional works are charged over and above the routine maintenance charge.
Our only aim is to maintain your development as planning demands, and we are in the process of issuing a letter to all residents on the development to address any confusion that they may have and to bring this matter to a satisfactory conclusion for both the residents and Meadfleet.
