Conduct of Bellway Homes Limited

That this House is deeply concerned by the actions of Bellway Homes Limited, including the current Bellway appointed directors of Bluenote Apartments Management Company Limited, Francis Dickinson, Paul Hayes and Colin Marshall in connection with homes the company built at Bluenote Apartments, Hayes, Middlesex; notes the failure to remedy developer defects, failure to provide annual accounts on time to residents or any justification for how residents money is being spent, charging unjustified service charge demands, refusing to provide underlying receipts and invoices for expenditure in breach of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, allowing residents’ money, including reserve funds, to be unaccounted for, placing undue pressure on residents to take over the management of the building and exposing them to personal liability, knowingly charging residents for fixing defects that the developer is responsible for, facilitating and being indifferent to the negligence of the property managers put in place by the Bellway appointed directors, failing to transfer the freehold to the residents’ management company as contractually required, contrary to the sales contract appointing additional directors to the management company, and failing to act in the best interests of residents; and urges the Government to bring forward a strengthened Leasehold Reform Bill to put an end to this malpractice.
