Regulate land management companies: cap charges and increase transparency

Closed 2,467 signatures

What the petition asks

Cap land maintenance price increases at the same rate as inflation to stop large price increases (we had nearly 30% this year); require management fees to be fixed in contracts, to stop extra fees; and require invoices for extra charges to prove works are carried out and not to be excessive.
I live on an estate which has green areas owned by a company which charges home owners for maintaining this land. They charge for works with no proof of work being carried out. This year they raised the price by 29.4% per month raising the price by £53.18 a month, costing an extra £638.16 per year! The company do not carry out the agreed works properly and demand payments or legal action will be taken against home owners for non-payment. The company also do not deal with complaints efficiently.
