“Bruce Maunder Taylor was the court-appointed manager at Northwood Hall from June 2016 until December 2019. Bruce managed an extremely difficult and litigious situation with integrity, patience and determination and, thanks to him, the vast majority of flats now enjoy full, modern central heating, the block’s gardens look better than they have in years and the block runs smoothly on a day to day basis. Bruce is a very level-headed, experienced and capable manager, who was well-respected and liked by many at Northwood Hall.”

“Bruce Maunder Taylor came highly recommended by 2 separates sources. They both work in Residential and commercial properties. I needed Bruce to help me removing a very unprofessional property management in a block of flats. Bruce had to gather all the evidence and represent me in Court. Bruce did this in a very professional way and subsequently managed the building.”

“Maunder Taylor took over as the Managing-Agents for our apartment block (Melrose Place in Swiss-Cottage) about 2-years ago. They took over at a difficult period from previous Managing-Agents that were so dreadful that the Lessees had to all come together and take them to court to force them out. The former Managers had completely run down the services and depleted the sinking fund, but Maunder Taylor have completely turned things around in a very short space of time and completed several repairs and improvements. Michael and the rest of the team are extremely responsive and always helpful. We are really glad to have them onboard!”

“My family wholeheartedly recommends Maunder Taylor following a very good experience selling our home. After my father met Ben Ewen, he strongly recommended we use Maunder Taylor, despite my recommendation to shop around. After shopping around, I agreed Maunder Taylor was our best option and as soon as I met Ben myself, I understood my father’s insistence. Ben is very pleasant to deal with and handled our sale professionally and efficiently from day one, with the utmost integrity and kindness. He managed our price expectations well in an uncertain market and secured us good offers. Our sale was a little complicated, not least due to the global pandemic, but having Ben in our corner was extremely reassuring. We completed on time and found the fees to be excellent value. I was genuinely sorry my next transaction was on the other side of London! Thank you, Maunder Taylor.”

“Just a very quick note to thank you for all of your efforts and diligence on this matter. I am a Building Surveyor and I completely appreciate how long these things can take and the processes that need to be followed. In fact, I have deliberately left you alone to allow this process to go through the various stages required, as I could see that you were managing this in the correct manner. I am obviously delighted that the Grant will be covering the works, so I am personally very appreciative of your efforts - thank you.”

“Over the years I have worked with Jason on a number of different types of cases and I always find him to be thorough and diligent with his reports and general advice. He always responds to emails promptly and is very happy to discuss matters on the phone. I have referred numerous clients to Jason and all have been very pleased with this advice and guidance. I would not hesitate to recommend Jason on any type of lease extension or enfranchisement work”
Julia Harling, Consultant, Fletcher Day Limited
“Our block of flats had a toxic and extremely difficult history due to various factors. The Maunder Taylors were appointed Managers by the Tribunal in 2014. We previously had at least 4 managing agents who resigned within a year because they were not prepared for the toxic and divisive atmosphere and the in-fighting amongst leaseholders. The exterior was completely run down due to the fact that no external repairs had taken place for a number of years. They managed to resolve long-standing problems and handled contentious issues between groups of lessees with differing views on management matters in a professional manner. Since the Maunder Taylors’ appointment as Managers, the flats have been turned around and now are a desirable place to live and invest in. their team have played a big part in turning the estate from tired looking to a place which now looks like it is well looked after. I would highly recommend them especially for difficult and contentious issues.”
