Freshstartliving Properties Mongomery is (soon won't be), the management company for Montgomery House in south Manchester.
Montgomery House is a multi-occupancy building sub divided into student units, the refurbishment of which was completed in September 2011.

FSL Properties Mongomery's responsibility has been to manage the running of Mongomery House and pass on to individual owners of units (leaseholders) the rent (as guaranteed in the agency agreements) minus the service charges.  This should happen every month.

Many of the leaseholders have not received any rent (which they are contractually entitled to) for the months of October and September and some have not received any rent since May.  Therefore FSL Properties Montgomery (FSLPM) are seriously in breach of the agency agreements made with many leaseholders.

Many of the leaseholders have now terminated their agency agreements with this company and are proceeding with legal action to permanently oust FSLPM as the managing company.

Those are the facts.  As of November 2012 no accounts have ever been filed by FSLPM with companies house.

The best that can be said of FSLPM is that they are unreliable, the worst that can be said is that they are thieves and con men.

The positive comments posted about Freshstart Living on this website are highly suspicious and very probably posted by Freshstart Living themselves.

This is NOT actually a rebutal.

My advice is - If you have lost money to Charlie Cunningham or Freshstart Living, sue them through the small claims court but make sure you have all your documentation. It might take 6 months but you should win in the end - and it's quite a simple process and far cheaper than a solicitor.

In Oct 2011 I paid a deposit of 5k for Student Accommodation in Manchester. I was told lies to get a sale. I request a deposit refund and after numerous calls and emails I eventually got a letter confirming my deposit would be paid in April. Nothing happened. I was then told, May, then August, then Sep then October. I have used their online complaint form several times and written to the CEO Charlie Cunningham twice. I have received no reply. I have lodged numerous calls and no-one ever calls back. I will not let is stop here as these people are liars and unethical. Anyone had any success?

I paid $6000 for apartment rental in Fresh Start Living. We almost signed the contract and they suddenly said that the apartments we paid for are not available anymore. They offered me another place but I didnt like it. I asked to return me the money and I cant get money back since August 2011.
