“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.”

“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.”
Jay Shah, Director at a block of 63 flats in London, N13
“We are directors of a freehold company in Marylebone and every now and then there are complex legal or personality issues that are beyond the normal scope of running a building. Our go to person is Bruce Maunder Taylor. Over the years Bruce has helped us with a fight against the previous head lessor, to enable us to get control of the building. More recently he won a case for us at the Tribunal against a long-term non-payer of the service charge. Bruce is excellent at taking a case all the way through the Tribunal, as well as offering practical, resolution advice that could avoid costly and time-consuming litigation altogether. Bruce is excellent at what he does and well respected by the Tribunal. We are very comforted by the fact that we know Bruce and if there are issues down the line, we can seek his guidance.”

“I have instructed Michael Maunder Taylor in connection with mismanagement of premises and management order proceedings. My client and I have been impressed by Michael’s knowledge, experience, efficiency and thorough approach.”
Shahnaz Farahi, Senior Associate Solicitor, Collins Benson Goldhill LLP
“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!”
