He responds to emails and phone calls extremely promptly (usually within an hour) and has exceptionally courteous and professional in all my interactions with him.

If you’re looking for competence and customer care - stay well away!
I am currently a resident and former director of a building managed by Charles White Limited, and unfortunately my experience over several years has been overwhelmingly negative.
Rather than providing confidence and reassurance, their management has consistently resulted in stress, confusion, and the need for constant oversight from residents and directors.
As a director, I have had to liaise with numerous members of staff due to what appears to be a high turnover of personnel, often with varying levels of experience and competence. A recurring issue has been the apparent lack of basic monitoring and quality control over contractors and services for which residents are paying substantial sums.
On more than one occasion, contractors have been paid for work that was either not completed or not completed to the required standard, with these issues only being identified by residents rather than by Charles White themselves. In one particularly concerning example, landscaping contractors were being paid to maintain our grounds every two weeks over an entire quarter, yet they did not attend a single visit. This went unnoticed by Charles White until residents raised the issue. Even then, recovering the funds proved unnecessarily difficult.
Time and again, directors have found themselves checking, questioning, and effectively auditing the work of the management company to ensure basic responsibilities are being fulfilled.
The most recent issue has been particularly alarming. Charles White recently discovered that, due to an administrative error on their part, another building they manage had inadvertently paid our building’s insurance costs through them two years ago. Remarkably, this mistake went unnoticed for two years. As a result, our residents have now been presented with an urgent bill exceeding £9,000 to reimburse the affected building. Despite this being entirely the result of Charles White’s own error, they have declined to offer any financial contribution or meaningful gesture to help mitigate the impact on residents.
What is most disappointing throughout these experiences is the apparent lack of accountability, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering a high standard of property management. Residents and directors should not have to continually monitor the management company to ensure that services are being delivered, invoices are accurate, and financial matters are being handled correctly.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Charles White Limited to anyone seeking diligent, proactive, and competent property management. Effective management should provide peace of mind; unfortunately, my experience has been quite the opposite.

Dear Tim,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to read of your experience and to learn that our service has fallen short of the standards you expected and were entitled to receive.
We take the concerns you have raised extremely seriously, particularly in relation to contractor oversight, service delivery, communication, and the insurance payment error you described. We fully appreciate the frustration and stress that these issues have caused to you and other residents, and we acknowledge the impact that this has had over an extended period.
We recognise that residents and directors should be able to place trust in their managing agent without feeling the need to repeatedly monitor services, question invoices, or intervene in operational matters. It is clear from your comments that, in your experience, we have not delivered the level of diligence, consistency, and accountability required, and for that we sincerely apologise.
Your feedback has been noted in full and will be reviewed carefully by senior management. We are committed to examining the issues raised, including our internal controls, contractor monitoring procedures, and communication processes, to ensure lessons are learned and improvements are made.
We regret that your experience has led you to lose confidence in our service and that we have not provided the peace of mind that effective property management should offer.
Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention

I was having flooring work carried out and the tradesman received a parking penalty notice. I thought that trades vehicles were exempt but that is not the case. I pointed out to CWL that if both permits are already in use then there is no way for a tradesman to attend without being ticketted. CWL negotiated with the parking company and very quickly resolved the issue. Full marks. Philip Robertson

We’re pleased we were able to assist in resolving this matter promptly and that you were satisfied with the outcome. Your feedback is very much appreciated.

4 out of 5 Tribunal Cases Taken against this company are successful
There is a website comparing property factors where your will see the numerous tribunal cases taking against Charles White Ltd for their poor business practices.
82% of these cases taken against them have been upheld giving them the worst rating of any property factor in Scotland. Tells quite a different story to the reviews on here.
They have bad reviews on here taken off almost immediately. The positive reviews are all written in the same style and mention staff members by name indicating incentive driven reviews, violating Trustpilot policy.
I have proof that you've had this review removed numerous times. You've also threatened legal action against reviewers on here before (another violation of Trustpilot policy).

Thank you for your feedback.
We have been unable to verify this review as genuine, as we cannot locate any record of you as a current or former customer. We would always encourage anyone with direct experience of our services to contact us with their details so that we can investigate and address any concerns appropriately.
We would also like to be clear that Charles White Ltd does not offer any form of incentive in exchange for reviews. We maintain a strict approach to feedback to ensure it reflects genuine customer experiences, and reviews are not connected to or influenced by individual members of our staff.
In relation to the comments regarding external comparison websites, we are aware of the scores referenced but fundamentally disagree with the methodology applied, particularly the weighting given to cases progressed to the First-tier Tribunal (FTT). As a regulated property factor, we actively encourage the use of the FTT where appropriate, as this provides independent oversight, allows for transparent resolution of disputes, and supports continuous improvement in service delivery.
While some organisations may choose to resolve matters privately, our approach is to engage openly and constructively through the appropriate regulatory channels. We believe this reflects a commitment to accountability rather than the negative interpretation suggested.
We would also clarify that we do not remove or control reviews on independent third-party platforms. We remain committed to transparency and respond openly to all feedback.
If you are a homeowner and wish to raise a specific concern, we would be happy to assist if you contact us directly. Without verifiable details, we are unable to take this matter further.

23 years of consistently good performance
I was in a property with Charles White as factor for 23 years. I found they consistently did a good job. It's not always easy balancing different tenant demands, or balancing getting stuff done with cost. I think that is under appreciated by many people. When I flagged issues in the development I found them responsive, the portal was easy to use, billing was very transparent, they consulted on issues. They had built very high trust with me because consistency over that length of time counts for a lot - its easy for a new factor bidding to promise the earth, harder to be consistently good for 23 years.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review and for your support over such a long period.
We really appreciate your recognition of the challenges involved in managing developments—particularly balancing differing views, prioritising works, and ensuring value for money. It’s encouraging to hear that our approach to communication, transparency and consultation has helped build trust with you over the years.
Consistency is something we work hard to maintain, so your feedback about your 23-year experience means a great deal to us. We’re also pleased that you found our team responsive and our systems easy to use.
While we are naturally very sorry to see the development move to another factor after such a long-standing relationship, we are sincerely grateful for the trust you have placed in us over the years. We wish all owners every success going forward and would welcome the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
Thank you again for your kind words.
