Chelsea Bridge Wharf

To: Urang Property Management and the Directors of Chelsea Bridge Wharf RTM Company Ltd 23rd July, 2026 Dear Sir/Madam, I write to make a formal complaint regarding the statements made (on zoom) before the leaseholders’ meeting held on 21 July 2026, in which attendees were presented with conditions purporting to prohibit the recording, sharing or dissemination of information relating to the…

Urang tried to impose secrecy on participants in the online leaseholder meeting, this evening (21st July 6.30pm). Those entering the zoom meeting were shown the message below (which I did not engage with either way and did not agree to). This message has no legal meaning in any case – leaseholders cannot be forced to treat their own data (i.e. what they say at a meeting) as the property of Urang.…

Chelsea Bridge Wharf RTM Directors and Urang announce £425,000 Service Charge Budget overspend 25/26 in addition to above inflation increase for 26/27

Urang and the RTM directors have been dragged into a meeting, (only) seven months since the last one – an AGM lasting 9 (nine) minutes at which RTM directors were ‘elected’. The meeting (see below) will be online only so that Urang and the RTM directors can completely control the meeting and mute or cut off people who ask difficult questions such as ‘why did you overspend the budget by nearly…

Further to the failures of Urang and the Chelsea Bridge Wharf RTM company highlighted in my recent article ‘A Year of Urang at Chelsea Bridge Wharf – An Opportunity Wasted?’, Urang/ The Chelsea Bridge Wharf RTM Company has today circulated a Section 20B Notice of Expenditure for the year ended 31 December 2025. The figures reveal that the estate spent significantly more than it received in…

This blog exists because due to sustained online bullying, meaningful debate on the CBW App has become impossible. Residents who question the RTM co or Urang are often subjected to personal attacks, which discourages open discussion. They may have their CBW app accounts closed or ‘shadow banned’. My blog, together with the Facebook group, provides an alternative forum where issues can be…

Summary When Urang took over management at Chelsea Bridge Wharf in May 2025, following a long and contested Right to Manage (RTM) process, leaseholders were promised a new era of transparency, accountability and better value for money. Supporters described CBW as the “largest RTM in the country”, while campaign groups such as the Leasehold Knowledge Partnership (LKP) suggested that CBW, as one…

Urang have again issued leaseholders with a Section 20 Notice of Intent for repair and replacement of lifts. This follows an earlier attempt (20 December 2025) by Urang / the CBW RTM company to push through a similar notice for replacement of all carpets and all lifts across the 1,150-apartment development. Urang had to withdraw that notice when it became clear that they could not supply costs or…

The results of the May 7th 2026 local elections sent a message to the government of Kier Starmer, and nowhere was the anger more visible than among leaseholders. Across social media, frustration with Housing Minister Matthew Pennycook exploded. The words appearing again and again were “betrayal”, “sold out”, and “jam tomorrow”. Labour politicians and campaigners spent years telling leaseholders…

Here is my email to Urang regarding their continual refusal to allow leaseholders to see the contract with Urang. One can only wonder if there is something which they wish to hide. Dear Mr Hymers Urang were appointed as agents at Chelsea Bridge Wharf in an secretive and undemocratic…

Summary:Just before Xmas 2025, Urang Property Management issued leaseholders at Chelsea Bridge Wharf with a Section 20 Notice of Intention for major works, potentially involving expenditure of at least £283,000 across 1,132 flats. The notice was issued just before Christmas, during a period when many residents are busy or away, which appears designed to reduce scrutiny and responses. Crucially,…

The first AGM of the Chelsea Bridge Wharf RTM company took place today, 24th November, chaired by Louis Kendall. No leaseholders were allowed to speak and no motions were permitted other than the election of directors. Candidates were not allowed to speak. Leaseholders could not ask candidates any questions. The meeting started at 6.30pm and finished at 6.39pm. The usual suspects were elected:…

On 9th November I made a complaint to Urang on a number of matters and below is their reply of 21st November and my responses to that in red. In short is a more evasive and opaque waffle from Urang and some key points are:Urang will not publish the management contract but you might be able to see it if you sign a non disclourse agreement (this has never been offered before so maybe that is…

Notes from Meeting of Chelsea Bridge Wharf Leaseholders and Urang15th September 2025 6.30-8pm at Pestana Hotel London SW11 Executive Summary Urang’s notes from the meeting on 15th September are highly selective and omit many of the key criticisms of themselves and the RTM directors mentioned below and I have produced these notes in the interests of leaseholders being able to get an accurate…
