Notice Description

Additional resources from Deloitte to support the service charge team clear the backlog of service charge reconciliations for the London portfolio

We have attempted to close this issue by other means - largely resourcing internally and using agencies. We are not able to clear the backlogs in time and need to do so before 31 March 2026. Therefore we need to appoint firms with dedicated resources available quickly
