Louise has managed our large block of flats in Torquay for around 8 years, before she started Larchfield. We’ve always valued the relationship we have with Louise. Louise increased her team recently with the most efficient people we’ve come across, I need to give particular praise to Lamees who is now our property manager. Nothing is ever too much trouble and her communication is spot on. It’s nice to receive the personal touch that Louise has always given to us from the rest of her staff too. We as a board have no hesitation in recommending Larchfield for block management.

We’ve worked with Larchfield Asset Management for some time through Sydenhams Gardens & Landscapes, and have always found them a pleasure to deal with. Lamees and Marcus are both friendly, approachable and straightforward to work with, and communication is always clear, which makes our job much easier. Louise has built a really professional and well-run company, but it still has a very personal feel to it. They clearly care about their clients, their contractors and the standard of service they provide. From our experience working across their managed properties, we’ve always found Larchfield fair, organised and good to work alongside. We genuinely value the relationship and would happily recommend them.

We have worked with Louise and the team for many years now with exterior cleaning services on a number of blocks they manage. Extremely professional, very knowledgeable in their field and very clear in what they require. No issues with payment , an absolute pleasure. Hopefully many more years to come. Thank you. Lee

In my experience, Larchfield offer a practical and efficient approach to the maintenance of our building. Much of this this can be attributed to the prompt action and support offered by the current staff members, who are prepared go the extra mile to deliver a smooth service.

Larchfield has recently become the property management for our apartment block. We are receiving excellent service from Louise and her team. Response times are excellent, and problems resolved rapidly. Very happy indeed with the service

The management of my apartment block was moved to Louise at LarchField at the beginning of the year, and I am delighted with the service we have received. Working with Louise is so easy, she reacts quickly to any requests or issues, and her communication with us is excellent. I would highly recommend LarchField. Thanks Louise.
