ATTENTION Sir R S K C LL B - Mitie Scotgate Ltd?

Your advice would be gratefully received, i currently own a freehold property and signed a covenant upon purchase where i would have to pay services charges to Mitie scotgate for the upkeep of the land surrounding property, I beleive that Anningtons the company who appointed Mitie to do this work own what is known as a golden share in each of the properties in the estate, eventually these golden shares will be given back but when this will happen nobody really knows. Now i dont have a problem with the above only with the conduct of Mitie who make it increasingly difficult to get proof of the work they are charging for as a paying customer i expect them to answer the queries that i have regarding why their annual charge has tripled since last year, why the insurance has doubled etc etc. Is there any legislation to protect residents because Mitie advised me that they can charge whatever they like, im not adverse to paying i just what evidence where do i stand. Kind Regards
