Management companies 'fleecing' owners of new houses
19/10/2005 - 13:26:21The Taoiseach has called for legislation to be put in place in order to regulate management companies who provide services in new housing estates.
Leader of the Socialist Party Joe Higgins told the Dáil that thousands of young couples, who buy new houses, are being fleeced by management companies for services that are free elsewhere.
But Bertie Ahern said it was mostly up to Fine Gael and Labour to take action on the issue as they control a number of local authorities.
