Based on recent customer reviews, Community Schemes Ombud Service (CSOS) receives sharply divided feedback from sectional title owners seeking dispute resolution. A recurring theme is prolonged delays in adjudication, with customers consistently mentioning cases stretching across many months or years without meaningful progress, poor communication, and complaints being dismissed on technicalities. Some reviewers express deep frustration with perceived bias toward trustees and managing agents. In contrast, a smaller group of customers commend specific staff members for professionalism, helpfulness, and effective enforcement of orders, highlighting that the legal mechanism can deliver results when properly executed.
