Avoid this letting agency!!! They kept my deposit for more than three months, trying to charge me cleaning fee even though I hired a cleaner to clean the property professionally.

When are you going to fix my issues. Promised calls backs, doesn't happen. Awaiting repairs for an unidentified leak for 15 months now, disgusting.

Don't use this agency. They illegally take referencing fees which are not permitted under the Tenant Fees Act 2019. They also don't provide correct keys, or timely repairs. Highly recommend to avoid this agency.

My daughter is currently renting through this agency, and her experience has been notably disappointing. She works in a demanding profession, and the agency’s lack of clear and timely communication has significantly added to her stress. On multiple occasions, she arranged annual leave for scheduled appointments, only for no one to attend. She then had to follow up herself to discover that the appointments had been cancelled without any notification. Routine matters have required persistent chasing, and escalation to senior staff has not resulted in meaningful improvement. Based on her experience, agencies elsewhere demonstrate far greater reliability, professionalism, and accountability. Regrettably, we cannot recommend this agency.

While I was in the process of seeking clarification regarding the additional charges, the property agent — who has consistently been rude and unprofessional — issued a notice to me. Despite my attempts to escalate the matter to senior management, the internal escalation process appears ineffective, and as a result, I received the notice yesterday. I genuinely intended to resolve the issue amicably, but unfortunately, all my efforts have been in vain

Highly unprofessional agency that can make your life miserable. The letting agency rented us an appartment (the postbox) that was infested with rodents. This was a nightmare for our family with a newborn baby. Despite our requests inadequate action was taken and completely biased towards landlord. They did not wanted to fix the problem nor let us end contract amicably. Our family suffered health wise and financially penalised. The team will never come to have an amicable conversation and just avoid calls. I wouldn't recommend them.. they have caused so much harm to us. Just to add to your comment, the issue was not faced by building which was confirmed by checking with several neighbours and it was an appartment problems as there were holes in kitchen cabinet and bathtub which was known to landlord and previously some pest control devices were found but did not do regular pest control and still rent the appartment. Further building management confirmed that they are not responsible for anything that happens inside appartment. Still appartment was rented to us and we were made to suffer so much finacially and mentally. It was a torture everyday pleading for help to either fix the problem, find a new accommodation or let us end the contract. But your team had no empathy whatsoever that even they can come up for a discussion and kept delaying.

Very poor experience as a tenant. They do not bother about the issues and always favour the landlord.

I can’t state how bad this agent is. I am a landlord and have been with this company, previously Paul Carr, for many years. Since JP took over the service has plummeted. Communication from them on repairs and reports is painfully slow. Weeks turn into months. Their agents don’t have basic knowledge and escalating to senior management achieved nothing. I have asked twice for details on how to leave them and have been ignored. Avoid this company.
