Please be aware, if you place tenants in your house through this business, they will not allow you to enter your own property again for any reason if it is tenanted. I have 4 houses with them, one has been abandoned, I told them that it had and they didn’t even my email telling them. The market rates being charged for all our tenants are drastically under market value. They allowed over £7,000 of rent arrears to occur, recommends eviction proceedings and then did nothing. THIS BUSINESS WILL PREVENT YOU FROM ACCESSING YOUR OWN PROPERTIES. The photo below was from a tenanted property, I was told they had done inspection, They didn’t provide any evidence of inspections recently, and the beautiful house that I decorated and was freshly carpeted is ruined. Thousands of £££ to repair and £££££ lost in rent. Obviously I’m concerned that they are not looking aster the other houses, But I’ve been told I can’t enter under any circumstances. They were going to allow a lb estate agent in last week but that got concept on tv wished of the other 50% shareholder. Be very careful who you invest with. I’m dealing with a solicitor, but it’s going to be a long and painful process. Shocking business, Andrew and Nick I will see you in court my lovelies.

Hi Charlotte, We take reviews seriously, so we want to respond clearly to each of your points, as our records tell a very different story. On access to the properties: this is correct, and it's to protect YOU from breaching the law. You are not currently a licensed landlord, which has been confirmed by Rent Smart Wales. Entering a tenanted property in that position would put you in breach, and that position wouldn't change even with the correct training completed. This has been confirmed independently by Rent Smart Wales, our legal helpline and a compliance expert. We don't make these rules, they exist to protect tenants and landlords alike, and we won't help anyone break them. On rents being below market value: every tenant was placed, and every rent set, by your own business partner, not by us. On the property pictured: the tenant is known to you personally and previously carried out renovation work in exchange for a reduced rent, including work that was due to be completed in that property. We'd be glad to discuss the specifics privately. On inspections: our records show the inspection report, setting out our concerns in detail, was opened on your account four separate times. We have the dates on file. On the arrears and eviction: we can only advise, pursuing a tenant through the courts is the landlord's decision. We recommended exactly that on multiple occasions and served the correct notices, but the decision was made on your side that the costs were too high to proceed. On valuations: we arranged all of them, and they were then cancelled at your other agents request (they said you had cancelled them). We're always happy for people to make up their own minds. We're confident our records support everything above, and we'd welcome the chance to resolve this properly and privately as suggested previously. Regards, The Letting Station

We obviously do all the usual things you would expect from a modern estate agent but where we are different is in our approach and expertise in more specialist areas and some of the things we do a little differently. From our unique valuation and new home packs that we give to all our customers to the care and attention we give to marketing every single property with professional photography and copy writing, at The Letting Station you are in great hands. Our branch is ideally located to cover the whole of Cardiff and if you do want a free valuation then please call in to see us, visit the website at www.thelettingstation.co.uk or telephone the team on 029 2002 0880.
