Really disappointing.... started off fantastic for the first few months of being with them (we had previously been with another agency who had been particularly difficult)..nothing was too much trouble and staff couldn't do more to help or assist us and I even said to them what a breath of fresh air they were. As the tenancy went on problems arose in the house (the main one being the conservatory roof panel flew off in the wind!!)... we had to bodge it ourselves for a couple of days until they could get the landlords approval to allow someone over to fix it. Every time we phoned to find out where we were at they would always shift the blame onto the landlord "Oh he's not replied", "Oh we can't get hold of him" etc etc... Which sounded poor really considering when I called him myself he got back to me within hours and was extremely polite and co-operative with me. It always sounded like a typical "Oh it's not our fault it's someone elses"... Then they conducted an inspection without letting us know...we only found out about this about a week later when they sent us the report of their inspection. When I asked when and why they had been in the house without permission (24 hours notice) they said they had sent out emails to all tenants but the email system had failed (if the email system failed why not call everyone on the morning of the day you are attending). We still kept our cool with them but then on check out when they claimed we had to pay for "Cleaning/Oven Cleaning" when I had provided them with all the correct invoices from the companies who had carried out these tasks before we departed... They tried to argue that it wasn't professionally clean enough so they had to send their people back in to give it a further go!!.... We didn't even get told beforehand that they were sending people in we just got sent the bill afterwards! We also had to pay some stupid jet washing charge for some ivy on the side of the property that was extortionate. When I asked about this they said it had nothing to do with them and again moved the blame onto the landlord. They all seemed to forget that I chased the council for months to get a tree cut back that was landing on the Landlords roof ... if I hadn't chased that for them it could have been catastrophic and caused the Landlord a LOT of money. I never did see any of these invoices for the supposed works that had been carried out that we asked to see. I would have complained more but we are lucky to be out of the rentals market now and have a house to renovate so it's just too time consuming and a big headache. Overall a big fat waste of money and very frustrating especially when you leave the property in a nicer condition than the inventory report was when we first arrived. The only good point for me personally was the communication after the inspections via letter, they always kept us updated about those but other than that very disappointing. This review is NOT including Mica who works there as she was fantastic from start to finish, bubbly, kind, efficient and the nicest lady I've ever dealt with at an estate agents.

Shocking customer service from rude staff. Upon complaining about being fleeced for £40 for a boiler cover replacement that not only was noted as broken but never arrived I was told my attitude was rude and that they would put down the phone if my complaint was continued! The director then said it was our responsibility as we had not informed them it hadn’t arrived and implied that if we contested it he would find other things to charge us for! Disgusting!!!
