1.00 /5

I solemnly and earnestly urge anyone considering renting with Charles David Casson agency to completely avoid. It was winter months, and within just the second week of renting. There was (No Heating), (No Hot Water), (No Communal Cleaner), even though all was officially declared in the contract. I called and emailed the agency as a matter of urgency due to the ice cold winter, the response was extremely slow and unbothered, they replied weeks later “we will sort it out”. A month went on and they didn’t. Still winter, Again I called and emailed, Another agent told me that my property manager had been “fired from the agency due to complaints”, didn’t surprise me in the slightest, so I told the new agent the problems with the property. After two additional months went on, an agent came and topped up the property meter, this agent said to me “the tenants had used to much heating why everything ran out”. I had never heard such nonsense in my life, it was winter and heating is a necessity. I also mentioned the cleaning, she said: “they are finding a new cleaner”. It didn’t sound sincere, it sounded like an excuse. Not to mention I also heard shuffling, like something living in the attic, I asked the another tenant who confirmed it was indeed what I thought, (RATS) living in the attic. This tenant told me that he also complained about the same issues but the agency did nothing. To cut a long story short, the property was utterly filthy and unhygienic, I’ve never seen anything like it, the same reoccurring issues happened many months after this and Casson was unbothered to fix them, they thought I was a fool, they thought wrong. So this time I called the council who came promptly to inspect the property. They found out the boiler had issues, hence no heating, no hot water. The second business director who was notified by the council was also at the property, he was simply unqualified, Unintelligent and lacking in every quality to run an agency. He tried his best to be condescending with me by making it out as if the issues were in my head, fortunately the council was there and could see the Issues, I put him in his place with words of wisdom and he went as silent as a mouse, which made me laugh Inside my head. I knew it wouldn’t be long before I left. God is great.

Whilst your personal comments are not appreciated, we are sorry you felt this way. You lived in a shared house and yes the heating did break down a few times due to a boiler failure but this was attended to promptly on every occassion. As discussed with you in detail we were let down by the regular cleaner and so a new one was found, however it was also the responsibility of all tenants to keep the kitchen clean and not leave washing up etc. As you are aware the council attended the property and found it to be n a compliant state and they did not require any further action. As a gesture of goodwill we did instruct a pest controller to investigate at the landlords expense and there was no evidence of rats in the loft. We did not receive complaints from the other 5 tenants you shared the house with. We wish you all the best with your future.
