Should try replying sometime

Start of tenancy: We are new tenants with Manning Stainton. We had mainly dealt with Jan during the viewings, Kimberley/John during the referencing process and Kay during the key collection. I found Jan to be very lovely and friendly during ALL our viewings with Manning Stainton. She was very accommodating and even made us laugh! Kimberley and John were really helpful, clear & prompt with their responses during the referencing process; which made made me feel at ease. Five stars! During tenancy: We have been living at the flat for almost 3 years. We have ongoing maintenance issues not sorted, they arrange irregular inspections, they initially screwed up registering our deposits and the property managers who were supposed to care for us during this time have horrific terrible communication between them so far. End of tenancy: The landlord had tried to take my whole deposit for damages in my flat when I decided to leave. Being lucky enough to have experience with the DPS system and having evidence (photos & videos) sent to the managing agent & DPS of all the repairs that had not been sorted throughout my tenancy, I had fought my case against this and had managed to get back 2/3 of my deposit. Given I had tenanted the flat for 5-6 years there were naturally some damages which I put some of my own money towards from the deposit. Overall, manning Stainton weren’t good at looking after the flat in general. Poor communication with the tenant and amongst themselves, also not efficient enough when carrying out any repairs to the flat.

Cowboys who use every sleazy tactic under the sun to get you to up your bid.

Very disappointed with Balgores. Extremely unprofessional not wanting to pass my offer on to a seller despite it being on the market for many months. I called back a month later to ask if my offer could be put forward a second time round and ended up with a very argumentative staff member who still refused. No idea why they are deciding what should be put forward and what shouldn't, no wonder it's been on the market for months - avoid at all costs!

Scheduled viewing at property cancelled due to tennant getting covid. Agreed we would look to reschedule for the weekend if possible, but was left with them to contact me for when I can view. I am not told they have an offer accepted. Poor communication.

Had to chase them up for viewings, chase them to make an offer, call multiple times to move forward, wait for days…. Only to follow up again, and find out that they were going with someone else and the agency had “forgotten” to let us know. Very unprofessional!! Would not recommend.
