BUNCH OF JOKERS

Very bad service

Bloody clowns! Sorted a viewing for 6 pm and left 1 hour early from work to make it on time. After driving 2 hours I was waiting 30 minutes the agent who wouldn.t pick up his phone . Then also found the train station which was 8 minutes drive and they told me 6 minutes walk , same was advertised on zoopla. WASTE OF TIME!

Worst experience ever. From day one of me making an offer on a flat to rent and paying the holding fee, it was nothing but hassle. They obviously don't communicate within their team as I would receive phone calls from 3 different people, telling me different things. The referencing and credit check were complete within 2 days - I received a call from the company running the checks telling me everything was perfect and we were good to go. However Streets Ahead were telling me otherwise. On the day we were due to move into the flat, we received a phone call. This is while we were driving on the motorway to Brighton to collect my boyfriend's stuff. Telling us that we wouldn't be able to move into the flat today because it hadn't been cleaned... We were later told that it was because the tenants hadn't moved out. So many lies and confusion. The next day they said we could move in - we turned up and the flat was filthy and still hadn't been cleaned. They said we would not be able to move in until around 10pm that night. All this drama left a bad taste and we withdrew from the deal. WORST AGENCY EVER. They completely messed up what was meant to be a fun time for my boyfriend and I.

Called twice this week and both times hung up on because they could not understand me

By far the worst estate agents I've ever dealt with. The degree of unprofessionalism they display is horrific and I regret ever renting with them. My partner and I have been renting from the 1st of December and have had nothing but trouble from them. It's remarkable how, before I signed the lease, I was pestered with calls and repeated emails urging me to rent a property with Streets Ahead. As soon as we signed and handed over our deposit, we heard nothing more from them. We were constantly passed from person to person when we tried to enquire further with regards to our moving in. When we eventually received the keys to the property we discovered that the house was in an utterly disgusting state. It was evident that NOTHING had been cleaned. The toilet seat was completely broken, ELEVEN lightbulbs needed to be replaced. There were clumps of hair on the floor, congealed food glued to the fridge and unwanted junk (including a pair of dirty socks, thanks) that the previous tenants left. I've attached images for your viewing pleasure - please do admire the vacuum cleaner, which was purchased that day and was used to hoover just the bedroom. We immediately wrote a detailed letter outlining everything that was broken/required repair and requested that the house be cleaned to habitable standards as we were due to move in that weekend. We heard... nothing. The next day we tried to call the office three times. Each time we were told that our property manager - Kelly Alleyne - was on another call, but would return our call as soon as she was free. We heard... nothing. We then went to the office the following day (in the middle of trying to move) to speak to the manager, Kunal Patel. He certainly made all the appropriate noises, claimed Kelly was off sick the day before (?!?!?!?!?) but she would respond to us the next week. No apology was made for the state of the property, no remuneration offered. I did indeed receive a message from Kelly as promised (I have come to learn, this is a miracle) assuring me she would call later. SPOILER ALERT. She did not call. I could go on, but I'm sure you get the picture. We have been emailing and calling for TWO MONTHS trying to sort out the most basic of amenities. It took six weeks to receive an inventory checklist which was promised to us the day we moved in. We eventually received compensation for the mess we found the property in, but all the repair work they promised would take place as not occurred. We currently have no lights in the bathroom or lounge and barely any light in the kitchen because we are waiting for repair work to be taken out by Streets Ahead. However, as Kelly as ignored the last six emails we have sent, I doubt this will happen. AVOID STREETS AHEAD AT ALL COSTS ** Helpful Hint ** If you are a current tenant renting through Streets Ahead, and have trouble with them, contact the landlord directly and make them aware of the situation. They're an appalling company who don't deserve any business.

Tragic service to my elderly godparents. Members of staff are rude like Pawel and do nothing to help , lazy agent

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL EXPERIENCE !!! Beware of these DODGY people - I was ROBBED AT THE PROPERTY I was renting due to their negligence to maintain it and replace the balcony door, which the burglar has used to break into the house !! After I told them I'm moving out, they've arranged a viewing behind my back, inviting 10 people who walked around and touched my stuff - I've had a hidden CCTV recording !! At last they have arranged a check out without letting me know over the Easter Bank Holiday while I was moving out, unable to be present at it !! Then they said they will charge me for the broken balcony door that they've previously promised to fix - WHAT A LAUGH !! I wish to all the people I've dealt with within this agency to rot in hell - hope that Karma gets you and turns your life into a sick nightmare as you deserve it; people like you shouldn't have a right to breathe.

I can only assume that the 5 star ratings come from tenants who have only just started to deal with Streets Ahead. Everything was fast paced at the beginning then it all started to fall apart after we moved in to our property, getting worse and worse throughout our tenancy which ended terribly. Unhelpful, lying, unprofessional and unsympathetic. Not only that, communication within their offices is horrendous and incredibly frustrating. I would not reccomend at all.
