Homeowners: If you share a boundary or live next to a Tenanted property that this company represents, we feel for you. They do not care about legal responsibilities, and managed to ruin neighbourly relations within a couple of months of first dealing with them. Even when owning your your property as we do you will get treated lower than the landloard and treated like a tenant with no rights in the matter, even though we have told them we are the owners they still don't give the respect or decency we deserve or that is to be expected towards another person especially when sharing a boundary. We share a boundary with one of their managed properties, we organised works after one part fell down in bad weather, and put up a lovely, safer new fence, and agreed a low contribution from their landlord due to us wanting to upgrade it understandably. It took them a week to inform us of any problem they had with the work, they claimed there was some tiles that were lifted up by the contractor. However, instead of asking for our contractors details to inquire about the alleged damage (which I gave them anyway) they outright refused to speak to them for no reason other that " I don't take orders from anyone other that the landlord". Now they are with holding our £250 as the Landlord 'had to' pay for extra work that could have been done through the contractor - had they gone about things the right way, no-one would have been out of pocket. It has been terrible management from the beginning and don't even get us started on the dodgy quotes. Now they are using distract tactics (sending us quotes we're not responsible for) which amounts to emotional blackmail. A) we told them to please stop. B) gave them all the contractors details. C) asked for proof that this 'damage' was in fact caused by our contractors and they subsequently showed no evidence to support any of this, with photos over 6 months old. If you do end up dealing with this company for whatever reason do be careful and get everything in writing (although not even that will guarantee they will resolve your situation fairly, but will at least cover yourself). Do not agree any generous terms with them, they will take advantage of your good nature. I would also recommend to avoid speaking with Chris Allison as all he has done is make things worse and now has started to ignore the issue and our emails entirely. He is supposed to be the Head of Property Management so I think that tells you all you need to know about this company. If you are being mistreated do what we are doing and keep at them, learn your rights and get all your evidence in order.

Unfortunately my experience hasn't been good. You don't speak to a human and I was asked 3 times to complete a Profile even though I did it the first time. It took 3 days for someone to answer our enquiry to ciew a propery and we even received an alert daying that the property which matched our criteria only then to be told an hour later that the property was no longer available. No human touch and definitely no customer service. Very disappointed.
This place is just a waste. They ask for so much info such as passport credit score right to rent all before a viewing and when you send it over they stop answering your emails but they are quick to reply at the beginning but after you send …
