We applied for a place in Whitson, they sent the application to the wrong landlord about an address in Newington. When they acknowledged the error, they claimed it was then sent to the correct landlord and within 1hr 30 minutes they had rejected the application and decided to go with another tenant and were taking a deposit from them.
Effectively, the application was too late to be considered by the correct landlord as Umega originally sent it to the wrong person. This error has cost us the opportunity of this property.
I would not recommend Umega.
EDIT: Rebecca has now admitted they decided not to proceed with the application rather than the landlord. In short, Umega lied in the first instance.
Avoid.

Hi Darren, thank you for leaving this feedback for us. We really appreciate you taking the time to do. It helps us recognise any blind spots we might have and any ways in which we can improve. I have taken a look over the application process here. The current market is moving very quickly, and is very competitive. It's not unusual for a property to be snapped up within the hour. We're happy to support tenants to strengthen their applications for future to aid them in their search as we know finding the perfect home at the moment isn't easy. We're so sorry to read that you won't be recommending Umega. It is unfortunate that a small error was made here and left you feeling disappointed. With dealing with the volumes we are, these things can happen, and I can see efforts were made to remedy. We wish you the best of luck with your search for the perfect home. If our paths cross again, hopefully we can get an application over the line for you in future.
