I would NOT recommend this letting agency based on my experience as a tenant - if I was able to I would give this letting agency no star on here - I would. Throughout my tenancy, I experienced numerous issues with the property upon moving in which were repeatedly reported but either remained unresolved or were only temporarily addressed. These included the heater coming off the wall which posed a significant hazard, no bed mattresses in a property that is advertised as fully furnished hence I was unable to sleep in a property I was paying for until they finally sorted out mattresses for me, persistent drainage problems, foul odours, waste water issues, damaged flooring and floorboards, pest concerns, overflowing bins and waste management problems, and a washing machine that remained unusable for an extended period despite multiple reports. Contractors were sent to the property on few occasions after repeated reporting, but many of the problems continued and required repeated follow-up. The drainage and odour issues were particularly frustrating and had a significant impact on my day-to-day living conditions. The situation became so serious that I felt I had no option but to involve the local council’s Environmental Health department due to the condition of the property and the lack of meaningful progress in resolving the issues. I also experienced an attempted burglary during my tenancy. The development had no CCTV coverage and there were poorly lit areas around the property, which raised serious concerns about safety and security. I emailed the letting agency and they kept shifting the blame on to Xenia Estates. I would email them and cc them in emails however nothing would get resolved. Despite the distress this caused, I felt there was very little support or reassurance provided. Communication was disappointing throughout. I had extensive email correspondence with Bethany Screeton regarding the ongoing issues however she was extremely unhelpful, defensive, often rude and condescending. Rather than focusing on resolving the concerns I was raising, I was advised not to use ChatGPT when drafting my emails, which felt entirely beside the point given the serious property and maintenance issues that were being reported. As a tenant, I expected a property that was properly maintained, safe, and fit to live in, along with responsive management when problems arose. Instead, I spent a considerable amount of time chasing repairs, reporting recurring issues, and ultimately seeking assistance from external authorities. Overall, my experience was extremely disappointing, and I would encourage prospective tenants to carefully consider these issues before renting through this agency. The provision of new mattresses was not a demand made after moving in. It was an agreed condition of the tenancy, confirmed in writing before occupation. The mattresses were not present when I collected the keys (see attached proof). They have also tried to state that the council disagreed with my concerns and “closed my case”. Following inspection, Housing Standards formally identified issues relating to ventilation, drainage/odours and raised flooring, and requested remedial action within 28 days (see attached proof) which you did not meet. Finally, the tenancy ultimately ended by mutual agreement following these ongoing issues and failure to repair them.
