such a terrible letting agency. they are rude. dont get work done on time and the person who answers the phone should be fired. He is so unprofessional at answering calls. They do not care about the properties they sell, just here for the comission

Dear Mr Pearce, Thank you for your review and I am sorry you feel you were not provided with the service you felt you should have received. Having checked through correspondence I can see we were actually the ones chasing paperwork on numerous occasions which was never returned by the prospective tenants. I do not appreciate you suggesting staff should be fired, perhaps this review is more of a reflection of yourself and your character rather than the service Kings Estates provide. All the best, Kings Estates

Don't ever rent from this agent!My friends and I rented a house near the university from them and when we first moved in, the whole house was very messy not livable at all and it affected our move in without any compensation provided. My friend clearly paid the full rent in one month and had a bank transfer to show them, but the agent said there was 80 pounds missing. When we checked out, the agent found a lot of problems that were not caused by us at all and deducted the entire deposit. We plan to get a lawyer to deal with this matter.

Dear Yui, Thank you for your review. The condition that you left the property in including cleanliness and damages has all been emailed to you and your housemates previously along with costings. You also had outstanding rent arrears. Kind regards Kings Estates

Never choose this agency if you want to live in a safe and undisturbed house. They will start viewing after you move in two months, we were disturbed almost every day for eight months, sometimes even three times a day, the contract says "viewing"should be negotiated together, but in fact they only inform the tenant unilaterally, they don't respect the tenant's privacy, we sent a lot of emails trying to communicate this problem, but every time they only said they have the key to the house can enter on their own to threaten us. Because of their threat we had to install cameras in the room to keep our property safe. We can't rest peacefully every weekend because we are worried that they will open the door at any time to enter.

Hi, Thank you for your review. I must add some truth to your review. You were always provided with notice for viewings and you all repeatedly refused access which was always respected. We never attended or entered when you said we could not come round. You moved an animal in to the premise and you did not keep the property clean. You were made well aware of when viewings for the following academic year were to take place and the process was drawn out because you kept refusing access. If you had allowed access the property would have been let far earlier and we would not have had to keep trying to arrange viewings. All the best in your new property. Kind regards Kings Estates

Worst agent ever. They are extremely rude to tenants. I don't know if they will be so rude to local people. On the last day, because the road was blocked, I could not move out before 10am, so I called the agent, and that man was extremely rude, he told me to get my things and get out. There were equipments in the house that were broken and always put off fixing it, the washing machine didn't work for weeks. The staff are always stalling but not solving the problem. They kept trying to put the blame on the tenant. Something happened that day, the road was blocked by the police. Also, they charged 80 pounds for the mouldy mattress which is not caused by human factors, and 50 pounds for a shower curtain rod that has been broken when we first moved in. I cannot control all the tenants in that property, but we kept three of the bedrooms and kitchen clean when we left. Maybe next time, if a facility breaks down, the agent should fix it immediately, not just tell the tenants stop using it, otherwise it is their responsibility.

Dear Anna, Thank you for your review. I am sorry you feel this way but the staff were not rude to you and you were advised well in advance of the time you had to vacate the property by. There were no issues with the roads in the area at that time. The property was not maintained and you were all made aware of the condition the property was left in at the end of the tenancy. No general maintenance issues were blamed on you as the tenants. I do hope you leave your next student house in a more suitable condition. All the best, Kings Estates

No one on the checkout lanes - went there at 8am on a Tuesday. I just plonked it all on the 1st checkout and eventually someone came to bleep it through. Seemed like I wasn't wanted? Like they didn't really want to manually scan my £80 shopping. Not sure they, the shop workers realised they have AI more advance than the human brain, robotics more agile than the human body and so, by using the checkout I'm hoping I can starve of redundancy for them. Also keep paying in cash, once CBDCs come in no cash, no freedom. But the opposite in Iceland - no self checkouts, actual real humans wanting your custom.

I don't like the behaviour of the tobacco sale point female staff
