They never respond on time and none of the issues were sorted on time. The deductions made from the deposit is too high and the bills aren’t provided. The deposit won’t be returned back even after a month!

Hi Shreya, Thank you for your review, as you were aware and at the time you left this review, we were still waiting for responses from your housemates. The deductions were fair as to the condition you left the property in. Many thanks Kings Estates

Okay estates, untill you find out that 1. they do not actually represent a lot of their property, only "commercial it" and 2. are happy to do so with properties that it has been shown, documented its unfit for health reason. Please acoir, they take advantage of students.

Awful customer service. Some of the staff are completely incompetent and it appears too much effort to assist clients.

Hi Sharon, Thank you for your review and I am sorry you feel you have not received the service you would expect. You had requested a floorplan for the property your son is due to move into in the next week. We had explained we did not hold a floor plan on file but could provide marketing photos if that would be of use to you. All the best, Kings Estates

I never had a direct experience with the Kings estate but when I was looking for renting property, I see their posts and ad for a property. I noticed many times they always quotes higher and then reduce the price of the property. This happened for my old property which don’t even fits more than 2 can stay but advertise that as large 2 bedroom property.

Hi Darshan, Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you have felt the need to give us a 1 star review despite never actually dealing with us as per your review. You have noted the advertising for your old property as a criticism but have given the other agent advertising your old flat a 5 star review. I have tried contacting you directly with no response but i would hope you remove this review as there was no need to leave it in the first place. All the best Kings Estates

Awful communication, we had a massive water leak that was causing mould in two bedrooms which is a health concern, and we had to constantly call up Kings to get updates as they wouldn't respond to half of our emails and they were hardly ever proactive in letting us know exactly when contractors would come. We never felt like we were a priority to them when we had mould growing in our bedrooms...

Agent Jade is the best one on that team, she is professional and always meets tenants on time, considering the benefits of both landlords and tenants. But I can not say any good words to other staff, as they always eat their words, but we are so lucky we have all emails recorded as proof. If necessary, we are prepared to look for some legal aid to protest ourselves. And we will never find this company anymore.

They take long to organise repairs (like a week to have someone come look at your cooker) and mislead tenants with lies - a lot of examples I could give - first one that comes to mind when applying for a property we were told to pay holding deposit even if we have no guarantor as the landlord will be happy with any rent in advance that we can afford. Having taken the money, they hold us we need to pay 12 months rent in advance - I understand it is the landlords decision but why did Veronica say any advance rent will be ok without checking with the landlord first? It cost us over £500 for a guarantor company - I regret not reporting this to property Ombudsman and getting our money back from then and Veronica hired. Since we started renting with the agency, any dealings with them are awful and will surely not consider using them again whether we will need a place to rent or house to buy

Hi Barbara, Thank you for your review. To clarify, you reported your hob not working on Christmas day to which you were responded to immediately. You were booked in with the contractor at their earliest appointment. I appreciate the frustration but as you are aware, many companies and contractors are not working normal hours over the Christmas and New Year period which is why they could not be booked in earlier. Regarding your other comments, any decision would have been based on the outcome of your references. Many thanks Kings Estates
