Having used various lettting agents around the country this is by far the worst letting agency. From the first day I moved into the property, they have not checked it properly and the hot water and heating supply was not turned on. When asked about this, their technician wanted to charge me for having to visit to set it up. I had to raise that this was their responsibility in order not to be charged extra. They brought a dirty washing machine which apparently was taken out of the property initially to charge me extra in the final rent. The property was very superficially clean, kitchen was sticky. They do not provide all the necassary information and they try to get as much money as possible from a tenant, their paperwork for contract renewal is not communicated to the tenant by the required date that they have supposed to set as notice periods and althought they do not clarly state that it is not permitted to extend a tenancy contract by a week or so which is something that other credible letting agents provide and rather they want to charge you fully the month's rent. The overall service to tenants is very poor as other tenants have also stated and does not deserve even one star. I would never recommend this letting agency to anyone I know. The landlords are by far the worst too.

Dear Mandy, I am very sorry to read of your dissatisfaction. Checking the independent inventory inspection for the start of your tenancy, it reports that, ‘the property is in excellent order throughout and has been professionally cleaned’. This inventory was signed by you as accurate and accepted with one annotation, a mark on a carpet. In such a situation please let us know of any issue so we can get a cleaner back for you. Checking our maintenance log I see that on your move in day, your boiler was switched off. Our Property Manager sent a boiler repair man, who switched the boiler on for you, at no cost that evening. With regard to the washing machine, the property was offered for rent without a washing machine. As you requested a machine, the landlords bought and supplied a machine. This machine was used, apologies if it was not clean on arrival. With regard to your end of tenancy, notice to end, counts from your rent due date. Under your AST tenancy agreement, your rent months run in calendar months from rent due date, rather than the day you advise intent to leave. If any of us can assist further, please let me know. Kind regards, Julian Bessey - Director
