"I would honestly say that..."

I would honestly say that Northwood Wirral are the worst letting agents that I have ever dealt with, substandard properties, non-existent customer service skills (except Sam/ Kim they tried on occasion to help), they are the type of agents that give letting a bad name. We moved into a property that we were told was long term let, from day one we had nothing but issues from the actual cleanliness of the property at handover – Claimed it had been professionally cleaned, well if that's what they call professional then I dread to think what their own homes are like it was thick with grime, disgusting and rather offensive that they would deem it acceptable for a new tenant. Every time there was an issue it was an uphill battle to get anything done, always an excuse from poor communication within the office to waiting on approvals basically taking no responsibility. In some cases repairs were not undertaken for over 100 days despite them stating that they will react within 28 days. Each email sent was ignored and constantly had to chase up the office for any sort of communication. Some of the issues we had Northwood Wirral staff were clearly unaware or lacked basic understanding of the legal requirements particularly when it came to electrical installation works in residential letting properties. The substandard level of some of the so called tradesmen they send out its debatable, more like odd job men that qualified tradespeople so they obviously do not have any quality management system in place. The staff are rude and incompetent and appear to never talk to each other or just have that much disrespect for you as a tenant they don't care. They're meant to act as the agent between you and the landlord but actually do nothing for you as a paying tenant but treat you with utter distain as if being a letting agent makes them any better than you and didn't even help us the tenant when the landlord breached contract and the were informed. Northwood Wirral don't reply to formal complaints raised just more evidence of the lack of professional and competent management at Heswall, that's if you can actually make a complaint as they have one generic inbox that when you chase up they claim to have not seen your email. Whilst our complaint was eventually acknowledged by Helen there was no formal rectification or response from the management pertaining to the issues raised just a statement trying to absolve themselves to which we responded and yet still nothing back. If you value sanity and a simple life do not bother entertaining a rental property through these cowboys its honestly not worth it. I've let properties in London, Dubai etc and these are by far the most substandard organisation that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with and advise anyone to steer clear of Northwood Heswall at all costs.
