Absolutely awful letting agency. They will take as much of your deposit as possible for the slightest reasons, I was left without hot water or heating for almost a week in the middle of winter and offered no alternative or compensation. Rude staff and awfully unorganised
What agent could do to change your mind?
Extortionate fees, don't expect your deposit back.

I agree, they have no go in them, nothing is urgent, cannot get things sorted out. Pay them enough money they should work for the tenant, after all without tenants there would be no landlords. Would not recommend them ...

Thank you for your review and sorry to hear you are disappointed with our service. However I have found some of the comments you have made to be incorrect: The charges to you on vacating totalled to £140, this included a clean of the lounge carpet which by the picture we took on the day you vacated is heavily marked ,This also included a clean to oven, Dishwasher, defrost the freezer which you were informed (via your vacate letter) needed to be defrosted proper to your checkout and to re ...

Completely overpriced. Some fees are understandable, but for the service and legal documents I recieved, this was not justified.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Leave the sitting tenant in the property, have a responsible person check out on vacating the property. Be polite and Peter could have questioned Suzanne and not backed her entirel her work was attrocious and he didn't care, all he wanted was our fee. Martins and Co. are a franchise, they openly do not care how their branches handle customers, both landlords and tenants.
