Live underneath a property they rent out, currently flooded for the 4th time.
They only do anything when the council has been brought in to force their hand, leaving the properties they manage with broken appliances and mice as a result. Even their own maintenance ...

This review with regards to the conduct of this agent is correct ; AVOID AT ALL COSTS - in possession of endless evidence and email trails and they make fickle false statements regardless of the evidence you posses. They are aggressive and petty always denying what is evidenced even to go so far with the misinformation and denial of facts. Do not waste your time communicating with them its not worth the time you lose in your life as things are fabricated to the extent that they do not realize wh ...
