I was told there would be no point in offering as it would likely be rejected. the property was on the market for £1,950 pcm and I would have ... Read Full Review

When we moved in everything was dirty, walls dirty, furnishes were damaged. They told us that we could break the contract as it was not in good ... Read Full Review
