We rented our property from them in 2013 and are still here. It was fine, no bother at all. Rhys was professional, they had the odd new guy show us round at the start but apart from that it was all ... Read Full Review

This agency charges massive fees yet fails to deliver any kind of service. You will be chasing them from the first day, doing their work for them. Then when you come to leave, they will try and fleece you for as much deposit as they possibly can. I found my dealings with them painful and the ... Read Full Review
Acted in a way that might have shown anything but disdain for me and my interests.
Dubious fees, taking money where ever they can.

Normally I\'m not one to write negative reviews, simply because I just can\'t be bothered with it. However, sometimes I feel it is necessary to do so in order to warn other consumers and prevent them from possibly making the same mistakes and going through the same pains my wife and I went through. In this particular scenario, I want to talk about Accents Lettings Department in Fenstanton. Time after time, my wife and I have been disappointed by the consistent lack of customer service from their part. The house we moved into a year ago has had nothing but problems, our power shower breaking and having to wait 3 weeks in order for it to get fixed is one of many examples. Nonetheless, my wife and I have been patient and never really complained. Finally, after a year of being good, honourable tenants we have moved out, only to find out that the problems and pains are still persistent. Accents checkout report is simply ridiculous, they are holding us accountable for things such as a missing smoke alarm even though when we moved into the property there weren\'t any and Accent came out and had their contractor install some for us (apparently they are magically missing now). They are also holding us accountable for broken light bulbs even though we spent about £45 in new light bulbs because Accent wouldn\'t provide us with them when we moved in. Also, when we moved in, there was unpaid balance on the utilities by the previous tenants that we had to take care of. Despite of all this, we just dealt with it and moved on. I also want to point out that Accent cleaning standards to move out are excessive, unreasonable and unfair. My wife contracted a professional cleaning service to take care of the house when we moved out only to find out that it is not clean enough according to their standards. When we first moved into the property there was cat hair all over the carpets and dog waste in the garden. It is my personal belief, as it should be everyone\'s, that you should leave a house the way it was given to you; however, in this case we took the time to leave the house in better conditions than it was when we received it a year ago. Anyways, hopefully my voice will be heard by Accents top Management in order for this issue to be resolved and us get our deposit back in full. If we don\'t get it back, it will be regrettable to know that other tenants and good people just like my wife and I will be screwed over in the future. Respectfully, Aldo Delgado

My husband and I have recently rented a property that was managed by Accent Property. We were extremely good tenants and kept the property immaculately. We had only positive dealings with our landlord but any dealings with Accent Property gave us the impression they were in short, money grabbing. ... Read Full Review

As a student, you just shouldn't go here. The administration fee is far too much for a student too pay and is grossly unfair. I spoke to my mother about it (as she is a landlady and very experienced in dealing with estate agents) and she could not believe how much they were asking for. Secondly, ... Read Full Review
Bear in mind that some of your prospective customers are students, who do not have the money or experience that your other customers may have. If you\'re going to reject tenants from renting tell them as soon as you know rather than waiting for them to get in touch, what are you paid for after all?

This was our first experience of using a letting agent and we cannot praise Accent highly enough. They immediately understood our requirements and presented us with a number of suitable properties resulting in us renting the perfect home.

We have rented for 1 yr and the whole experience has been awful. Staff are unhelpful at best.

Accent is the kind of lettings agency which landlords love but tenants hate. A shiny office and a shiny website, all paid for by obscene fees charged to tenants. Hundreds of pounds charged for every kind of fee they can think of, fees like checkOUT fee, charged when you check-in - such practice is ... Read Full Review

Shocking, that is all I can say about this company. It was very laughable reading an article in the local paper about their award winning customer service, since none exsisited for us. Countless phone calls and none of them returned, e-mails which were uninformative, staff who were rude (even the ... Read Full Review

We found a property through Accent late last month and were due to move in this weekend. The bailiffs were meant to be going around and removing the current tenants as they refused to leave and were apparently booked on the 28th Feb. We got a call last week from Accent saying that the bailiffs ... Read Full Review
Refunded our money without court letters having to be sent and generally don\'t be such sh*t agents :)

28 Mar 2013I believe that you have received a full refund of your administration fee, if you believe this is incorrect please feel free to contact us on 01480...
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
No procedure set.
