Several years ago I moved to the Midlands for 3 years as a mature student, renting out my Bournemouth flat through Allan and Bath. To this day I honestly believe that they set me up for what was to follow. Within 2 days of handing them the keys they notified me that a young lady who had been on ... Read Full Review

I rented from this agent when they were formerly known as Saxon Management, the whole process of renting with them was stressful and extremely intrusive. I was made to feel not worthy enough to rent from them despite having a salary in excess of what 1 of their staff members could earn in 5 ... Read Full Review

Process of finding tenants went smoothly and the team at Poole did a good job in this regard. Things went downhill once the property management team stepped in. I was not kept informed of issues at the property, maintenance costs were always 30 % above market rates (including the gas safety ... Read Full Review

I finished my tenancy with Allan and Bath on the 31st of July. It is almost the end of September now and i have not received any money back from my deposit. More than a month after the end of the tenancy did I find out how much the Landlord wanted to keep. I sent an email back saying I do not ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

The agent does not seem to care about tenants. They only care about Landlords. They need to improve their customer service urgently.


Comments on Agent Fees

The monthly payment was OK, I think, but their other fees are extortionate.

Do not rent a property from this company. Very poor service and check out fees they will still try and charge you for incorrect things even when the property is left in better condition when moved in. Do not move in unless you get your inventory first as they sent ours a week later and totally ... Read Full Review

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.
