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

Probably one of, if not the, worst firms I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I rented my flat out using them in 2008, they were dreadful. Cannot believe they are still in ... Read Full Review

On moving in the place needed cleaned from top to bottom, the following month the standing order they were supposed to set up didn't take out my rent putting me in arrears and having to pay my landlord directly. On leaving I was given a huge list of intended charges including and not limited ... 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

The way the office manager spoke to me was completely out of order. Back in June I was going to rent a property, but the Landlord withdrew, but I was not offered all the fees I had paid back, despite none of it being my ... 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
The agent does not seem to care about tenants. They only care about Landlords. They need to improve their customer service urgently.
The monthly payment was OK, I think, but their other fees are extortionate.

Awful service right from the start! They took my money and then made it so difficult to actually rent the house I ended up nearly homeless and having to pay out to another agent for another property. When I complained about branch staff they fobbed me off to the head office and then I get an awful ... Read Full Review

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

Appalling and thoroughly depressing experience. Property was unfit for habitation on arrival - urine soaked carpets. Agent refused to visit and inspect without my paying them. Sent a contractor to clean carpets with my items in situ and I have informed them the urine smell has come back through as ... Read Full Review

I have recently relocated from 40 miles away, I had my daughter look around the property and once I had decided to go ahead, all the process was smooth and the communication excellent.

On the whole I was very happy with the Lettings Team at Poole. The referencing went through quickly and the whole process went smoothly. There were delays with bringing the property up to scratch but to be fair that was down to the landlord taking his time. David and his team also allowed me to ... Read Full Review
