After signing up for a tenancy with this estate agent, I would not recommend them to any prospective tenants. Firstly at the signing, they did not have a card machine in branch and so we had to pay the fees in cash, with the nearest cash machine being a fair walk away. It seems pretty silly that ...

Should not be so expensive, especially since they were very unhelpful if the person you usually speak to was not in work.
