Beyond disgusting. If I can't trust you with a valuation, there's no way I'm trusting ... 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.

Complaints Procedure

In the first instance please put your complaint in writing to our Sales Manager, Christina Lancaster. We are also a member of the Property Ombudsman Scheme
