The Darlows Lettrak online letting system is challenging, to put it kindly. If it hadn't been for Darlows' letting associate Emma Wilson, who was knowledgable, patient, professional and very kind, it's likely we'd have pulled out of renting our new home despite the fact that ...

Dear Golnaz Rafei,
Your feedback is very important to us and we'd like to look into this further as it does not correlate with our previous discussions and our understanding of the service rendered for both the letting of your property or the sale. Could you please email us at cardiff.lettings@darlows.co.uk with the full details so that we can investigate. We hope to hear from you soon so we can resolve your issue as quickly as possible.

I couldn't agree more. Darlows are totally inefficient. I have paid for a fully managed service also and the experience is dreadful. I wouldn't advise anyone to use them. Absolutely appalling communitarian and service ....get very little from their high fees. Don't touch them if you're a landlord. Left hand doesnt know what the right hand is doing and quite rude people. ...
