DISGRACEFUL! They must be the world's worst letting agents. I was a tenant for 6 years, never in arrears, yet was never offered a rolling contract so was forced to stay there so my 6 year old son had security. Every year a 6% rent increase and never any maintenance. After finally moving ... Read Full Review

Don't touch these guys with a barge pole. Entered my property multiple times without permission (at least 5 or 6 different occasions). Only reason these guys are still in business is due to the broken UK housing market. In an industry where you are required to be competitive to survive, these guys ... Read Full Review
Very expensive. If you want to renew your tenancy you pay the fees all over again - though I guess this might be industry standard.
