This estate agent keeps deleting negative reviews on Google. The Hornchurch branch are absolutely disgusting, they harassed a poor vulnerable woman who just lost her husband into selling her house without her even finding a place to move to. They told me they only deal with people who don't have a ... 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.
