Jen, In this instance we cannot provide a personalised response to the comments you have made as we have no record of anyone by the name of the 'Jen Dodds' renting a flat via ourselves. However, we would like to clarify that we are transparent about all agency fees that we apply (All fees applicable are clearly listed on the reservation form and tenancy agreements) As such, we feel that fees that we apply are not 'absurd' as you state as you would have queried these prior to signing a ...

Why would you even mention disclosing my name if I never disclosed this myself? Instead of responding to my complaint which I logged with you over 2 months ago (which I still have not received any response to) you decide to reply publicly just to attempt to save your reputation - all this does is further show your company's incompetence and how your priorities are messed up! Surely a customer contacting you directly and internally should have priority over a third-party review website!? I ...

Hello, Having reviewed your comments we would like to clarify once more that we do not accept unsolicited cold calls. This was communicated to you professionally yet you still attempted to proceed with the call in order to gather information. We work in a busy office environment and had genuine calls waiting from existing/potential tenants and as such we had to explain that we would not proceed with the call. Regards, Hitchen and Co. ...

Hello Hitchen. Thanks so much for your reply. I would like to point out that you are 0% recommended on this website, and that there is likely to be a reason for this. Perhaps if you were a little less defensive you might be able to improve customer service skills in your staff, response rates to issues, and maybe rectify the myriad of fees you charge to unsuspecting tenants. These things would go a long way to perhaps pushing your average up to two stars, or three! I would be grateful that this ...
