Horrible agency would seriously avoid it at all costs, had an awful experience with them and can't find a single review on the internet anywhere were they've been given more than 1 star I'm so annoyed at my self for not looking for a review before going the through with the renting of the property it would have definitely saved me all the hassle I've had with them because I would have seen that their obviously not a good business to go with, shocking how the staff speak to you and treat you just awful really surprises me how their still running. Would never find myself writing a review but can't not after my experiences with freedom lettings.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Been a completely different set of people and agency : )

Hi, I am extremely sorry about you're experience with your let. If possible could you list the problems you have had that you feel were not resolved so we can improve service for future tennants and see where we went wrong.

Kind regards
Best of luck in the future

This letting agency is an absolute joke. Let them selves into the house when ever they like as they do not think they need permission. However it is very illegal to do this. They have also let themselves into the property that my partner lives in today while he was at work and left all of the doors wide open. House is falling apart, has single glazing windows and there is water coming from the bathroom light, so the bathroom is now out of use. And they are refusing to do anything about this. My ...
