Very reliable and easy to get hold of. Turned the whole letting process around very easily...a little too keen to get the paperwork signed at times. Generally very impressed, thank you!

Duck and Hedges were the worst experience in letting in 25 years as a landlady. Aside from withholding rent, they lied about repairs, double charged for items, and kept the deposit meant to be registered with the my deposit scheme. All in all I lost about ‚£3000. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
This agent should be closed down. Until they actually retrain and acquire some honesty they shouldn't be touched. I hope the more rigorous rules brought in Oct 1 will force them to clean up their act.

Just to echo all of the other bad reviews, D&H should be avoided at all costs. Lazy, inept and dishonest. They provided us with very little in the way of a service over a 12+ month rental. Issues with the property were not addressed. Paperwork ...
