As a tenant if you have any problems with your property do not expect 1st Avenue to deal with it in any capacity. If they ever do deal with anything it will take as long as humanly possible and you will have to make numerous calls and send reminder emails just to find out whether anyone is even dealing with it let alone when it will get resolved.
We have been renting with 1st Avenue for just over a year now (myself and my boyfriend) and to say they are slow is an understatement. We have been without a washing machine now for well over 2 weeks and despite emailing several times it appears the issue is still unresolved. I called today to get an update and found out our 'contact' there has left although no one thought to inform us in any way even though we were addressing emails to her.
In all the time we have rented through them I don't think we have been able to deal with the same person twice so it's unsurprising that problems and queries never get addressed as no one in the office seems to be responsible for anything.
What agent could do to change your mind?
They could improve by actually doing their jobs as property MANAGERS and manage the property in a timely and professional manner.

Worst Avenue...

These Estate Agents are quite possibly the most incompetent and useless people I have ever come across. I'm not sure what they do in the office but it certainly isn't work. On average it takes them about a month to forward an email and two months to resolve any issues (and that's when you chase them regularly).
I cannot stress enough the need to avoid using these Estate Agents at all costs.

There may be a comment under this review saying it is fake but unfortunately for this unsatisfied customer, it is genuine.

I'm sorry hear about your bad experience with us, unfortunately we were going through a period of turmoil in property management that meant we were not doing our best work and I'm sorry that you had to see that. Once again my apologies.

Never respond to emails. Don't care when you make a complaint. Never get repairs sorted left for months on end. New member of staff every week to catch up on your issue.

What agent could do to change your mind?
We have delt with numerous staff all of whom struggle with taking responsibility for anything in relation for your tenancy. There is a huge lack of transparency, they have lied on multiple occasions and only when faced with legal action did they finally take notice and behave like a letting agent should. I am surprised that a few members of the team there are actually still employed. A couple have been nice in person but many seem to feel that their job role entails nothing except taking money and passing on responsibility. A truly shambolic lack of customer centricity which should be integral to any letting agents operations.
