Worst agency I've ever had to deal with. They try to appear professional in their emails but face-to-face they really aren't. We had some terrible mould issues that lasted for months to the point that a whole wall was eventually covered in black mould and they didn't care and put the blame on the freeholder. It seemed to us like they were always trying to find excuses and never called us back. Then our ceiling collapsed and we spent a month without a ceiling! Again, they didn't seem to care at all, we didn't get any compensation and spent hours every week emailing them and calling without results. However, when they needed something from us (guarantor forms, etc.), it had to be done within days otherwise they would threaten to put the property back on the market. That happened while we were abroad in the middle of nowhere on holiday and they put us in an extremely stressful situation, as if the contract renewal could not wait two days. We're now dealing with a really nice and professional smaller agency and what a difference!

Beware of this company, they need constant chasing to get anything done. We rented from Barrie Alderton for 6 months and it was awful. -The first mistake was that the written contact said 12 months when we had verbally agreed to 6. -the house wasn't clean when we moved in, the bathroom was ...

This is the worst agency I have ever had to deal with. Properties are full of damp, mould and dangerous.

I have never spoken to someone so rude as co-manager Geraldine Alderton. The landlord declined our application for house, which is fair, it is after all their discretion. However the manner in which I was spoken to was beyond rude. I asked for a reason as why it failed so that we knew what ... Read Full Review

We rented a house with this agency and it was pretty bad. They took ages to answer emails and we always talked with different persons. When we finished out tenancy it took them 2 weeks before they gave us our deposit back because they could not reach the landlord. This is ... Read Full Review
We payed 300 pound fees to get the house and after 6 months they have put the house for sale and we had to leave. Obviously we never saw our 300 pounds back....

For months, Barrie Alderton was fine. We had unknowingly rented a property with neighbours from hell, but that wasn't their fault. When it came time to move, however, the level of grief and spite that suddenly appeared was completely necessary and unprofessional - after all, while they might have ... Read Full Review
Following the necessary procedure to move out is fine. Being treated with spite, having the referencing people phoning us upset and being deliberately difficult should be left in the playground.

When being shown around the property our group and the group that came before us were promised that the kitchen would be refurbished (no handles on units, peeling wallpaper, doors hanging off of their hinges). We later expressed interest in this property and also asked that the carpets could be ... Read Full Review

We took the property on the proviso a new kitchen would be put in, as Barrie advised us it would be, incorrectly, it would appear, as we lived their for a year and half and the kitchen never came. It was supposed to be unfurnished there were too sofas in the property we needed removed and a few ... Read Full Review
