I used Saxons for my first ever experience into the housing market and I was warned that buying or renting a home would be one of the most stressful experiences I would face, the agent only adding to the pain! However, the staff at Saxons from the bottom to the top were on hand to help me with the smallest of queries quickly and provided good advice all the way through, the whole process was actually quite painless. I felt they had my best interests at heart and I felt that I got a good deal, they also know the local area well. I highly recommend Saxons and when I want to rent again I will only be visiting one Estate Agent on the High Street.

What agent could do to change your mind?
As a director of a company, you have absolute control over everything that goes on. When it was very clear that we should have been refunded our fees, Daniel said that he needed to speak to Georgina first. No he didn't, what he could do would be to refund me the fees that weren't lost due to any fault of my own and deal with the problems at hand instead of waiting around.

Altogether we paid 576 pounds! That's ridiculous to start off, but every other company (even smaller ones) charge much less than this, and they didn't help us whatsoever throughout the process, except when they purposefully made things difficult for us!

We paid 950 off our deposit a month before, and seeing as we are no longer moving in, we need to show them our receipt to even get it back! Apparently, our references failed but it was actually false information from Georgina herself. THEN whilst our application was still going through, they reuploaded our flat to Rightmove and started referencing f ...
