Over recent years Underwoods have proved excellent agents for my property in Northamptonshire. Diana Drew is always helpful and knowledgeable and understands well the concerns and needs of a landlord, consulting when necessary and advising when asked. I am very happy to leave my property in the care of Underwoods.

Your company had plenty of opportunity to respond to my complaints accordingly whilst I was a tenant. Sadly they failed to do this, hence my poor review. I got the result I wanted in the end, namely getting my full deposit back and no longer having to deal with the substandard level of service your agents provided. I also don't see how you can fairly look into any of, as you call them, my allegations when your company's level of record keeping and ability to pass messages on to the relevan ...

Dear Irate Northamptoner I am sorry if you found my staff condecending and uncaring. It is difficult for me to comment further as I do not know who you are or the circumstances of your general complaint. Our fees are clearly set out in the Tenancy Agreement that you signed in order to commence a tenancy. Therefore, you were in full knowledge of these before you signed the tenancy agreement and they were certainly not changed during your tenancy as you seem to be implying. I am genuinl ...

I am extremely concerned to read this review and am wondering if we are, in fact, the agent you mean to refer to. My reasons for thinking this are set out below. Firstly, we are sorry to hear of your bereavement and extend our condolences. If a tenant has signed a fixed term tenancy it is a legally binding agreement for both parties, the landlord and the tenant. I am sure if a landlord wanted to break a tenancy agreement early a tenant would have much to say on the subject. If a tenant ...
