My Husband and I booked a viewing to see a property in Manchester through Right Move. We arrived at the property and the Agent showed us around the property, where we asked all the questions we needed to regarding the property, which we were so excited and happy about, it was an absolutely fantastic property, and almost too good to be true!!! We were asked to pay a Joint Reference Fee of £280.00 and were informed of all the documents needed to be sent to their offices. That same day we paid over the required fee and as sent all the required documents to Allison&Co. 2 days later after arriving back in London. We informed our Agent that time was of the essence and that we needed to move in within 2 weeks as our current lease would expire by then. We never thought it would be a problem as the advert on RightMove indicated that the property is available immediately. Well....2 weeks came and went, we moved out of our rental property in London and set off on the trains to Manchester. A day after arriving here, we called Allison&Co to check up on our Referencing, only to find out they now required more documents to complete the referencing process which was not conveyed to Us for almost 2 Weeks and that they had only sent off all the information to be referenced after we had already arrived in Manchester ready to move in and expecting their efficiency to be quicker than 2 weeks to require 1 piece of information!!! We are spending £80.00 a night for a hotel for the next 6 days totaling £480.00, and who knows how longer it will take and cost us!!! Their lack of professionalism is pricing us out of the property that their own Agency is trying to Rent US. Clearly this company is not in the correct industry!

This is possibly the most unprofessional response I've seen. Referencing specific details regarding a tenants reference and situation is disgusting. The fact you can't even spell en route correctly is a tell tale sign that you are a mickey mouse company . Deary, Deary me!

Dear tenants,

Thank you for your feedback. We do conduct very comprehensive referencing on behalf of our landlord clients.

What you have failed to include in the review is how you yourself contributed to the delay in processing your application. Firstly you did not supply all the supporting documents we require, then you declared a current employment on your application which omitted the contact details for an employment reference - this subsequently turned out to be * ("this section has been edited as the agent's response was deemed to contravened our terms and conditions ")* Had we known you were not working we would have advised you at the outset that a guarantor would be required however your application form mis-stated your position. Having to obtain a guarantor and then reference that person invariably adds more time to the processing. It is very rare (and unprofessional) for any Letting Agent to confirm a date you can move into a property without fully completing the referencing stage. It is my understanding you had to vacate your London property on a specific date anyway hence why you were already on route to Manchester, so there was always a chance your referencing would not be complete by then but we did our best to accommodate your request given the obstacles.
I am pleased you did move in successfully in the end and hope your tenancy is smooth running hereonin.

This company practically forced us to sell with them. We liked a house they had for sale and they said the vendor would not sell to us unless we sold our property through them. Completely cocked up the sale of our property, lied to us, ...

Thank you for your personal response Allison. We completely agree that delays were of course not your fault. Yet, maybe rather than allow our buyer nearly a year to come up with a mortgage, you could have helped us find a new buyer who was able to afford our property? In regards to the untruths told to us, we discussed our concerns about the outrageous delay with your representative (let's call him M), on a number of occasions. We were told one particular time that a drive by survey" had bee ...

Dear Zenia. We have no tenants of this name. Even if you have used a disguised name we cannot relate to this series of events. I therefore suspect this is a "rogue" review. If you are genuine then we certainly have never received any complaint of this nature however I would be happy to investigate your feedback - please email me at [email protected] ...
