They arranged viewings that they didnt bother turning up to waited for over an hour when i contacted them no apologie.
Was told no one else had viewed property and then told it was gone which to this day is still up for let .
Was shouted at down the phone by the manager john hes a very rude man and i dont understand how hes the manager of anything. Frank innes biggest sham do yourself a favour and stay very far away

Very similar experience. Initially asked FI to sell my property and they were hopeless, no viewings in a month. Got someone else in and immediate viewings. Then decided to rent with a small company called NEST. Personal service from their main guy Matt. All went well until about 2014 when he told me the 'good news' - FI had bought him out. I was perturbed and told him I hope they're not as bad at lets as they are at sales. They're even worse. They don't care a hoot for the tenant or the prope ...

Comment on agent fees
Fees taken for contract that was never written up. Left me with a rolling month contract that tenants took advantage of and left. Left me with empty property and no communication.

What agent could do to change your mind?
- process applications in time for tenants to move in. - Maintain any form of contact with customers. - Create better organisational structures to reduce the possibility of lost paperwork. - Implement a better computer system as "the E-mail server is down"/ "We;re undergoing IT maintenance" excuses get old, fast. - Have cases handled by a single employee from start to finish, to avoid miscommunications between staff members. Learn how to call customers, instead of repeated saying "We'll give you a call", but never actually picking up the phone.

As soon as the property came up I rang but my call was not returned so I called again, "someone" will call me back. Wrong - each time (three before actually speaking to someone who felt able to take a booking enquiry). I then made an appointment to view and when I rang to confirm the appointment I had made they had no record...so I made another appointment even though I was dubious about the appalling service. It's a good job I rang to confirm the appointment the day before driving 60 miles to view the propoerty since it had been let days before. I cannot believe the total and absolute incompetence. I have sold and am looking for a property in a different county, not to be the butt of the branches jokes. It would be nice if these pople had some consideration. I will be looking to buy shortly and will avoid any Frank Innes and subsidiaries like the plague.

If they want to be difficult - dont allow them access for viewings. They can't force you allow viewings as legally, you have the right of quiet enjoyment and contract overrides contract - so it doesnt matter what it says in the tenancy agreement - if they ignore your rights, they will be in breach of the Protection from Eviction Act - which is a criminal offence. Remember, NO ONE can enter your home without your EXPRESS consent. Just a thought. ...
