The worst experience! We are without hot water for last two months without any solution and compensation. Also our washing machine doesn't work and even before we moved in August it was recommended to replace this machine however nothing is happening. Everything seems to be a problem and when you call in the office you are told on the phone everything is going be solved and somebody will contact you but nothing like is happening. Please avoid this letting agent for your own good.

HI Katie
We cannot force entry into a house the tenants refuse access to. We are in a pandemic and therefore if a group of tenants say we cannot enter, we cannot. We apologised at the time, however you were provided with a video of the property. You are blaming us for something out of our control.
We have members of staff working from home, again due to the pandemic. So yes on occasion messages may cross over,.
Also to be clear it is a holding fee you will not be refunded as we are able to k ...
