I rented a property from Hitchen & Co in Hunslet for 6 months from September to February 2017.
I found them to be very responsive and easy to deal with.
The initial sign up and move in went smoothly and queries and questions were answered promptly.
The end ...

Fees for everything. Check the small print in the contract. They didn't want to send me mine in advance and expected me to sign it when I went to pick the keys up. Erm... No
