I moved from Birmingham to Hove for work just over a year ago. I had never leased before and Debbie was superb in sorting all the necessary paperwork out etc. She was also really helpful in getting a number of issues with the apartment sorted before I moved in. I have had cause to call on her assistance a few times (including , to my embarrassment, locking myself out of the apartment a few days after I moved in). Any minor works that have had to be done have been organised very quickly and I have always been kept informed. I have recently extended the tenancy on my apartment for another two years, which speaks volumes for the service provided by the Houseen team.

This agency needs to enhance its services, particularly in terms of tenant relations. My experience living in a property managed by Houssen was marred by an incessant stream of legal complications from the beginning to the end of the contract. Improved communication and efficiency are ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Agency fees were astronomically high. Administration fees were astoundingly high, and then we found out they are taking an amount of the admin fees for profit and then charging the admin work to a 3rd party with the remainder of our "admin fee". This third party company delayed the start of our tenancy by several days, so on top of being extortionate, they impeded the entire situation.
