For the service you receive the fees they charge are ridiculous. If anything happened in the property I doubt it would be fixed or paid attention too.

Hello Donna, I am very sorry for any confusion over this viewing, I can see you did have an email exchange with Abbie to try to arrange this viewing, I am unsure as to why this was booked into the diary and all I can do is apologise for any inconvenient caused. I will call you today to discuss this in person as you can see from our other reviews this is very out of character as we always try to deliver the highest levels of customer service. Kind Regards, Jonathan Clegg Managing Di ...
