I have been most impressed with Lauriston's and in particular Darren Baker's team. At the outset I was provided with some astute advice about the purchase of the property followed by patience and pragmatism during the conveyance stage. I would have no hesitation in recommending the agency to others. Thank you for a job well done.

Bad. I would rather donate all the money I paid them to charity and not to them. They didn't do their jobs and just keep lying I have spent hundreds of hours to ask them to remove landlord's personal stuff and dangerous furniture that could severely harm my 1 year old baby.

I am sorry to hear of your disappointment with our service. I apologise if regular maintenance and more urgent property defects were not rectified in line with your expectations. The property management team should respond and rectify these types of issues promptly, however in some instances they may be waiting on the landlords confirmation that they are in agreement with the works and costs involved.

I have to say that a response was not needed nor was it expected. However this response is laughable and shows a true lack of professionalism. Not only does this response insinuate that my review is not factual, it also does not offer any form of compassion or understanding. The reason Mr Budd why I did not bring this up on the telephone is that I did not wish to listen to you tell me what to do any further and arguing with you would of only prolonged the conversation.

Thank you for a review, I encourage you to get in touch with me directly on [email protected] so I can address your concerns directly. A few points on the above, if the landlady has choosen to not carry out an inventory then it would be harsh to claim Lauristons to be at fault as a result. We do safety checks and ask security questions when giving out keys, so you may not be aware that these were asked in some ways, but I agree requesting an ID at all times would be preferable where ...
