When I moved into my flat it was absolutely putrid. Certain parts of it hadn't seemed to be cleaned in years! For example- the air vent in the kitchen was actually sealed over with a thick brown tar which was even running down the pull cord and dripping onto the kitchen work surface! The kitchen floor was caked in mouse droppings, dead insects, and bits of food, dust, slimy cutlery etc. That's just 2 of the 100 examples of filth.
Throughout my tenancy they were very slow and reluctant to carry out very necessary repairs- i.e. the kitchen floor caving in etc.
Initially the property had a faulty outdated boiler and a gas engineer actually told me that he hadn't seen one like that in decades! I quickly started to suffer from symptoms of low exposure carbon monoxide poisoning- and sure enough my CO alarm indicated low levels of CO! Instead of immediately sending out a gas safety engineer as they should have- they instead insisted that the alarm was faulty and simply replaced it. The new alarm also went off. And to my absolute shock Allied Homes did the same thing again, just insisted the new alarm was faulty and gave me a 3rd alarm!!! (which went off again). If I had the time and energy I would pursue legal action for this dangerous level of neglect. I had to argue with them for many months before they finally replaced the boiler.
When I vacated the property it was thoroughly cleaned (despite being given to me filthy), and the property has been vastly improved by my insistence on them carrying out various repairs. What thanks did I get for it? They tried to take deposit money from me, making up a list of "damages", actually going so far as to tell me I had "defaced" the property. Thankfully I am used to dealing with con artist landlords and so I had photographic evidence that disproved all of their lies. I got my deposit back in the end despite their best efforts to steal from me. Please avoid Allied Homes. It's not worth the major stress!

At the end of my lease, Susan attempted to force me to pay an additional fee instead of returning, to me, the amount of my deposit that I was due.
She attempted this by sending me a long, demeaning email, including a theatrical description of ...

This young woman was presented with a flat that was newly decorated and when she left she did not clean it and left food etc in the cupboards and personal items and a mattress for someone else to clean/remove.Moreover there were stains on the walls too.The oven was very dirty and the windows had not been cleaned .We negotiated all of this with her and she took ages replying to our messages in general and nearly 6 month after resolving this and her having left the flat she has somehow decided to ...

Hi everyone,
If you'd like to read a genuine review from a previous tenant please read my 1 star review below. Please note that Lesley has supposedly been working with them as a Landlord so I would invite all prospective tenants to read my review. This review just comes across as damage control to be honest. The reviewer, Lesley, has even commented on my review- stating that she felt forced to leave a positive review in response to my negative review. If Allied Homes really are so wildly amazi ...

Hi All, this is my response to the comment from Lesley;
Hi Lesley,
Thank you for posting your extremely suspicious response. The fact that you seem personally attacked and extremely emotional over the fact that I have left Allied Homes/ Susan a terrible review strongly implies that you have close personal ties with the aforementioned. I find it hard to believe that you are nothing more than a satisfied client of theirs. If I saw a bad review of a company that I had received good service from, ...
