Our house which we are letting with Walton Robinson and which they are being paid to maintain smells strongly of damp. The roof in the utility room leaks and this issue was reported several months ago in June. The leaking roof has led to mould and damp in both the utility and kitchen. We have been endlessly chasing Walton Robinson for months now to sort out these issues but the issues remain the same.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Respond to emails promptly Not make false promises that were not withheld Fixed the issue that we had with the property promptly

Please accept our sincerest apologies with regards to the time taken to resolve the issues with your property. The repair work to the ajoining house, which is not managed by ourselves took far longer than we would have liked which resulted in the delay to the work starting at the property. The issue was casued by the ajoining offshots roof tiles over hanging directly onto our property. The repair work to your property has now been completed with just the decoration to conlucde, which has been booked in to complete on Monday.

The property is in good order and there are no damp issues effecting the property following inspections by a damp specialist.

Please do not hesitate to contact our maintenance team or Property supervisor at the following address [email protected] or at the contact details you already use.

Kind regards

Walton Robinson

Your reply is not true. This is exactly what hapened to us.Firstly, could only get 4 keys upon tenancy starting. Finally got the other 2 after threatening to withhold 2 lots of rent! Banister broken when we moved in, which was a Health & Safety breech, as was the painting of the sash windows closed! Cleaning fee for the whole house when we & parents cleaned it top to bottom spotlessly. Dust found behind a radiator (OMG) Then charged for a whole house clean.

Hi Amy, We are sorry to see that you have been dissatisfied with our service. Unfortunately if properties are not returned as they were handed over then it can take some time for deposits to be returned to tenants. We have to arrange for works, await invoices and liaise with landlords before we are able to release any amounts. We do apologise if there has been delays in correspondence. The summer is an exceptionally busy time for us. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please c ...
