Horrendous experience. Unfortunately we are tied in for a year. My advice if ask for ALL the fees in writing. All the little add ons . They even want to force you to pay a monthly indemnity insurance premium to cover their incompetence ! As soon as our year is up we are removing our property which unfortunately means the tenants will need to find another property such is the level of our anger. Dont even get me started on the latest scam - Romans No Deposit Option

So disappointing. Massively over valued our property to attract us, signed us up for an excessively long contract without being clear, we were unable to get out of it. Showed people round our house who wanted a project (it's a new build in immaculate condition). ...
