When I first met Platinum Estates I have two rental properties both of which needed work and tenants, as I had two mortgages to pay. I had been let down by my current agent and did not know where to turn, until a friend recommended Platinum Estates. Each property clearly needed work that I could not afford the improvements and I felt that it was a matter of time before the properties were repossessed.
Five years later I had two top quality properties with rent coming in on time nearly every month.
How did this happen? Platinum sat me down explained what I need to do to bring the properties up to a decent standard, arrange a schedule of works, agreed the cost with me, got the work done and found me a tenant all within two weeks. They also let me pay for the work over 12 months to ensure I had enough money to pay for my mortgages.
Platinum Estates are problems solvers. They have professionalism, skill & kindness that got me out of a hole and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They have always been friendly and generous with their time and always focus on my requirements.

This agent is totally useless, I wanted to view a property, I rang them, I was told someone will get back to me, they did not. So I thought I send a email, I did not get any response.

Not lied to us, nor charged us for things that no reputable agent would charge for. Or threatened us with eviction when we objected to those charges. Or basically been unbelievably crap!

We are always disappointed to read comments of this type. As a Letting agent we advise Landlords when maintenance work is necessary, we cannot undertake work without the Landlords authority. This is a complainant about maintenance we had no control over by tenants who compounded the issues by their lifestyle and poor ventilation. We have written over 3000 successful tenancies. We are friendly, skilled, qualified professionals that endeavour to give fair advice to both Landlords and tenants ...

It is always our intention to maintain our managed properties to a high standard however we point out that landlords have to authorise maintenance work and if we do not get authority non-emergency work cannot be done. It can be a fine balance in managing the differing expectations of Tenant and Landlord and we attempt to be fair to all concerned. We will endeavour to deal with all complaints in a timely manner. We are members of ‘The Property Ombudsman’ (TPO) should you feel you ha ...

Agree with the comments on here... Worst agents I have ever dealt with. They consistently lie, don't deal with the most basic (and serious) of maintenance issues, and constantly blame the landlord. Their office staff are rude and objectionable, and as a company they are the worst sort of money-grubbers. We have also been charged for inspections that they clearly didn't carry out, and a refusal to pay the tenancy renewal fee (which is your right!) is met by a threat of eviction. They don't give o ...

Absolutely nothing. They are cowboys. I would have reported then to the Property Ombudsmen had I not moved abroad. I hope you black list them as it is unfair to inflict them on the unsuspecting public. I just hope potential customers read these reviews before committing to the most horrendous "Estate Agents' around. Thank you.

We are understandably disappointed to read such vitriolic abuse. I am uncertain exactly which property this relates to. All I can really say is that the facts speak for themselves, over 10 years and thousands of tenancies we have had only 1 written complaints from a Landlord that was not resolved to the Landlord satisfaction. We are members of ‘The Property Ombudsman’ ‘TPO’ and over 10 years received only 1 formal complaint from a Landlord that was sent to TPO. That an ...

Turning any tenant down is difficult. It is a rare event, though sometimes it is required. The tenant in this case required a guarantor due to the maternity status. The reference failed due to delays in returning the required forms. We do stand by the position that if a parent is not willing be guarantor them we would unlikely accept the tenant. We explained to the tenant her complaint procedure option which she choose not to follow. Though clearly the applicant and our view of events differ, ...
