I had problems with my Landlady stealing my utilities in her downstairs business. Udens would not only help me investigate it they actually told me they couldn't deal with me anymore. They have completely left me to sort out a complete mess in which I have lost money through no fault of my own. They never informed me that all the meters were shared and although they kept saying it would be sorted out they have done nothing. I am currently preparing to take them and my land lady to court.

We would just like to add that we had no knowledge about this issue to begin with. It turned out to be true, the landlady had a tap in her shop that was attached the boiler upstairs! this is obviously wrong and when we found out it was dealt with it immediately because this was unfair to the tenant.

The main reason it took so long to be resolved was because the tenant would not agree on a figure of compensation. We got the gas company out so as to be completely fair to this tenant as she had actually been wronged, but she still didn’t agree with the compensation figure.

In the end we literally had to say “what is it that you want” and even though her demand was grossly disproportionate to the use of a tap down stairs we got this amount refunded to her.

I think the review above is rather harsh considering the circumstances.

DEPLORABLE is the best word for Uden's - a very small company who treat Tenants as a bother. NO Out-of-Hours protection for boiler breakdown or any other emergency -- I was told flatly, "Having NO heat is NOT an emergency" in both winters of 21-22 ...

Thank you for your comments. The office hours are between 9am-5pm Mon-Fri. We have an out of hours mobile number with one of our staff and this operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We also have emergency contact numbers for gas and emergency services on our answer phone. We do not have a tenant with the name of Scintilla so I cannot respond to this review directly. ...
