We dealt with Tashan, who was absolutely fantastic. He was courteous and helpful on the phone, taking the time to answer my questions about the area before we'd even booked a viewing. When we met him in person at the viewing, he was very friendly, showing us around the property and pointing out its best features without the hard sell, which was very refreshing (and a successful approach!). The landlady was also there, and they clearly had an excellent relationship. Again, Tashan was very courteous, allowing her to show us around but offering input whenever required.

When we came to negotiating our offer, Tashan was very on the ball and didn't keep us hanging around. It felt like he was working for both us and the landlady, which was fantastic. We trusted him to negotiate for us without squeezing the very last drops from our budget (though he very clearly stated the landlady's case to us and successfully convinced us to increase our offer on several fronts), and indeed we were very happy with the result. Tashan came across as very genuine; had this not been the case, I don't think we would have increased our offer to the extent we did.

We'd certainly recommend Xander Matthew and particularly Tashan to anyone who was looking for a property in the area - I haven't come across such a personable agent before, which was really refreshing in the competitive London market.

It is to our regret that we had to resort to further action to collect monies owed to the company. The contract signed stipulated all the fees that needed to be paid and this particular customer failed to do so. The only bad press we receive is from people that want to use our services and subsequently not pay us for the work we've done. I trust readers will agree that no business will work for free. ...

Dear Lucia, Sadly you had not declared your living situation accurately and it transpired that you could not substantiate the earnings required to rent the house. Over a long period of time (14 days) you were unable to prove adequately that you had enough earnings to support the rental of the house, which was contrary to what you led us to believe when you first applied for the property. You had initially told us persons A and B were moving in to the flat, then it was persons A and C, alon ...

Dear "Stuart," Sorry to hear you had reason to complain. After having investigated the complaint it transpires that the landlord exercised the break clause in line with your tenancy agreement. This is allowed, just as you were allowed to give notice to vacate. Reason for this was that you were given a discounted rent given the time of year that you moved in and the landlord felt that they could relet the property at a higher rent when the break clause came around. You were indeed offered to r ...
