For a long time I was unsure whether they were incompetent or mendacious. I now think it is the latter. They broke promises regarding refurbishment, changed the move in date without notifying us, insist work has been done which hasn't, have been slow to communicate throughout, gave us keys that don't work and, once we had finally signed contracts, mocked us for complaining the work was unfinished.
