I always found Harker and Bullman to be very professional during my three years as a tenant. Their initial fees were very reasonable (particularly compared to some other figures agents were quoting) and they took the time to find out the answers to the questions I asked at the viewing. The inventory was very detailed, which made it very clear how I should leave the property at the end. As I had always tried to look after the flat there were only a couple of deposit a deductions and these were more than fair (I had not found time to clean the windows when I left etc.).
Whilst there were a couple of maintenance issues during my tenancy (inevitable) Harker and Bullman were very quick to send a plumber round when I was without hot water. It did take longer to get some guttering fixed but this was because the landlord was dragging his heels and Harker and Bullman needed authorisation to send someone round. Harker and Bullman did keep me posted of the progress however and I could tell they were doing their best to get permission for a contractor to attend.
I forgot to setup a new Standing Order when I moved banks (completely my fault) and Harker and Bullman were very quick to contact me when the rent was late, but they were very polite and found out what the problem was rather than making demands.
I was impressed with the way they fairly managed the property, ensuring both parties fulfilled their duties - so much so that I will be using them to manage a buy to let property I am in the process of purchasing.
All in all an honest dilligent and friendly agency who do things properly and really seem to care.

Hi Ben,
Thank you for the reply.
We agree on a few things, there should be accountability and I did feel very let down.
But until the law changes both you and I know that tennants and landlords have no chance against a company that has no legal responsibilities. No brainer really.
I found out the hard way, I approached ARLA and they said the logo only means you are part of a professional organisation, they have no power or ability over you. Bit like me putting a GB sticker on my car ...

Hello Nugget!
We are not sure who you are but are very grateful for the kind words and very happy to be of service. It's also good to hear that you felt our fees were lower that some other agents.
It sounds as if you may have just rented through us- if so we wish you a very Merry Christmas in your new home!
All the best
