Agency takes weeks to fix issues, leaving us for 3 weeks without a working front door which was a fire Hazzard, and over 7 weeks without access to our garage where we had food in our freezer. This also delayed our ability to move property. Staff seem ...

CM Rent are the worst letting agent we have EVER experienced. They conned us into moving into a very poorly maintained house, and refused to do any repairs for months-even ones that broke health and safety laws. They also did not tell us that the ...

There is no way I would ever use this company again, and I am surprised they have not been shut down by now.

Blaming tenants for mould in properties is ludicrous. Mould is caused by inherent problems in walls or bad ventilation, or poorly built buildings and mould is a health hazard that should be reported asap and reduced rent can be paid until the problem is sorted out. It seems pretty clear that CM Rent spend more time trying to deflect their bad reviews on this site, than dealing with maintaining their rental properties and offering their tenants a good service. Very poor. ...

Out of 630+ managed properties, we do not have any current Tenants called 'Alison' with the problems that you have described above. If you have another name and have a real complaint, then please email the office that you rented through, ie. [email protected]. We can then deal with this through our recognised complaints procedure as stipulated by being an ARLA & TPO member. Thank you. For real Tenants reviews of our services, please see http://www.cmrentandsales.co.uk/about-us/t ...

Hi Zoe, after reading through all the correspondence between you and Paul, my findings are that you have already agreed to the £75 deposit deductions with Paul Buck (reduced from the original £90 proposed by the landlord). You were offered the DPS dispute resolution process by Paul at the time, but you chose not to go down this route and agreed the £75 deductions. Sorry that you're now not happy after agreeing to this. I'm afraid cmRENT & SALES can't personally refund this amount to you as a ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Trust in the reviews you see online as we did not and we are paying for it now by living in a house where we will have to fight to get even the most basic repairs carried out. This agent have pretty much done everything wrong and in an extremely unprofessional manner despite us being good tenants, so they would have to be a different company all together to help us 'change our mind'

Hi Mary, please let me know your surname, the property you were renting and I will look into this. We take our instructions from the landlord and cannot carry out any maintenance without their authorisation. Some repairs the landlord is legally required to do, others they are not. If they refuse to carry out non-emergency repairs then there is little we can do. But if the property is dangerous or unsafe, we would not re-let it. We do not make the decisions on property repairs, we act as an agent ...

Hi Michael, I do not work for allagents. I was reading the comments with interest and agree with Zoe, the only seemingly real review to you is a positive one. How fortunate for you. Why not take the blinkers off, realise you have faults and failings and address the criticisms you have received. Why not improve your agency instead of providing excuses all the time. ...

We do not have anyone in any of our offices called Louise, so this is a completely made up story by an ex-employee (or friend of) and should not be trusted. Dizzy are's comment underneath is Tina Rogers, who is an ex-employee who tried and failed to set up her own business after leaving our employment. The whole thing is a fabrication intended to discredit us and I would suggest anyone wanting to know the true service provided by cmRENT should read our frequently received testimonials at www.cmr ...

Mr Saville, you can not say a review is real just because it is praising you and say another review is from an agent because it is not complimentary. If this website is so dreadful, why do you continue to comment on it! I definitely will not be using your agency if all the staff are like you. ...

It appears to us that this is not a valid customer complaint but perhaps a rival agent trying to disrespect us. If you have a valid complaint, please explain your problems, specify your name and which property it relates to and we will be able to respond accordingly. Should this be a really serious issue, we are voluntary members of The Property Ombudsman and Licenced & Qualified members of ARLA who both have a process for serious complaints ...
