I should state at the start that as well as renting houses for the last 7 years I am also a landlord.

I could write an entire essay and back it up with pictures but all I can say is that our experience with this company was just terrible. They lied, they did nothing and they ended up taking deposit money off us and I have since found out that they know the cause of damage was natural as I had explained but still took our money anyway

If you rent off them be prepared to hear the phrase "too busy" - a lot. Do NOT trust anything that they say and get anything that is agreed in writing.

If you have them managing your property be careful. They were managing our property and the quarterly visits never happened, their so called main contractor is some "bodge it and scarper" odd job man. So if you are a landlord watch them like a hawk

The owner may have a quasi aristocratic name and sound very pucker - but the reality is that he is a bit of a rip off man masquerading as a gentleman.

To date we have yet to hear anyone say a good thing about them in the local area

Rather expensive for little return - the Agent is only on the side of the Landlord NOT the tenant. No support whatsoever for the tenant
