These guys really knew their stuff Ross was friendly and knowledgable, he got the property sold within 3 weeks 10k over our expectations. Susie was always on the ball and keen to assist with anything she could. I can't recommend the whole team enough, they went over and above to get the job done. Thanks guys !

Comment on agent fees
I have not rented with any other agent before so perhaps it is common place but Taylor Made will sting you every step of the way in terms of fees. You can only sign a 6 month contract when you move in, as I was there for the year I had to pay almost £200 after the 6 months was up to renew the contract.

What agent could do to change your mind?
The Agents should ensure that properties are cleaned professionally prior to a new tenancy starting if the previous tenants did not clean. Return phone calls and ensure that problems reported to them are dealt with and keep all parties informed.

Have a better approach to customer service- this has been the worst incident I've experienced with them, although there have been four or five times when I've contacted them about something legitimate which needs doing from a safety or maintenance perspective, and they have hurried me off the phone, making me feel like a pest, 'and have not followed my requests ip without a lot of further contact on my part.

What agent could do to change your mind?
DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. I know estate agents are generally regarded as assholes but these people are without souls. They could have got the date that I could move in right, (not 3 days later) They could have had the keys ready at 9am instead of 12 noon, I had told them I had taken the morning off to move in. They could have just done their job they could have replied to my e-mails or calls regarding a groundfloor window that wouldn't lock shut, hot water that rarely worked, the provided 'bed' that was essentially 1inch thick pieces of infested sponge covering a damaged spring frame. (eventually changed after I quoted fire regulations to them). They will try to bully you. read up on your rights. Also try to find anywhere an e-mail or phone number where you can complain to somebody more senior, I don't think its an option
