[[EDIT ORIGINAL START]] This lot are awful. They don't know the law. Alex who works there mixed up his VAT with his Interest rates, among other daft comments he made. They don't listen to what the customer wants. To cap it all off they were rude, and up to press, are still in possession ... Read Full Review

I've read through the reviews and am amazed by the number of people that Shane and BPS have conned out of money.

I used this letting agency in 1998/9 where I rented 2 properties with them. At this time the service was fantastic, the manager, can't remember his name but a short chap with red hair was excellent, very friendly and helpful. When he left in 1999/2000 I think, can't be certain of the ... Read Full Review

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
Please call to discuss, if the matter can not be resolved we are members of OEA
