We had an absolutely awful experience renting through EPS from start to finish. Every request WAS too much trouble. Hasan who was the letting agent we dealt with was an absolute cowboy and bully.

I rented a flat with ESRA for 6 years and I had to say a couple of things: 1) I was really impressed by how quickly and generously was my deposit returned by the end of tenancy (basically nothing was deducted from it!) 2) The agency was very flexible with the exact time of the day, when the key was ...

What agent could do to change your mind?

The fees were reasonable for the property for a while (it was a very old flat), however they started to increase every year quite significantly for the last few years. The last renewal letter offer was £725 pcm (quite a jump from £690 pcm).

As a landlord, I would not recommend ESRA as an agent for my property again. They promised to take care of it and manage it well, but they certainly did not keep their promise. They do not seem to inspect the property once it was let., any damage that occurs can get worse, as we had had to endure. ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

Had the agent inspected the property and took action to remedy any obvious damage before it becomes worse; water leakage down a wall was left unattended for a long time causing serious damage to the wall. The garden was spoilt and the agent refused to deal with the damage.
