They never get back to you with anything I always had to contact them and they made me feel like I was a nusence. They let us live in a house with faulty gas appliances.

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.
