I used AceRelocations in an attempt to find something semi-permanent/permanent having just got a job in Wimbledon. I went to a few viewings two which the agent (*) only made it to half of the viewing, I was shown round by the existing tenants, which in itself is very unprofessional. AceRelocations were able to offer me a short one month tenancy in a lovely property with reduced rent as a last resort due to the fact that I was now to become homeless. The tenants already living in the property were a group of Hungarians who were very unkind and unwelcoming towards me, but that is not the fault of AceReloctions at all. As the end of the month approached and I was again in desperate need of somewhere to stay for the coming weeks I began to panic as Jenna had not been in contact with any more options for me Now having paid AceRelocations their fee of £200 I expected them to find me something with my requirements to at least take a look at. I went to a viewing that I had organised, again without Jenna actually in attendance, unfortunately it didn't suit my requirements and the only other property I was offered was a room that was currently being used for storage, I was unable to view the property due to work commitments and Jenna wasn't able to send me a picture of the room because it was 'too small'. Frustrated with the service I had received I decided to take the matter into my own hands and continue my search without the 'help' of AceRelocations. This now meant I had nowhere to live. At this stage I was told that my deposit would be refunded within 10 days of me leaving the property, I left on the 30 November. Two week later It had still not arrived and so I had multiple phone calls with Tony, Vicky and Greg who were all exceedingly unhelpful and were never able to tell me anything new with regards to what was happening with my deposit as Tom was always out 'of the office' or 'in a meeting', I voiced my frustrations and on several occasions these employees actually laughed at me over the phone. I later learned there was some kind of dispute of the 'clean down process' after all the tenants had moved out between the landlord I then went into the offices in Putney to try and resolve this issue, Tom agreed to refund me half of my deposit there and then, which I appreciated, but they still had possession of my money. I was then told that the issue was to be resolved before Christmas (23rd December). I returned to work after my Christmas break and nothing had been resolved at all, I then wasn't able to reach Tom until the middle of January. I had been told that the deposit had been received back from the landlord and they were holding it to work out what reductions needed to be made to my deposit due to maintenance to the property. I had not been notified of any of this at all, not once did AceRelocations call me after my tenancy was finished, had I not pursued them, this issue would still not be resolved. I then spent the next two weeks calling and emailing to try and get the agency to take me seriously, I cannot begin to explain how unhelpful and infuriating Vicky has been, taking every opportunity to condescend and belittle me. I learned that my deposit should have been held in a third party protection scheme and that AceRelocations had been breaking the law by not doing this. I then brought this up both phone conversations and via email, expressing my dissatisfaction and over 8 weeks after I moved out of the property they finally agreed to refund the full amount of my deposit. This was only after I had asked to see the invoice, proof of damage done to the property and made it clear to Tom that I was prepared to take this issue to court. This was my very first rental after moving out of my parents' home and went into this situation with a great deal of naivety I will admit. But the sheer rudeness and willingness of this estate agent to seemingly lie, cheat and steal from me was astounding! Never have I experienced such unprofessional people and I would not wish my worst enemy to have to deal with these people. Not once was I taken seriously or dealt with in a professional way. Ignorant, rude, condescending, unprofessional, cheating, **, the entire business and its staff are a joke and an utter, utter disgrace. I cannot express the extent of my dissatisfaction without the use of profanity. DO NOT USE THIS AGENCY

18 Feb 2017Thanks for the review Alex but it is mostly all untrue. We had to ask you to leave because of your * standards. ** so we had no choice but part ways with you. In terms of your deposit, it was held legally in accordance with the law so please get your facts right before to throw around libelous commentary such as this, thank you.
By : Alex
3 Mar 2017What an absurd response. At no point did you ask me to leave. I was on a short one month contract. Perhaps if you were a little less vague I could be more specific in correcting you and explaining exactly what happened. In terms of the deposit; as I explained, I was not made aware of any third party deposit protection scheme in which my money was being held, which is why the process took so long and the dispute took months to be resolved. I should have been given access to request my money be returned to me having vacated the property. And the fact you attempted to charge me for nondescript and unspecific 'maintenance' is completely ridiculous! The fact of the matter is, Ace Relocations provided an incredibly poor service to me, and the fact you have not addressed any of the other points I made in my initial review in your response highlights this.

18 Jan 2019Had a viewing arranged today. The "agent" was clueless, unprofessional and couldn't wait to get to the next client. Decided not to rent from these cowboys.

Avoid this company by any means possible! If you want to be a landlord that doesn't get paid, or a renter who gets spoken to like a piece of dirt then by all means go with Ace Relocations.

I am yet another landlord, who is owed a lot of money by Ace Relocations Ltd. Their business approach of taking rent from tenants and not paying landlords is unethical, dishonest and in breach of contract law. Their behaviour, contempt and attitude are also appalling. Landlords should not go into ... Read Full Review

I had worst experience in being a tenant with this agency. Contract Issue: In September 2020, I had signed a contract and moved in on Saturday.

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.
