I rented a house and had soo many problems. Spencers were not interested as long as they got the rent. Which I stupidly paid in advance. There was a fridge on the drive which I was told would be removed the following Monday after moving in, the same fridge was still there 12 months later when I moved out, despite numerous complaints and requests for it to be removed. The rear fence adjoining neighbours yard was damaged a big section of which had collapsed and left a 6ft side gap unrepaired for months despite me going through correct maintenance reporting procedures. And also various other things like a gas hob not working again not being fixed in spite of correct maintenance processes being used. Also rented house with gas fire only for it to capped 3months into 12mth tenancy. This is just the tip of the iceberg so to speak I had far to many problems to go into here. Going back to the fridge on the drive, this rendered the drive unusable for the whole tenancy, at one stage I moved the fridge to the side of the drive and parked car on drive for a few days then one windy day the fridge was blown into my car causing considerable denting and scratches. Really not impressed especially when told by Lauri when moving out that 'I wouldn't be charged for removal of fridge on drive'. I've been renting for many years and this is by far the worst experience I've ever had. Be very wary and careful when dealing with Spencers because they're only interested in taking your money and nothing else.
Real bad considering they did nothing to help me I don\'t know what they were talking my money for because as an agent they were useless.

Beware Spencers have a lot of hidden costs. Make sure you read the contract especially with regards to exiting the property. For example, you could be charged 30 pounds for not cancelling your direct debit, or 30 pounds for not being there on the day you leave the property. The most shameful... Read Full Review
The agency comes across, unfortunately, as money grabbing opportunists. They must be making a fortune charging tenants! They should drop these disproportionate charges as customers will not come back to use them again.
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.
