Had a nightmare experience with Cavender. They promised repairs, professional cleaning and removal of furniture prior to my moving in. The landlord and I both signed the contract and I paid my deposit and first month's rent. I visited the property two days before the move-in date and nothing was done. The house was dirty, filled with stuff, cracked walls, mould, and stains everywhere. Cavender ignored my calls, blamed the landlord, and refused to take responsibility. They were patronising and completely unprofessional. Eventually, I sent a very reasonable email to both Isla and Charlie, and the landlord, who proceeded to threaten me with calling the police and cancelling my tenancy due to me "breaching my contract". Cavender refunded my money but refused to offer any other help. I am currently homeless due to their complete and utter negligence.

Whenever we had issues in the house, we would contact them again and no one would come to fix it. In the end, we were blamed for things that already have been in ... 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.
