The house we rented was mouldy, dirty, full of previous tenants rubbish, maggots in the carpet, broken doors, broken bannisters, broken blinds, broken cupboards. We couldn't move in for a week and when we did it was still filthy. (We were reimbursed this week's rent which felt helpful at the time but we ended up paying much more than this from our deposits in the end). Electrics went 3 times during our tenancy, we were locked out of the basement where our fuse box was, the mould was never fully sorted. The boiler also had to be fixed multiple times which caused lots of stress. And to top it off... they took way over £1000 out of our deposit for the damage that already existed. We disputed it with lots of dated photographs from before but got pittance back and had to leave it at that.

    I do not recommend this company. Our uni house has had problems with it since we moved in. We had days without hot water when our boiler was leaking due to a crack in a pump (something that should have been noted when the boiler was supposedly serviced over the summer) and we have had a leak under...

    We rented a house in Pangbourne, The Granary, 3 years and left it better than how we received it. Adams were conducting reviews of the house every 6 months, and our maintenance was always outstanding.

    Avoid Adams at all costs. My family and I rented a 2 bedroom flat in Reading for 3 years. We took very good care of the property and left it in a much better state that when we took over the tenancy. For the most part, any maintenance was carried out quickly by their engineers. However virtually no ... Read Full Review

    Be cautious if you're considering renting your next home through this agency. They are inflexible, even when they could be more accommodating. Their main focus is on landlords, not tenants. I had a very bad experience with this agent and ended up paying more than £2000 to sort it... Read Full Review
