Joe Speight in my view is obnoxious, arrogant,rude and patronising. Her staff put the phone down when ur still speaking, don't return calls,dont do what they say they will and whisper infront of you. Matthew ushered us to the door to get rid of us. They are all for the landlord and not the Tennant. We had blocked sinks,heater not working and nails in carpets. These people need retraining and to learn people skills!

    terrible agents. did not respond to many of our issues with the house during our tenancy and then took money from us fraudlently. They asked us to pay for repainting as we had made some holes for hanging pictures which we did.. then i checked a few weeks later with the new tenants and they hadn't... Read Full Review

    As a tenant I was treated with open complacency and snobbery. The only aspect of being a customer I experienced was handing over money including for invented fees. Only interested in representing landlords because they clearly don't have to compete for the unless supply of would be tenants. Dodgy... Read Full Review


    Comments on Agent Fees

    Invented fees presumably used to be charged to landlords who they now charge as little as possible to in order to compete for their business because of the shortage of small houses and flats.

    Clause 2.41 of the tenancy agreement entitled "The Tenant Hereby agrees with Landlord" used by L&S appears to conflict with the instruction in the Deposit Protection Scheme whereby tenants should not be charged by the landlord or their representative for normal wear and tear. 2.41...
