Been using EPS for about a year. Fast actions on any of the issues we raised. Good communication through the whole application process. I really am happy with how we was treated at EPS compared to all the bigger letting agents in Cambridge.

We had an absolutely awful experience renting through EPS from start to finish. Every request WAS too much trouble. Hasan who was the letting agent we dealt with was an absolute cowboy and bully. He was persistently threatening throughout our tenancy with no respect for renters, and treating us as ... Read Full Review

Carelessness and incompetence personified We have been renting a flat with ESRA turned EPS properties for 3 years (29 Cockcroft place) and we have had such a bad experience with this agency that it's even difficult to find words to describe. For a start they did zero maintenance on ... Read Full Review

As tenants who rented out a property from ESRA, they were very unprofessional. They did not seem to know what they were doing and they came across generally rude. They claimed to send renewal emails that never arrived and threatened to arrange for us to check-out as we had not replied. Their ... Read Full Review
The agent took a ridiculously high deposit that 3x more than other agents!

Excellent feedback 6. We have had some good feedback from our tenants how appreciative they have been with ... Read Full Review

I rented a flat with ESRA for 6 years and I had to say a couple of things: 1) I was really impressed by how quickly and generously was my deposit returned by the end of tenancy (basically nothing was deducted from it!) 2) The agency was very flexible with the exact time of the day, when the key was ...

The fees were reasonable for the property for a while (it was a very old flat), however they started to increase every year quite significantly for the last few years. The last renewal letter offer was £725 pcm (quite a jump from £690 pcm).

We have 3 flats managed by ESRA. I cannot think of- a better service than what they have been providing for years! They are incredibly good at: looking after the flats, looking after the tenants, looking after our interests. In fact they have been the reason why we invested our savings in buy to ...

* Do not use. Broke into flat mistakenly thinking there was a leak then forced me to pay locksmith bill, and plumber call out. even though there was no leak. Got solicitor but lost. Then, forced me to move out with a months notice for 'decorating' then re let flat to someone else. On checkout ... Read Full Review

Worst service ever...

ESRA are inept and dishonest. They refused to fix a recurring problem with the property caused by poor maintenance until forced to by the city council. At the end of the tenancy they tried refusing to return the deposit, listing costs so high they would be laughable if they weren't so ... Read Full Review

These agents absolutely destroyed my trust when renting. They lied constantly and didn't seem to care about any issues once I moved into the property. I went for 8 months with no keys to the windows (moved in May) and could not open any of them until the following year. I continually asked as this ... Read Full Review

As a landlord, I would not recommend ESRA as an agent for my property again. They promised to take care of it and manage it well, but they certainly did not keep their promise. They do not seem to inspect the property once it was let., any damage that occurs can get worse, as we had had to endure. ... Read Full Review
Had the agent inspected the property and took action to remedy any obvious damage before it becomes worse; water leakage down a wall was left unattended for a long time causing serious damage to the wall. The garden was spoilt and the agent refused to deal with the damage.
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.
