The worst experience to rent a house that I had in my life. We applied for a house that was published, we sent all the information, we signed a 2-year contract and the owner signed, after receiving the contract signed by both parties, and with 3 days left to move (we are a family of 4, with two children 2 and 3 years old), with the whole house already packed, they called 3 days before to tell us that the references had failed... we already had the contract signed! the "solutions" they offered were crazy: that we pay for a year in advance (£33,000), or that they make us a 6 month contract, let's pay those 6 months in advance and then pay again 6 months in advance. Added to all that, they kept £600 of the deposit.

    The letting service provided to me as a landlord has been truly appalling. Despite CHK Mountford forcing me to take my complaint all the way to 'The Property Ombudsman' (TPO) who initially advised that "any award is unlikely to exceed £300", when they had examined ... Read Full Review

    I am so upset and angry with this agency and how they have dealt with our deposit and moving out of our flat. We have waited longer than 10 days for our deposit to come back to us. Even with a global pandemic, there was no sympathy to our situation, they are trying so hard for our deposit to not... Read Full Review

    Would rate them 0 if the number was on the scale. It's been 3 weeks and our broken dishwasher has not been replaced. The explanation we get is they have not been able to get a quote from their supplier/engineer. Now our washing machine is broken too and no progress have been made after 19... Read Full Review

    I have rented from many different estate agents and always had good experiences, until I came across CHK Mountford. This is a company that just do not care about the tenant once they have your signature on the contract and your money in the bank. Rude, neglectful and will mess you around. They have ...
