I'll start with the positive. When things broke they got fixed rapidly but that was more thanks to the landlord having a good set of handyman contacts than anything Russells did. In terms of everything else, I can't agree more than enough with the other reviews with how terrible Russells are. They charge ridiculous amounts for the smallest things and if you dispute anything then prepare to start talking to a brick wall (if you're a tenant at least). Never expect any common sense from their side when dealing with you if something comes up. What was worse though is the cold way in which they treat their tenants and the aloof, impersonal and robotic way that I was checked out of my house in particular. I've been renting 15 years and never came across an estate agent as bad as this.

Make sure you take pictures of absolutely everything in the property or they will try and accuse you of damaging things witch are already broken and scratches on the walls which are already there.

I had the displeasure of being a tenant to this agent for almost 2 years, while the basic service (as long as nothing went wrong) was ok, that being, visits were periodical roughly every 3 months with at least 24 hours notice. When something did go wrong, or we needed to contact the agent, they... Read Full Review
Better correspondence with the tenant, including answering Emails would be nice. Getting things done when they say they will rather than putting it off indefinitely. Not trying to take you for every penny at checkout and keeping records updated. I don\'t think there\'s anything that they could do to reconcile the experience. Avoid.
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.
