I had the pleasure of spending a year living in this mouldy flat which caused me and my husband breathing problems. Despite all the mould, we continued cleaning and managing the situation as we were made aware of the fact that there’s not much that can be done to resolve this. Due to the mould, a large number of our clothes got ruined and as a result the landlord had to install wall insulation and a wardrobe. Regardless, due to the structural set up of the flat, the mould could not be avoided and it came back. The agent and landlord pressured and bullied us into trying to accept or admit that the mould was purely due to our ventilation habits despite the fact that the above two flats had the same issue and our bathroom windows were open 247 but the bathroom still had mould, hence indicating a structural issue. Unnecessary dispute over deposit. It took us 5 months to get our deposit back and we had to raise a dispute with the TDS in order to get most of it back. The agent wasted our time as they agreed to pay the amount back but a few days later claimed they had “clicked the wrong button” on the portal, hence leading to the reopening of the , wasting more of our time. Furthermore, the estate agents are ownedrun by the landlords family. As opposed to doing the correct thing, the employees working here decided to support their rogue landlordrelative in his ridiculous demands and chose to purposely delay the of our deposit to irritateharass us. We felt bullied and the claims made by them were all lies and bullying tactics to get us to agree we were at fault, when we were not. I have also emailed to ask about the complaints procedure as Lisa O’Mahoney who works this company in the property management department was of no help to us and supported the landlord in this ridiculous demandsclaims as opposed to explaining to him that he was wrong. Regardless, raising a complaint won’t do much as this is family run so they will probably just ignore me. Worst experience I’ve ever had of dealing with mould and a landlord who is either an expert at lying and making things up, or extremely forgetful! Thankfully, the TDS decision was in our favour and we got the majority of our money back. Please avoid where possible, these people will bully and harass the heck out of you! Knowing that there is a massive mould issue here, the ridiculous landlordagent have still brought tenants in, worst thing is they even have two little kids, I feel awful them! No regardconcern tenant health, only want to steal people’s money where possible.

We have rented a property through them. We paid £1200 in agency fees which we were expecting a really good service. As soon as we moved in, a room was full of damp and the moisture has spread through other rooms. Our emails were ignored for several months until we decided to... Read Full Review

10 Dec 2015Unfortunately these tenants have been serial complainers since even before they moved in. A minor damp issue in a small cupboard seems to have been used by them as an excuse to find fault with...
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).
