I wanted to give this micro business a chance but ended up regretting it. I am a landlord in se12 Hither Green and had the unfortunate experience of getting involved with this bunch of cowboys. False promises and bad management forced me to stop using them as quickly as I could. They are not fully licensed by ARLA but are actually using their logo on their website tut tut tut. They have phoenixed several companies under different names which sums up their morals. Hate to say it but you are much better off going to a more well known larger company with more protection. Just my opinion. But you have been warned!!
What agent could do to change your mind?
Do as you promise in the original contract.

Interesting comments on here - let's update these to 2015. Comments on Les being fantastic - had no issues with Les in the beginning, eager to come on board to manage my property. After 2 years, not only did he hike up my fee contrary to agreeing a reduction, he was nowhere to be found, did not ... Read Full Review

Forbes and Sawyer have consistently refused to communicate in writing, around important issues such as tenancy renewal or house inspections. When we moved in, we weren't able to see the contract in advance. They put us under a lot of pressure and have threatened us with eviction. They have failed ... Read Full Review
What agent could do to change your mind?
- Written communication - Carry out their terms of the contract - Transparency over fees
Comments on Agent Fees
Tenants shouldn\'t have to pay fees and, if they do, fees should be transparent and available online beforehand.

I purchased a property through Forbes and then rented it through them. Mark and Les are always available for help/advice and not once did I have an issue with them, in fact the opposite. I find the other negative comments on here amazing and somewhat suspicious, regarding the company details, ... Read Full Review

Forbes and Sawyer Hither Green provided a very bad service for which I feel compelled to warn others of. They made us lose a large chunk of money and caused us lots of stress. We have also bumped into other local people in Hither Green who have also have bad experiences with Forbes and ... Read Full Review

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.
