This agency from the start of my tenancy were extremely hard to deal with, Maintenance issues took a long time to be responded to, and the staff members were rude to me on a number of occasions. Once I left the property, they tried to deduct money from my deposit for ridiculous things, that were not in my contract (or legal)! When I researched the deposit protection scheme that was stated in my contract, it turned out the my deposit was never protected with that company! When speaking to the staff at the agency, Sam in particular was very rude to me on a number of occasions. I was called "stupid" by him more than once, and also him and Poppy both put the phone down on me more than once. Once I received my deposit, there was only a small amount deducted. The deductions were for cleaning (which was not stated in my contract), a charge for the deposit protection scheme (which mine apparently wasn't protected with), and for a light bulb that was broken when I originally moved in. Even though I did not agree with this, I decided it was not worth disputing because it wasn't a large sum of money and I want nothing more to do with this agency and I would warn others not to!
They need to improve on customer service and learn how to be polite to customers. They need to stop trying to take advantage of people and trying to get away with keeping their money!

This place is an absolute joke. I called in and was met with the rudest, most unprofessional attitude I've ever encountered. The person on the other end of the line sounded like they hated their job and anyone who dared to call. They fired questions at me like I was on trial, and then had the ... Read Full Review

If i could i would put 0 stars . Firstly they hook you into a 6 month contract which actually means you have to stay for 8 months as they told me 2 month notice needs to be given after 6 months . They charge way to much rent for a property with no air flow or windows for that matter. They have not ... Read Full Review

ALL POSITIVE REVIEWS FOR THIS AGENCY ARE CLEARLY FAKE! YOU SHOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS! This is the worst agency ever. It’s run by the most unprofessional people who seem to pray on tenants who don’t know their rights in the UK. During our 8 month stay there we countered a ... Read Full Review

I am rating this agency with 1 STAR because I can't provide less stars. It is a complete FRAUD.

I am rating this agency with 1 STAR because I can\'t provide less stars. It is a complete FRAUD. I can ensure you this; they seem nice but they are dishonest and lie perpetually just to make more money from you. From my our first meeting I realized they were dodgy and I did not trust my guts, I was completely wrong. They made my life miserable for 6 months with constant noise, entering to the apartament when I was asleep, with huge amounts of rubbish in the entrance even we were paying cleaning fees or not hot water for a week.I had a 6 months contract and they pushed me to stay 2 more months threating me directly that if I\'d leave earlier, would not see my deposit back. At the end I had to go to council to have it back which took me, numerous meetings, money and all the stress and headaches. This is a real review and I can\'t believe they are people rating this with 5 STARS, they must work for them though. Please avoid under any circumstances, pay a bit more and choose another agency Please.

I concur with the other negative reviews here - I suspect they're not above board as a business. Transparently try to scam as many arbitrary charges from your deposit as possible when you leave. I could tell it was a chaotic operation from the beginning and tried to keep my head down, ... Read Full Review

THE MOST DISGUSTING PEOPLE AND AGENCY I HAVE EVER COME ACCROSS.

I thought I would write a review but, going back through my correspondence, there were too many things to include, so I thought I would keep it to the things Ashley Samuel did that were illegal to keep it to a manageable length. 1. Refusing to provide landlord details upon request within 21 Days ... Read Full Review

Sadly Ashley Samuel was more of the same when renting in London. The flat was not cleaned at all before we moved in, resulting in days of work scrubbing it down. The hot water absolutely did not function, and they wouldn't respond to any contact to fix this issue; luckily it was summer but I feel ... Read Full Review
Exorbitant fees at every turn. Even when moving out, we had to pay shy of £120 for references for the new flat!

I can't believe how much money this agency took* from us! Extra charges when we moved in, more money than what we were told at the beginning for the rent, £60 for a reference letter (not even a letter, a misspelled with wrong information email) and many charges deducted from deposit. I just ... Read Full Review

Don't trust any words from them, as they never keep their promises.
