Very nearly rented a flat from them but ended up pulling out as there were too many problems. There was work that needed to be done to the property prior to moving in, they weren't keen to do that. They were however keen to get their hands on your cash - tried to push us to pay their fees before we'd signed a contract or even been allowed to see the property to check the work had been done, staff were evasive and at times down right rude. Stay away you have been warned

The most awful agency I've ever had the misfortune of dealing with. Terrible staff - rude, offensive and unprofessional. Individuals there have very limited knowledge of the properties they have on their books, or any of the rooms they're letting. They clearly don't train their staff but that's ... Read Full Review
Train their staff! Clearly a culture there of unhappiness and unprofessionalism that needs to be sorted. Also allow tenants to meet the other tenants before moving in, if requested.

We had to deal with them for 1 year. Would not recommend this agency to anyone. They were really slow to fix issues. They took ages to respond to our issues and they tried to charge us £20 for a scrathed £5 ikea table. It was horrible dealing with them. Please ... Read Full Review

Terrible agency. The check-in and check-out inventories were completely inaccurate. The check-in report claimed that there was a freshly painted radiator in one of the bedrooms, when in reality there was no radiator (the room turned out to be a converted garage). When we raised this issue with ... Read Full Review

Terrible. As other reviewer said, they try to squeeze every last drop of money out of you! They don't honour the law when it comes to their tenancy agreements and conned us into paying an extra month's rent when we said we were leaving. The situation would've been avoided if their staff had ... Read Full Review
Not broken the law. Not tried to squeeze extortionate fees out of us in return for a terrible service.

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.
