Appalling and thoroughly depressing experience. Property was unfit for habitation on arrival - urine soaked carpets. Agent refused to visit and inspect without my paying them. Sent a contractor to clean carpets with my items in situ and I have informed them the urine smell has come back through as soaked to underlay. Reply is that they can do no more and I can move out if I don't like it. My son has severe health problems and it cost us several thousands to obtain the property. Tenancy agreement took 3 weeks and a threat of court to be printed and given to me in full. Inventory sent to my old address and redirected here just in time for deadline to report issues. Chasing them for 3 weeks for bank details to pay rent as standing order not sent to bank as promised. This involved 3 emails, 2 voicemails and a message left with an agent plus my mum going to the branch to find it closed at 10am. I feared they had shut down and the rent went unpaid and then I was chased as being in arrears. The credit dept werelovely and got hold of Christchurch. Stuart admitted receiving my messages and replied that he had not responded as not a priority. An agent that doesn't give a toss about his landlord getting paid or indeed the welfare of his tenants. I have been here over a month and no utilities have been set up as promised. I had to investigate to find out who supplies me. A decade of renting- I am a single mum who works a 44hr week and have always had all my deposits back with complimentary feedback from landlords and agents. I am staggered by the level of service and attitude encountered with this agent.

I rented from this agent when they were formerly known as Saxon Management, the whole process of renting with them was stressful and extremely intrusive. I was made to feel not worthy enough to rent from them despite having a salary in excess of what 1 of their staff members could earn in 5... Read Full Review

The way the office manager spoke to me was completely out of order. Back in June I was going to rent a property, but the Landlord withdrew, but I was not offered all the fees I had paid back, despite none of it being my... Read Full Review

I have been with Allan and Bath when they were still Saxon Management for more than 12 years. First I was a tenant renting properties in Christchurch from them during that time I only received excellent service and support. I then bought a property and for the past 8 years they managed the property ... Read Full Review

Awful service right from the start! They took my money and then made it so difficult to actually rent the house I ended up nearly homeless and having to pay out to another agent for another property. When I complained about branch staff they fobbed me off to the head office and then I get an awful... Read Full Review

Do not rent a property from this company. Very poor service and check out fees they will still try and charge you for incorrect things even when the property is left in better condition when moved in. Do not move in unless you get your inventory first as they sent ours a week later and totally... 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.
