Atrocious communication with both vendor and purchasers, copy and paste e mails rather than telephone calls. Viewers say she is arrogant and rude and does not listen to what they say. Does not return calls and ignores requests. Huge mistake on our part to believe ...

They WILL take your money even if you are completely honest with them about your situations and if they say you will be fine if offering 6 months up front and a guarantor (of which i did) they are LYING and will take your money and give you any story just to take your money!

I am sorry to have read your review and I am sorry that you felt the property you viewed with us was overpriced. Hopefully I can address some of the points you have raised. As an agent we try to take our responsibilities to purchasers and tenants very seriously. We are employed by the seller or landlord however. We must ensure that we act in their best interests and we are duty bound to take their instructions, be it regarding the criteria for renting their property or the price at which they ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Pull their finger out of their backsides and concentrate on a bit of customer service. The lady I spoke to first time round was lovely and chirpy when I first spoke to her because the girl who initially answered the phones miscommunicated that I wanted to rent out my own property. As soon as I corrected her to advise I actually wanted to rent one of their advertised properties she instantly turned into a miserable, uninterested jobsworth.
