The Letting People, 1st floor, 113 Regent Street, Leamington Spa
Would you use this agent again? No

I have recently had the misfortune of being a tenant of The Letting People for 6 months in a 1-bedroom flat in Leamington Spa. On the door to their office is a quote saying how great they are, credited to ƒÂ¢¢â€šÂ¬…“Mr. A. LandlordƒÂ¢¢â€šÂ¬, and this hilariously transparent attempt at self-promotion sets the tone quite aptly for the experiences that follow.

I can only confirm and reiterate what others have said regarding this organisation - AVOID dealing with the

Readings Property Group, 48 Granby Street, Leicester
Would you use this agent again? No

I have been a landlord with Readings Property Group for 13 months and i can tell you now that it has been the worst 14 months of my life as a landlord. This is the first time that i have ever let a property and i can assure you that i will never take this route again from the experience that i have had with Readings.

It all started very well and our tenants were business which installed better confidence but we never received any rent for the first 2 months due to repairs that needed to be ca

1ST LETS
704 CATHCART ROAD
GOVANHILL

I used 1st let's in Glasgow for 3 years when I moved out "I was told by the manager" the lease has been changed and I had to give them my new address or I wasn't getting my deposit back, none of this was on my lease, (but aparantly that was changed) when I had no notification the shop was basically adding stuff on to another lease when I hadn't signed for it but apparently I had to follow it.

When I went to hand my keys in I had all this information

Review by WARNING on 18th March 2014
Smith & Winborn, PO Box 112, East Horsley
Would you use this agent again? No

When looking for somewhere to for our second year at University we were informed by David Rolph that he had many properties we could look at. He's a good salesman I'll give him that - talking up all the properties - spacious and great value for money. However when we went to view these amazing properties we were left horrified. How SWR can represent landlords and try and encourage people to let these properties astounds me. Most of the properties were old and run down and just plain dirty. I thi

Review by Ashley on 20th March 2014
Living In London, Unit 1, The Booking Hall, London
Would you use this agent again? Yes

I am thoroughly impressed with the high quality personal service I received working with Living in London. The difference with other estate agents is stark. I firmly believe that the purchase of our flat would never have gone through if it wasn't for the persistance and innovative thinking of the team here. Sabir, in particular, never, ever gave up on us (even when we felt like doing so). I must have spoken to him over a period of a year, and he was in regular contact with us on the phone (somet

Lenwell Property Services, 2 West Street, Dunstable
Would you use this agent again? No

I am not surprise to read such reviews of this agency in this web site, It has taken me a long time to come back here and write this review. I was renting with them for 2 years at least. I had all sort of troubles, as an example is no central heating for months with one of the coldest winters and a 2 months old baby. None of my concerns, letters, calls, or complaints did any difference for Lenwell to get it repaired sooner. It was from around December till July the following year until finally t

Review by BetterMan on 20th March 2014
McGarrigle & Co, 234 Nantwich Road, Crewe
Would you use this agent again? No

Tried to rent a property in Crewe, The Estate agent was telling lies not just about the landlord but also about herself. They took the attitude that we were not suitable for the property before receiving our references. At one point they asked for 3 months rent up front. Arrogant, ignorant and self serving. I would strongly suggest that you look elsewhere.

Example of lies. It was a landlady, then a landlord who was offering the property said the MCG rep. Landlord was at the property on viewi

ORiordan Bond Estate Agents, Unit 17a Weston Favell Shopping Centre, Northampton
Would you use this agent again? No

AWFUL SERVICE NEVER RENT WITH O'RIORDAN BOND.

The manager of the Weston Favell branch found it appropriate to stand shouting and pointing her finger at my parents and partner when they were trying to rectify this situation. I've never dealt with anyone in authority who has showed themselves to be more vulgar, dishonest and unprofessional.

Myself and my partner viewed a property, it was a nice house but it needed some repairs and general cleaning. At our viewing we were told that all rep

Review by James on 22nd March 2014
Connells, 29-30 Watling Street , Canterbury
Would you use this agent again? No

To add some context, the property in focus was listed under both Touchstone Residential Lettings as well as Regal Estates, Canterbury. We approached both agencies to enquire about all anticipated fees and deposits in the hope that we would then arrange a viewing. The crux of this review came following a viewing provided by Touchstone lettings, and a phone-call I received from the Canterbury Area Manager for the agency shortly after. Touchstone were offering very competitive fees and arrangements

Scargill Mann & Co, 4 St James Street, Derby
Would you use this agent again? No

Please avoid this letting agent.
Prior to moving out the agent showed two prospective tenants around the flat. On the first occasion I had been away from the flat for a week and returned to find the flat unlocked. It had therefore been left unlocked for a whole week. I complained and asked to speak to the manager who was unavailable. On the second occasion they showed a tenant around when I was again away for the weekend. I returned to find the flat unlocked again.
When I left, over £100 was
