Review by Alex on 24th August 2014
Leaders, 3 Northgate, Chichester
Would you use this agent again? No

I started out extremely optimistically when choosing to rent with Leaders. I received a recommendation from a work colleague and was looking forward to dealing with a helpful and professional agent. My partner and I are planning our own home-build 6 months from now and were looking for somewhere to rent for those 6 months.
We found a property with a mutual friend of ours (to help us save - we are on a strict saving budget as plots of land aren't cheap!). We passed all of our referencing and pai

Hodders, 15 Windsor Street, Chertsey
Would you use this agent again? No

Hodders are the most conspicuous agent in the Chertsey area. Their billboards are everywhere. I rented two properties over 30 months with them and I hardly know where to start.

Anyway, property number one: after complaining of the fact the landlord was still registered as living at the property -a debt collector's visit which required a long negotiation at the front door to persuade him we merely rented the property alerted me to that.I must say that the agent advised me to move as the landlo

Parks Residential Ltd, 107 Queens Road, Brighton
Would you use this agent again? No

My partner and I decided to view a fantastically presented flat. It had all the makings of an incredible home. During the viewing, there were issues and the Parks agents assured my partner and I that the gripes we had would be rectified before or shortly upon move in. First thing, during the viewing, I had an allergic reaction to the two cats that resided in the property. The agent saw me develop a rash. However, with full smile and confident assurance, she said all would be rectified upon move

Review by Thomas on 21st August 2014
Pat Robson & Co Ltd, 30 St. Marys Place, Newcastle upon Tyne
Would you use this agent again? No

We began our tenancy with Pat Robson in July 2013, and initially the experience was fine as we organised our deposits/bonds/rent payments, they were really helpful with this. However, as soon as the had our bonds, around £330 each, for 3 of us, there attitude towards ourselves and the property completely changed. Damp was all around the house's exterior walls, and the oven (amongst other things), was constantly breaking, and in no way for fit for use. We emailed countless times, and kept track

Review by JM31 on 19th August 2014
Northwood, 53a Western Road, Hove
Would you use this agent again? No

I've been left with a sour taste in my mouth after dealing with NorthwoodUK in Brighton after they took a holding deposit from me and making promises that the property would be taken from the market, before letting me know four days later that the property had gone to someone else after I had contacted them.

After viewing a property with NorthwoodUK Brighton, we decided to go ahead and pay the holding deposit to secure the property, thus cancelling all our other viewings for that afternoon. A

Review by ScottMJones on 19th August 2014
C & R Properties, 54 Stretford Road, Meridian Square, Manchester
Would you use this agent again? No

Avoid this company. At first everything seemed professional and straight forward but later turned out to be my worst letting experience ever! I met a guy called Joe at a flat, he showed me around. I then and there agreed to take the property. He took my details and assured me that he would contact me back that day or the following day (In less than 24 hours) two days went by and I heard nothing so I decided to give them a call. I spoke to a young lady who told me that she sent Joe an email reque

Review by GHR on 22nd August 2014
Property Moves, 109 Church Road, Brighton
Would you use this agent again? No

Had a very inconsistent service from the start. None of the letting agents who showed us around the house knew any of the answers to our questions and hesitated when we asked them to find out for us, I can't remember the name of the girl. She also told us the wrong price for the deposit. We were also NEVER told/warned that the property we are in is actually FOR SALE. Which is completely misleading and could totally affect how long we are able to stay in the property.

Mahasin had an extremely

Review by Prospective on 21st August 2014
Sam Alexander, 220 The Vale, London
Would you use this agent again? No

I called Sam Alexander Lettings to enquire about some studios in London advertised, and was told there was another coming up available from 20th October at 57 Roderick Road, Belsize Park which was not actually on the market yet. I spoke to Dean Bedford from Sam Alexander Lettings who told me that the rent was £205pw and all bills were included except internet, which I would have to arrange myself. I have lived in this area before and thought this was a very good deal. I asked again if ALL bills

Martin & Co, 26A Castle Quay, Banbury
Would you use this agent again? No

Avoid at all costs.
We rented through Martin and Co as we were trying to cut costs and Hamptons was expensive. We had been with hamptons for 3 years before we actually moved into our house but Martin and Co can off cheaper and now we know why?

They never took a proper inventory when the tennant moved in which looking at other reviews on this website is a common occurance with this branch.

The tennant had a dog with out permission which caused damage by chewing and digging, they nev
