If you ever decide to rent in Nottingham, I beg that you NEVER use CDF estates. Yes, their cheap rent is appealing but it is cheap for a reason and really not worth it in the long run. The trouble started from the get go. No heating or hot water working on my first day of moving in and it happened to be in an old Victorian flat in the first week of January, so absolutely freezing cold as you can imagine. There were damp problems too and all the taps in the bathroom did not work properly. I was t
If you want to rent a flat, do yourself a favor and steer away from this office. I have been renting flats and houses for more than 12 years, 6 of those in the UK and the experience with this branch is definitely the worse of all. This is a long read, but will give you an idea of what to expect with them.
It all starts 2 and a half years ago when I move in with my girlfriend, who had been living in their own flat for at least 5 years, right in the moment that Leaders buys the agency she used
I had a viewing schedule for 3pm on Saturday 7 Oct 2017 at a property in Caterham. I was very excited when I saw the property on Park & Bailey website. Unfortunately, due to heavy traffic and our taxi driver getting lost and taking a longer road, I was 25 mins late. I rang prior to the scheduled time to advise Liam Feeney from the Caterham office accordingly but I could not get through to Liam. I rang the Warlingham office also and was advised they would contact him and revert back to me. I did
After finding a property that we liked, we went ahead and decided to put the necessary holding deposit down to secure the place. We agreed the moving-in date with the estate agent, and signed the Holding Deposit Agreement for the agreed move date and rent per month.
After paying the £200 holding deposit, a few days later we were called and told the move-in date was actually now 'too late' and that we needed to move in sooner so the landlord could collect the rent on the same day as other tena
Extremely unprofessional, and poor service. Avoid doing business with this establishment if at all possible.
Problems initially caused by this establishment were when they had informed one of our fellow-tenants that it was okay for them to move out part-way through the contract. Later it was revealed to me personally, by the landlady, that this should not have been the case. After visiting the establishment in person, I was concerned to find they did not seem to have my contact details on file.
I rented a one bedroom apartment in Slough with frost and from day one it was a joke. Pooja took us to the property, she was bored, not interested and rushed us. We still took the place anyways. There was no problems for about 9 months, this was because there was no issues until then.
Issue number 1: lightbulb ceiling holders were screwed on too tight. After emailing Arandeep several times as well as Pooja I finally got a response and her response was that the previous tenants never reported i
Parks is another example of the usual estate agent deal of being pleasant and nice, and as soon as you've signed the contract immediately becoming incredibly unhelpful, before fulfilling the stereotype of estate agents by taking copious amounts of your deposit for 'cleaning charges'.
We would ask Parks to fix items in the building that were already broken upon moving in, and all you would receive is messages telling you that they are working on it, someone is on their way; but realistically not
Throughout my tenancy, I was looking to writing a great review. When it comes to pre-tennancy and during tenancy service, 1 Stop is perhaps the best agent in Glasgow.... but note that qualification - we'll get back to that.
When I first identified the property they were more than happy to show it at times that suited me, including early evening rather than the set times some other agents do.
I had some rather unique circumstances leading up to my tennancy... after a move in date was agreed a
Great - Until you get into the property. Now i know why they asked me to review them before id even moved in. From the very 1st day we moved in there was issues. Moved into a 2 bedroom flat and was only given 1 key. Had to wait a month to receive a new one. My flatmate didn't receive her bedroom window key until the last month of the 6th month tenancy. The 1st time the bath was used, the dial to raise the plug snapped off. Someone eventually came to fix the bath a week later - they had to get un
Being new to the UK from Canada , I needed to find a place to live as quickly as possible and didn't have much time to ''shop'' around and find the right agency.
When I moved in and eventually settled into my flat a couple of days in, I became very displeased that the agency was not more transparent in the state of the flat (i.e. poor plumbing, an oven that makes an irritating screeching noise every time it's used, and absolutely terrible insulation resulting in many freezing nights during the w
