I totally agree with the landlord. Archer Basset are a waste of space. The comment about the inspection reports is completely true. I have re carpeted and re painted the property. Instructed the agent to ensure no re decoration is done by the tenant. What do I find when the tenant left. The property was re decorated to a poor standard and the property was left in a terrible mess. I have a number of properties which I will never rent through Archers again. Bad bad agents. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
1. Either clean the house when you say you will, or let them into the dump of a property you're "managing" when the tenant wants. 2. Replace a fire exit door straight away, as the law demands - if I could change anything, I'd have reported you to the council the same week as the incident occurred for breach of contract, breaking the law and endangering my life.

We are quite disturbed to say the least after reading this review. We have checked through our systems in all of our 3 branches and spoke to every single member of staff and we cannot find any recent maintenance issues that match your above review. Futhermore we would NEVER instruct any of our contractors to seal a door shut especially if it was a fire exit and neither would we take weeks (regardless of our instruction from the landlord) to replace/repair an external door. We have been in busine ...

1 star is generous! We were with archer Bassett for years in Rugby and had no end of problems with them. We really look after our property and tried to be good tenents and all we got for our trouble was hassle after hassle. They couldn't even be bothered to call contractors when needed and left everything to us. Landlords and tenants save yourself a lot of stress and avoid them like the plague. ...
