This company practically forced us to sell with them. We liked a house they had for sale and they said the vendor would not sell to us unless we sold our property through them. Completely cocked up the sale of our property, lied to us, and when we wished to terminate our contract, they refused to give the list of people they had recommended our house to. This meant that we were tied into them for another 6 months before we could sell with another agent. We would have had to pay them commissions despite them failing to sell. We lost the house of our dreams and were severely delayed. They completely refused to take any responsibility or attempt to make amends. For your own sanity and physical well-being, do not use!

My Husband and I booked a viewing to see a property in Manchester through Right Move. We arrived at the property and the Agent showed us around the property, where we asked all the questions we needed to regarding the property, which we were so excited and happy about, it was an absolutely fantastic property, and almost too good to be true!!! We were asked to pay a Joint Reference Fee of �280.00 and were informed of all the documents needed to be sent to their offices. That same day we paid over the required fee and as sent all the required documents to Allison&Co. 2 days later after arriving back in London. We informed our Agent that time was of the essence and that we needed to move in within 2 weeks as our current lease would expire by then. We never thought it would be a problem as the advert on RightMove indicated that the property is available immediately. Well....2 weeks came and went, we moved out of our rental property in London and set off on the trains to Manchester. A day after arriving here, we called Allison&Co to check up on our Referencing, only to find out they now required more documents to complete the referencing process which was not conveyed to Us for almost 2 Weeks and that they had only sent off all the information to be referenced after we had already arrived in Manchester ready to move in and expecting their efficiency to be quicker than 2 weeks to require 1 piece of information!!! We are spending �80.00 a night for a hotel for the next 6 days totaling �480.00, and who knows how longer it will take and cost us!!! Their lack of professionalism is pricing us out of the property that their own Agency is trying to Rent US. Clearly this company is not in the correct industry!

It was the worst experience ever. Last May, when we signed our contract they did not inform us from the agency that they were already looking to sell the property (something that we later found out from a staff member and from a sales advert online). Also, they used to inform us not even 24 hours before when they wanted to show the flat to prospective owners and tenants, without expecting a response from us, confirming that it would be fine for strangers to enter our flat the particular days and times. Moreover, when we had signed the contracts we had highlighted to them that we don't wish to move in the middle of our academic year, since we are students. However, prior to the expiration of the contract, even if they knew that we chose this flat because we could renew our contract, they sent me a text message asking me to evacuate the flat in 10 days; a procedure that is illegal, because every single agency needs to send a registered two month-notice in order for the tenants to leave the property. Additionally, they never fixed the heaters, even if I had called them three times, with the excuse that they didn't wish to tell the landlord to pay extra money to fix them. At this point it must be noted, that when we signed the contracts, the signature of the landlord was made by a staff member of the agency. Last but not least, they instructed us to rent a cleaning crew to perform a vast number of outrageous cleaning actions, the kind we have not experienced when we had entered the flat in the first place.

Dear Zenia.
We have no tenants of this name. Even if you have used a disguised name we cannot relate to this series of events. I therefore suspect this is a "rogue" review. If you are...

I am currently renting a property with Allison and co when I received my contract to renew I didn't sign it so thought I was on a rolling month contract I gave a months notice to vacate the property. They then asked me for an exit fee of 470 pound to pay which they refused to put the property to on the market until i have paid the exit fee and I have to pay the rent still someone moves in. I am not happy the way I have been treated as I didn't sign the contract I will be taking this further as I have spoken to some other estate agents and they said this is not acceptable if you haven't signed the contract and I will be contacting the ombudsman.
