Avoid this company if at all possible. Only exist to line Andrew Strong's pockets, with very high fees and charges. Charged £50 for being a day late with payment. Normal companies just send a reminder initially, but this mob charge £50 for every communication....

Absolutely agree - I was also charged £50 for 1 day late on a £23 charge over Christmas. Their 30 day period does not include postal delivery so as far as I was concerned I was within the period. Absolutely rediculous. Not only that they keep making demands for all these small amounts and then clobber the unsuspecting owners. ...

This sounds suspiciously like the property we have moved into (in RG4)- we have been here 6 weeks and the non-usable bathroom is still in the same condition - many other issues have surfaced since we moved in(none of which were disclosed, either by the agent or the landlord). The original complainant is being overly generous in awarding 1 star for service(or could that be that there is no option to give a zero star rating!) ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
As you will be able to determine from the detail I have given about my experience with this agent, the improvements could be made by not lying to the customers and a clear and concise method of communication to both tennants and landlords. Pay more care and attention to the customer and apologise when things do go wrong.

Dear FM, Thank you for your message. I am very sorry to hear that you are unhappy with our service. I am not sure if we have ever spoken directly, however, please do contact me directly so that we can resolve this matter. Alternatively, if you would prefer not to I would confirm that the majority of our instructions are from resident management companies (i.e. the leaseholders themselves) and as such this is likely to be the case in your instance.
