We were a group of students who went with caxtons. The landlord for our house was helpful herself but we found caxtons sadly to be condescending and rude to us and it felt that this was to be a part because we were students. I am unhappy to say I would not recommend them to any students in... Read Full Review

Disgusting! They have humiliated us, told us we'll be made homeless by them, lied about us not giving back the keys and renting the property after the end of tenancy took over a grand of our deposit for nothing! The staff is incredibly rude and even the ones in Gravesend are completely useless ... Read Full Review

What agent could do to change your mind?

Literally they would have to have changed their whole practise because they were absolutely horrific, incredibly unprofessional and I would not recommend them to anyone!!!!!!

Not worth the money Especially as they have been no help, have not fixed anything and have tried to take advantage and get as much money out of us possible giving little or nothing in return
