Agency takes weeks to fix issues, leaving us for 3 weeks without a working front door which was a fire Hazzard, and over 7 weeks without access to our garage where we had food in our freezer. This also delayed our ability to move property. Staff seem very friendly and make all sorts of promises but ... Read Full Review

After inspection was done at flat it turns out they were taking all but 74 pound of 975 pound deposit due to... Read Full Review

Upon our initial enquiry to CMRENT regarding a flat in Witham, I was greeted by an extremely rude lady on the other end of the phone. When I asked whether we could view the flat later than the time she had originally suggested, as I was taking my daughter swimming at that time, she rudely grunted... Read Full Review

CM Rent are the worst letting agent we have EVER experienced. They conned us into moving into a very poorly maintained house, and refused to do any repairs for months-even ones that broke health and safety laws. They also did not tell us that the person living next door was very noisy, abusive,... Read Full Review
There is no way I would ever use this company again, and I am surprised they have not been shut down by now.

I cannot say too much about this excuse of a business as I am, at present, seeking legal recourse over a number of outstanding issues in regard to the property, the agent and the landlord. All i will say is that DO NOT trust cmRent any further than you can throw them. unless you wish to pay over... Read Full Review

I have very unfortunately been a tenant in a property supposedly managed by CM Rent, and I have been waiting several months for basic repairs to be done. I had to call out the environmental health to assess the safety of the property as Paul Buck ignored a written formal complaint I sent them, and... Read Full Review

Rude, unhelpful and made me so angry I had to try my hardest not to swear at him. In fairness, I would like to state that all other members of staff I have dealt with at CM Rent have been helpful throughout my letting the property. However, on departure my issues have started. I moved out of... Read Full Review
Been more supportive and assisted by at least providing the documentation requested. None of my requests were unreasonable given the situation.

This letting agent is very badly organised and have very low standards in the properties they rent out. They refuse to do electrical safety tests on any of their properties as there is a loophole in the law that gets them out of this,which is worrying to say the least. They refused to fix...

Trust in the reviews you see online as we did not and we are paying for it now by living in a house where we will have to fight to get even the most basic repairs carried out. This agent have pretty much done everything wrong and in an extremely unprofessional manner despite us being good tenants, so they would have to be a different company all together to help us \'change our mind\'

Fantastic company.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
