I have have been with this unethical company for a few years now. I have come to realise a few things about them, for starters they absolutely do not have their clients at heart and if in any way possible will try and unfortunately succeed in extorting their "clients" as we the bill...

Ian is the rudest man and most inarticulate man I have the misfortune to have to waste oxygen on, he clearly clearly has delusions of grandeur and that customers are little more than serfs. Avoid like the plague or sack them if you... Read Full Review

Absolutely shocking company. And they have the cheek to have the word "management" in their title. Had numerous run ins with them over the past 22 years. Latest is them carrying out work without consultation with homeowners. Property manager decided that £10 per property was... Read Full Review

9 Mar 2023Horrendous company. No proper invoicing, random bills with no details of work carried out, can't set up direct debit, don't respond to queries unless you pester them. Billed us £200 when we...

The worse service ever! No communication, ridiculous amounts of money and no idea where the money goes as the cleaners don't even seem to clean my landing (they just lift the mats and leave), nothing seems to be covered under insurance, no one informs you of what work is to be done and no one ...

Watch out for this company. They have been factors at a property I own in Glasgow. Initially I did not receive their invoices and so they apply administration and late payment fees. When I contest these they ignore my communications and then they charge some more fees. Then every quarter... Read Full Review

I did write a very scathing review of H&P but I was contacted by a whiny voiced peon of theirs named Gordon Buchanan who threatened legal action if I didn't remove it. So here's a point by point version of why they suck (you asked for it, Gordie): No close cleaning or communal area... Read Full Review

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.
