Rented through them for over a year and the service they provide to tenants is truly woeful. Clearly only motivated to make money and appease the landlords while the tenants suffer.

Fees are high and disproportionate but I suppose they have to make money somehow.

Got there in plenty of time sat and waiting 20 minutes after the time that was arranged and called them just to be told they had no record! No apology has been received from them.... Read Full Review
For the service you receive the fees they charge are ridiculous. If anything happened in the property I doubt it would be fixed or paid attention too.

We were seeking a swift sale - It was done inside 6 weeks. The price we got was where it needed to be and was reflective of timing. I may have got more if I had waited but who knows when that offer would have come along.

The house wasn't in the best state due to the fact that landlord didn't want to invest to maintain it.

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.
