I had no working oven for the majority of my year tenancy nor a bathroom room (it was a studio property so you ...

Steer clear of this organization for "property management" if you are a landlord and best of luck if you find yourself a tenant of a property they manage. 5 months in to my tenancy we are on the verge of finishing a project that was agreed to be done prior to move in. Ultimately the organization manages nothing and expects you to spend your time organizing with contractors and scheduling your own time while simultaneously having no clue about where any project stands. Outrageously they are charg ...

Kudos to Kate!! She's just amazing. As an overseas landlord, it's nearly impossible to know what's going on in my flat. But Kate is super communicative, and goes above and beyond the call of duty. In addition, I had my flat listed with another agency ...

Radyah Sultana, who is in charge of the paperwork, was so unprofessional, dishonest and impatient. I have received passive-aggressive threats from her and had a really bad experience.
We worked smoothly with Egle and David, and paid the deposit very early.
However, the contract was ...
