They do not answer the phone. The answering machine told us to fill in the form to review the property online but the website calendar does not work. I sent emails but no reply. They just take money from landlords but does appalling customer service. Please do not use this... Read Full Review

My boyfriend arranged 2 flat viewings on the phone on Friday for the following Tuesday and said they seemed to be perfectly friendly. It is incredibly difficult to find nice properties at the moment, so after a discussion we asked via the telephone number they provided for any queries or issues... Read Full Review

I booked two viewings for 2 different properties on Tuesday. The 'tenants cancelled' both and only gave me the option of viewing one which i agreed to on Friday. On Friday I turned up to the propery at a time agreed and the agent did not show! Baring in mind I had to travel over half... Read Full Review

I have rented through 7 different agencies in my life and have never been treated as badly as with Pinnacle. They are unresponsive through email and tell you to email when you call so communication is impossible. They even altered dates on photographs for their closing inspection of the property,...

There was a hole in the roof where rain came in for the whole 18 months we were there. In heavy rain a whole bucket would be filled in an hour, with a little waterfall down the wall where mushrooms grew. We reported this so many times and were always ignored. Eventually a concerned neighbour... Read Full Review

Absolutely appalling service from this agent and ripped off on fees and return of deposit. My daughter and friends rented a house from them last academic year. My daughter has already left negative feedback on this site but I would just like to add if you are unfortunate enough to have already... Read Full Review

Pinnacle don't even deserve one star. I would not recommend this estate agents to anyone. Me and my friends rented one of their properties last year, and the first thing was the house had not been cleaned at all (not even hoovered) by August 1st when we moved in. We complained multiple times... Read Full Review

Pinnacle have been very disappointing since the beginning. The house was not clean upon us arriving, with leaks, over grown grass and nails/broken glass in the garden. As a company they are slow to handle problems and extremely poor in handling customer queries/requests for maintenance. Charlotte ... Read Full Review
