Jack was my contact, but a terrible agent. Ignoring calls, not passing information to the landlord, or FROM the landlord.

We rented a house from Shipways for a short term, as we were moving to the area and needed to look for a house to buy. Throughout the process they have been uncommunicative, ignoring calls, not passing on information. It was a relief to move on to our new house (not bought through Shipways). Now we ...

I have no complaint with the fees apart from the fact that we cannot get our deposit back when we left the house in the condition we found it.

Fees aren't "cheap", but when the service and speed is so good you can understand why.
