From other reviews here, I must have had it good...
Completely unprofessional and incompetent people, particularly in the property management department.
I had problems with the central heating not working which was not resolved for 3 weeks and required me having to rant at their office ...

I have dealt with a number of Estate/Letting agents over the last 6years in Oxfordshire, Northumberland, London, Dorset and Reading. I have never come across such a poorly run, unprofessional, deplorable 'company' as Atlantis.
I have lived in an Atlantis 'managed' (I use the ...

Yeah sorry to hear all this Adam,
And CB - it's nto just "Anog" who can be found at their offices but also Marie, Rob, Norman and Peter!! They could have at least used original usernames.
Wait till my review gets posted guys, it's a beauty. Shame to be so negative about a company but it all rings true and I just want people to see what they are dealing with should they decide (insanely) to go ahead and use them anyway.

Atlantis Property Services Ltd are an appalling company whose main aim is to make as much money as they can by swindling tenants.
I was a tenant (first time renting) with Atlantis for 2 years and found them to be very unprofessional, unreliable and unavailable. Even ...

One star is one too many in my opinion. Businesses like this continue to make money out of fleecing the young and old of this country. Make a difference just dont use them. There are plenty of quality comapnies in Reading notably Haslams. They offer ...

Okay let me see... I had to deal with about 10 different people who kept telling me different reasons about why I hadn't received my deposit back yet after I had been told that I was due back several hundred pounds, never did get it back I gave up in the end, one of those people was Andrew. I frequently had to deal with the Landlord directly as it never was resolved if I contacted Atlantis. I lived with a hole in my Living room ceiling for months and John Sykes failed to follow through on his ...

I have had a terrible experience with Atlantis, on several occasions letting agents have brought viewers around without appointments, and they are unwilling to schedule appointments which are convenient to both parties. On the one occasion I attempted to rearrange an appointment because the time ...

Dear Thetenant,
Thank you for your comment. I'm afraid it has been a little difficult over the past week to contact you after 4pm in the afternoon as I have been out of the office on appointments for the majority of the time.
I hope that you have not received a copy of our internal complaints procedure and I am keen to resolve the problems that you currently have.
I understand that you are moving out of the property today and perhaps you may like to contact me on my mobile phone at a time ...

I am very glad I got a quick response from the Managing Director himself in regards to my negative comment. He was very helpful and understand. A true professional. He advised me very clearly on the procedures of ending my agreement early with reduced hassle, which I'm very happy about.
Hopefully, I'll be able to move out soon and I'll update this review in future. ...

I couldn't agree with you more. They provided a very bare-bones inventory, which hardly reflected the deficiencies with the apartment. On one of the quarterly visits, they had the nerve to tell me to get some professional to replaster the bathroom ceiling, when it was in the same condition when I moved in.
I still cannot believe they charge to provide a reference. I will NEVER use Atlantis again and will make sure I spread the news to everyone I know. ...

Avoid this company at all costs
Do not be fooled by their glossy image, in my opinion they are the worst agency in Reading, perhaps the UK.
