My boyfriend and I rented a flat in Reading from Atlantis. They were adequate in terms of viewings i.e. they were what you would expect from estate agents - flash, vacuous, lazy, thick. Nevertheless, one of the flats they showed us had not been ...

Completely agree with the original posting from the tenant.
Dear Secretary to Mr. Andrew Strong,
Please stop this "copy and paste" response and tell Mr. Strong that his company has a reputation for being a bunch of thugs and he is the biggest one of them all.
Thanks,
Another Tenant who suffered rip-off at the hands of Atlantis agents. ...

Beware - They are sales people full of BS and appear totally dishonest - which sounds harsh I know but if you had to deal with the amount on nonsense this firm generates, you would say the same.

I am very sorry that you feel this way. This review has genuinely shocked me as it is one of the first complaints we have received about our service within this company.
I would welcome the opportunity to resolve any of the issues that you have. Please be assured that this is not a false promise. If there is a genuine issue I would like to get it resolved.
The only way I can do this though is by you contacting me directly with details of the building and your concerns, so I hope that I w ...

This review prompted the managing director to get in touch and some of the issues were resolved. We have an electric heater and more furniture.
We still have not had the inventory returned to us one month on. We were informed very strongly the penalties we would receive if we did not return it promptly but it appears Atlantis feel under no obligation to reciprocate.
Despite three emails, that have not even been acknowledged, our washing machine remains broken for the last 10 days.
