Many thanks for taking your time to leave a review of our services. Whilst we appreciate your frustration with certain reported maintenance issues, I'm sure you can appreciate it is very difficult to be able to carry out any maintenance work on a property if landlords stipulate that all repairs have to be authorised prior to us being able to instruct. While we take care that all tenants receive a swift response to repairs we can only act on a landlords instruction to then allow us to ins ...

Thank you for your feedback. When viewing the property you were advised that the landlord would be undertaking certain works.He failed to carry these out which we advised you of, we waited to see if he would but despite numerous promises the works were not carried out by the landlord. After a discussion with your father we felt it would not be safe to move you in.The deposit was returned to your father. ...
