Whilst others report bad experiences, mine was nothing but positive! Yes, the contracts are a little 'heavy' but unless you have a vegi shake for a brain, you will be fine.
All issues were dealt with promptly, and one the one occasion it wasn't, a ... read full review
Don't have anything to do with this bunch. We (along with several other couples) viewed a flat that we really liked. I asked Paul what would happen if several people were interested, and he told us the details of all interested parties would be passed ... read full review

I wish I knew about this web site before I started looking for a place to rent. They seem to have lovely properties, but not worth the agro that is to follow. The contracts are exruciating - binding 12 month contracts, rent increases, firm requests NOT ... read full review
What agent could do to change your mind?
Tenants should not be pushed into binding, no exit contracts.
All repairs should be dealt with promptly and respectfully.
Staff should be respectful.
The employer should do outmost to minimise staff turnover and for tenants to have a single staff member point of call.
Tenants should be allowed to put decorations on the wall. The only contract binding request should be that no damage is done to the property.

I rented properties in Brighton & Hove for 12 years and used about 10 different agencies. Cambridge Residential are by far the worst of the lot.
Don't be fooled by the charming sales patter or the nice offices. Once you have paid the massive admin fee and signed ... read full review

We reported a leak in our shower in April of this year when Ben, an agent came to visit us to give us notice to vacate our property after 4 months living there. I sent subsequent emails to ask them to help, but by the time my partner and I left the property at end of June, we had mushrooms on the kitchen roof, a bent roof beam and a consistent dripping of skanky shower water in to our kitchen. We are subsequently in dispute with a landlord over half our deposit on our property (which relates t ...

Disappointed at every step.
We were charged a ridiculous amount for admin fees and references (which we then had to chase ourselves as Cambridge did not respond to any calls, emails, or voice messages).
2 weeks into the tenancy we were contacted, by another agency, and ... read full review
What agent could do to change your mind?
Actually respond to complaints/problems, be honest in your dealings and try to understand that the prospect of having to move is not a pleasant one.

Let me start by saying I wish I'd read these reviews first! After just putting down near on 5000, the issues began!

UNDERHAND, SNEAKY AND RUDE!
