Nightmarish experience - faulty appliances, withheld deposit for no reason, frequent viewings, refused access to power meter - would recommend staying away.
Boiler, microwave, oven, dishwasher were not working when we moved in - took several months to resolve.
Tried to schedule about 15 viewings during ...

Oh dear Gurmot. Seemed to have touched a nerve haven’t I? Well judging by all of the negative reviews on Google as well as here, it seems I’m not the only one that was had over by your so called company.
Your extremely defensive responses to any negative review clearly shows the person you are. You have no compassion and when my friend and I were tenants we found you and most of your staff rude and arrogant. I watched several times staff ignore phone calls when I visited your office. I h ...

Hi, I’m one of the other tenants living in this house too. Can I just firstly add we never got given the option to move in a day later, only to move in later in the afternoon. Secondly, I thought I’d update you on how your staff failed to tell me my guarantor failed until 2 months before move in date when the application was sent off months prior to this. My other housemate was infact told her guarantor failed too, so had to pay the upfront cost, to then find out once we moved in there was a ...

Hi Daniel, I'm sorry that you have not had a smooth move in. I don't understand what has gone wrong as all of our properties have all mains connected and should be a case of just turning a boiler/tank on. As i don't know your full name i'm assuming that you have taken on a MANAGED property and not a LET ONLY property. If a gas safety is required then you would of already had an electronic copy from our referencing platform, which is easy is enough for you to obtain.
In terms of ringing the o ...

Hi
Thanks for your comments.
You have mentioned the leak which occurred over Christmas and the offices were closed. It is common practice to check with the apartment above to see if they are leaking. This was a management issue and not related to our property and landlord.
Other than this you haven't come back to us with any issues and you chose to leave and actually without informing us of any concerns. In relation to the dishwasher, apologies this was an error but clearly if it was essen ...

Dear Pasquale,

nThank you for your review, which we note all the issues you claim to have raised.

We have always been very accommodating with your requests and any repairs have been that you have raised had been addressed within an appropriat ...
