Drake Homes appears to have ceased trading - and no surprise. Suspicions were raised in September this year when telephone calls and e-mails went unanswered. Enquiries of other agents and Trading Standards revealed that Drake Homes had something of a reputation for misappropriation of deposits ...

Comment on agent fees
The fee structure can only be described as "interesting" with unadvertised cash payments being demanded from tenants. Not good.

Shocking agents. We privately rented with these cowboys for nearly 4 years until our landlord changed agents in september. Now it appears the deposit has vanished. So looking like we're out of pocket. In the hands of the police now. Have heard endless stories of others ...

It is a wonder that this 'company' has been functioning for so long.
Awful unprofessional attitude while things are going okay, as soon as a problem occurs a seemingly regimented system of lying and denial occurs.
False promises and total ignorance of the law. They ...

After having been given the benefit of the doubt, and before signing the tenancy agreement.
Our solicitor suggested additional clauses to clear up the legal ambiguity in the document.
these were refused by drake homes, even after being given the opportunity to edit them to ...

I have lived in Drake's property, and they have proven extremely unreliable on so many accounts. They turn up without any notice, threaten tenants with pictures, and ask for extra payments, when legally proven not required. Utterly disappointing.
This is the opinion of not just ...
