Making the decision to sell your home is not an easy one, especially when it is your first sale, based on this I wanted to ensure I got the best price, hence I had two estate agents working on the sale, but it soon became ...

Having reviewed all email correspondence during this tenancy I cannot find any reason for such a negative review. We gave correct notice for all visits to the property, recommended cleaners to you when asked and assisted you in returning a parcel you ahd delivered to the property after you had vacted. I understand you were digrunted at some of the deposit deductions at the end of the tenancy but it was explained at the time that the deductions were at the request of your landlord. We liaised wit ...

Unprofessional and petty. They did a house inspection (without masks!!) every 3 months. During the last inspection two people arrived without masks and were incredibly invasive during their inspection. Cupboards were looked in, they shook the garden fence violently to see if it would fall over. ...

The inspection took place after the date that masks were not required and upon arrival the agents asked if the tenant present minded if masks were not worn, the tenant said it was fine. The house was in a very poor condition and had a strong odour. No cupboards were opened and the agents conducted their inspection impartially, later sending the inspection report to the tenant by email.
When the tenancy ended, the 'Damage' done by cats and the tenants was excessive. This property was left in a ...

The repair being referred to was a garage roof. The leak was minor, causing staining but no other damage. The roofer had to prioritize more urgent works as as it was during a spell of bad weather. Communication with the tenant was polite and professional throughout and the leak was resolved. ...

Disappointing. Lovely people but almost useless service. Terrible communication, no weekly updates as promised, zero contact on sale day regarding keys, protocol, times, etc. Myself and agency handling our purchase actually sold the property as we knew the interested buyers. Approx £1000 charged for what? Dark ...

Its regrettable that you felt the need to post this review. My team advised me that they had a lot of difficulty contacting you and on reviewing the call record I can see that they did try on various occasions regarding feedback and particularly on completion day. We can only apologise for the breakdown in communication. With regards to price we are one of the most competitive in the market. The introduction of the lead came from our portal Rightmove and it was coincidence that the parties had m ...

Unfortunately, if a landlord cannot obtain a reference due to change of circumstances, we have no control, ultimately it is the landlords choice if they wish to continue a tenancy.
I believe the main reason for your complaint is regarding your notice period, albeit you have not made this clear in your review. All tenancies must serve notice as per the contract and this must be done in writing as per the terms of your signed agreement. To assume you had served notice on the strength of a phone ...

Ewan & Kelly,
Thank you for your reviews. Unfortunately it is very difficult to keep all parties happy in every situation. Inspections are part of the service we offer to your landlord and they are detailed in your tenancy agreement (you would have reviewed all terms prior to signing), as well as a duty of care to you we also have one to the landlord.
With regard to pet deposits this is also detailed in the contract and this was have been made available to you as well as a list of our fees o ...

Fees were expensive, as was mandatory carpet cleaning written into contract, as was the 'necessary' cleaning fees imposed after moving out, despite us hiring a cleaner recommended by Evenmore.

As a company, we welcome feedback, both positive and negative, as it provides us with an opportunity to improve our services and learn from experience. You have obviously felt the need to post negative feedback online, without picking up the phone or emailing us first. We haven’t been given the opportunity to discuss your issues or try to resolve them so I believe the way you in which you have expressed and publicised you concerns is very unfair.
