The swathe of negative feedback I’m reading on here chimes exactly with my own experience as someone who rents one of their properties. Needs -even if of a desperate nature , like severe black mould and leaks- are not attended to with any urgency if at all. Emails and phone calls (to Caroline) are not responded to. A contemptible company (in addition I note their stance on women not being allowed on the board) which I hope get their comeuppance one day. ...
