Hi Simon, We are currently in the process of trying to get a property through howsy, (I am a tenant) and they are proving awful. The referencing service etc has been a sham, tenancy was meant to start today and the house is not ready apparently. I do have the landlords name, do you think it is worth us reaching out to him directly? to try and divert around this? As we are all ready to go and it is just getting to the point where we might end up without a house at this rate. Just not sure how ...

Zeus International Ltd, is nothing to do with Howsy other than we stupidly tried to work with them for repair and compliance jobs. Howsy still owe Zeus money for jobs completed for them, where on their website does it refer to our name as managing their properties? Also Zeus International Ltd is registered under company number 13125111 and is not dissolved. Thank you ...

Oh you're very misinformed. Being a tenant in hell with howsy, I can't even behind to tell you how difficult it's been to even get something fixed or a contractor out. I even entered the property and didn't have a functioning toilet! No one knows what their are doing there. They are sound like the same robots!
