I Instructed Marsh and Parsons around the 22nd of December 2011 and by the 11th of January 2012 they had a cash buyer and a price agreed. The sale there on was rather complicated due to the freeholders and my neighbours share in the freehold not to ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
There is a short time frame for Marsh and Parsons to redeem themselves and show they are capable of dealing with situations professionally. In this case for the Manager to actually visit the property, less than a mile from the office, The office to take responsibility for their inactions and actions, To advise constructively on the next stages and how to proceed, To suggest solutions and worst case scenarios, To remember the landlord is the client and is paying your wages not the tenant.

Firstly, thank you ‘polite note’ for putting the record straight! Secondly, ‘disgruntled landlord’ I’m obviously very disappointed to read your review. At Marsh & Parsons, we take formal complaints extremely seriously – so naturally, I would like to get to the bottom of how this has happened. Finally, just for your reference, the members of staff you mentioned, left our company some five years ago. Please feel free to contact me on prollings@marshan ...

Dear Andrew, I have read your comment with interest and spoken to both the Notting Hill office and the Lettings Director to find out more details. I am very surprised to find out they have not received a formal complaint from you – in spite of your obvious unhappiness? Our complaints procedure, as outlined in our terms & conditions, invites all our clients to contact the relevant branch manager. Should the matter remained unresolved, you should write to the Lettings Director, Patri ...
