What agent could do to change your mind?
Absolute joke when trying to discuss an inexplicable charge on my deposit. Rang up 5 days in a row and the 'person who deals with deposits' was always either out of office or on the other line. It was a simple task of looking up what they have charged me for and the dispute can be resolved. Shocking customer service and organisations skills!!! Think twice before going with these.......

This person was so rude to our staff and expected a repair to be carried out on thier heating in a time scale that was not possible due to parts need ordering. We have had feedback that our plumbing company was not carrying out repairs as quickly & efficiently as they could so we have stopped using them and have found a company that can respond more quickly. We do find some tenants think they have left a property clean, when in reality they have not. We carry out detailed inventories to ensure ...

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

We are registered with the Property Ombudsman redress system. But more important, you can call the Director Eduardo Prato directly on his mobile, day or night, if at any point you're not completely satisfied with our service.
