Dear William Taylor I don’t believe my review was unjust in any way. The first property was in fact 'substandard'. Upon awareness of this was certainly not when you executed the tenancy. We were only told about the flooding after we had spent a while in your office after paying our first month’s rent and after handing us the keys. We were told about the issue and that an attempt had been made to fix the problem but nothing could be done and we would just not be able to use our ...

I am sorry you feel the experience have been awful. I would really like to have an opportunity to discuss the matter directly with yourself but unfortunately we do not know which tenancy this review relates to. However, we do want to answer the points raised in the review as we think some of them are quite unfair and / or factually incorrect (our answers are based on our standard practices applying across our agency): 1) The £ 1,150 money you have paid would have been first month rent, depos ...

Simply put they could have been honest about the deductions - itemizing what they are taking off any why. Instead of just saying well you can lodge a complaint with the TDS they could have looked in to what the problem was. I have left with a feeling of distrust

I can deinately agree with that. Rude aggresive and sarcastic. I got my keys the same day i had to move in due to their inability to have the contract ready. The house was filthy sticky and smelly. The washing machine was not working, the windows need to bechanged as the rain and the wind is coming through. It said that the house was furnished and then they said it was a mistake-after i signed in . They did not reply to my e-mails either and tey got me a wrong and old leetr box key and they had ...
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.
