As with all lettings agents, horrendous. Excessive amounts of money for (incorrect) email templates. My preference is to deal with a landlord directly. When letting agents manage the property, as well as the process, problems arise in my experience. A money making exercise minus the service.

Obviously we would advise the landlord otherwise if we thought they were setting unrealistic rent values. We pride ourselves on offering a professional and friendly service at all times.
