Absolutely useless! I used the Bishopston Branch of CJ Hole to let my property in 2009 and have regretted it ever since. The staff were extremely rude to the point of being laughable, unprofessional and unable to follow simple instructions or understand the contents of a simple letter. Communication was non-existent and I felt I was banging my head against a brick wall the whole time my property was registered with them. Phone calls and emails were never returned or replied to and I ended up with an enormous repair bill for my newly refurbished flat which was badly damaged by tenants taken on by CJ Hole. Never again!

To begin with, we had no issues. We put our offer forward for renting a house and we got accepted. The referencing process was lengthy but everything came back clean.
Then, one week before moving in, and just before receiving the contract to sign, the ...
