This is the worst Managing agent I have ever dealt with. we were paying over 800 per week for a 2 bed flat,
after heavy rain in Jan we had very bad water damage in the property, continuous efforts to get the damage repaired fell on deaf ears - ( it was black and mouldy all over the wall_.. After 7 months the damage was finally repaired a week later we were advised that the rent would be increasing by 3% we refused, and 2 weeks later they gave us notice.
Originally when we put an offer on the flat the agent was very helpful, but once you move in and you start dealing with the management team. the service is terrible. I dont even believe they check anything you ask them to check with the landlord. withing 5 minutes the answer to your request is no, or they just say they are checking it then never get back to you.
This is the worst managing agent I have ever dealt with in 10 years of renting in london. they are 100% after getting there managment fee and it is in there interest for you to move out every year.
getting our deposit has been a nightmear, and even senior people in there office do not seem to care.
Never again.

What agent could do to change your mind?
if the agent had been fair and honest & also repaired the property in a reasonible timeframe and agreed to not increase the rent when the property did not warrent an increase, and also spoke politely and not been constantly argumentative, then we would have been alot happier.Attached Filesnbsp;

We were renting a flat and stayed on it for over 5 years.
I found in general this agency and at least in particular some of the personnel at the New King's Road inefficient, unprofessional and unethical.
In short, they will always find excuses to push ...

Not recommendable. D&G will overestimate your property to get your custom, once you have signed the Agreement, communication is very poor. They don't answer telephone calls, and reply to emails occasionally. They give you the impression they don't know anything about your property, they ...

Hi, I have read your comment and I have had the same experience. They presented 4 fake invoices in order to do a claim in our deposit. I could double checked that the invoices had been counterfeited and I reported the case to the police, but would be good to contact if you had the same experience in order to submit your case too the police. Contact me please if that is the case. ...

I bought a small studio apartment in Chelsea via D and G. On each of the 2 viewings the agent was very casual and uninterested, once leaving us standing in the lobby of the flat which we were viewing to take a phone call which lasted 5 ...
