Same as the previous review. The people there totally inefficient. When we saw the property there were no White goods, was told new goods were ordered only to enter the property with old second hand dirty fridge and an oven fit for the bin. 5 minutes after signing the agreement and entering the property the agent denies saying anything new was promised. CHEAPOS. Made requests but were not carried out. No morals. Dont sign agreement unless totally satisfied with the condition of the house. Beware of your first visit, they promise you the world. Charge £285 admin fee for f***all. Stay away. Got to put up for the next six months. Will report to The Obudsman about this agency. Somebody should close them down.

Thats what i am saying man. This agent is not covered by Ombudsman for Lettings. You have nowhere to go since Ombudsman for lettings will deny looking into your case as this agent is not their member anymore. This has happened with me.

Best Letting Agent in Croydon 
Hi Shantya, thanks for your input although i dont recall what property you let via us??? Could this be the award winning agent down the road again!! i wonder..............you would think they have better things to do with their time like uploading superb reviews on their own company!!
