White and Sons are appalling to deal with and we have been better off as a group of residents dealing with matters ourselves for any maintenance work that requires doing so much. They charge extortionate fees for very little work and are exploitative in nature. ...

We are fully aware of your unfortunate situation and have attempted to resolve matters with our trusted trade professionals. Unfortunately, this issue is exacerbated as we do not manage your shop, nor the building. As explained, we are unable to provide you with the Landlord’s details as this would be in breach of GDPR, although we are happy to pass on any correspondence from you.
We understand you have been in contact with our Senior Partner and every effort will be made to facilitate ...

We are obviously disappointed to read your comments and would like to take this opportunity to once again apologise for the miscommunication between our Dorking and Reigate offices. We misunderstood your initial requirements, but once made clear, we did explain that we couldn’t help with your request and offered an alternative option. We hope you managed to find a suitable solution and that your purchase has proceeded well. Really sorry we were unable to help you. ...

We are very sorry to hear that your experience with White & Sons has not met your expectations. As discussed on the telephone, your landlord had instructed White & Sons on an introductory basis only, whereby we act as an intermediary and are therefore not responsible for key holding, check in or check out services – this is all arranged and agreed between Landlord and Tenant. Our deposits are held in conjunction with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme and cannot be released until both landlord a ...
