Not a very good experience here i am afraid. I spoke with the branch at Dexters to view a property and left my details and arranged a viewing at 17:30 that same day. Once i got to the property no one turned up, so i called Dexters who said they had no record of the call or viewing booking. A lady came to meet me after 10 minutes and before she opened the door said, 'you do know this is only a short 2 month let don't you' to which i replied no. It does not say on their website or rightmove that it is a short let, and i told her this. 24 hours later it still does not say on their website that it is a short let.
Further to this it just so happens that she has 3 bunches of keys as funnily enough she can show me other properties which may be suitable just round the corner. funny that isn't it. I feel this is a ploy to get clients into the area to then show other properties to. I politely declined. I must add though that she was a polite lady and reacted quick to come and see me even though her colleague naffed the booking up.
Don't use these guys, i recommend trying somewhere else, yet another con company using dirty tactics to make money.

I found a flat through Jack Cooke.
We had some discords in communicating but he apologised his mistake and rectified all.
The work was clear and kind enough.
The fee is worthy enough. Thanks Jack!...
