I lived for 8 years at the above property. I did it up with heart n soul and expected to live there forever. When circumstances changed and I decided to rent it I was deeply concerned about finding the right tenant for what was essentially an artist's house, the size of a dolls house, with a few idiosyncrasies balanced by expensive fittings,and I felt I that needed a person who lived lightly on the earth and would care and enjoy my little piece of preciousness inside the city walls in York. Damian and Roxanne were very understanding, and they got a perfect tenant for my house. Unfortunately she had to leave early and Damian was very fair to both her, as tenant, and me, as landlady, about her need for a break in the contract. He got a resolution that was acceptable to both of us, and that balance of being able to keep both parties happy is a mark of his professionalism. Roxanne and Damian dealt with all bills, name changes on bills, payments etc with exemplary efficiently. They get a very high recommendation from me - whether you be a landlord/landlady or a tenant.
Comment on agent fees
Very fair, especially as they had to work 'beyond the call of duty' as I was overseas when the property was rented. They literally did everything.
