Very pleased with the service RMA provided and continue to provide for me, I have been a tenant in various properties for the last 12 years and have dealt with lots of company's but RMA really outshone from my first viewing. All the staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I am pleased to have them as a management company, I love that they are a family run local business, and the like the personal touch you get with the service they provide.
I moved in nearly five months ago, on viewing the property initially it had been badly neglected by the previous tenants, before I moved in RMA had the place fully redecorated for me to a very high standard and sent in deep cleaners to freshen the place up. Consequently I have been able to make it feel like home quickly, I really am happy there.
As a single woman it is also important for me to feel safe in the property and supported if anything goes wrong. After I initially moved in RMA sent a handyman and plumber around to sort out some basic maintenance issues, both professionals were lovely reliable and trustworthy, the handyman especially was superb and he is directly linked with RMA. They fitted a new lock to the outside gate for me so I could feel safer, laid new roof matting to avoid water pooling and fixed various bits and pieces in the house.
I really feel lucky to have found them, any issue I have is dealt with promptly and professionally. They also benefit from the extensive knowledge and qualifications of Mr Mitham's Daughter Selina who has a very useful background in law I believe, she is a true asset, and I feel very happy my contract is being managed by someone with that level of experience. All staff really are lovely and even stop in the street for a chat if we bump into one another.
A really lovely bunch I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Comment on agent fees
Fees were very fair, they also offer a free service that sets you up with all the utilities and council etc, making moving in a very smooth process.

Don't rent from him
The property we rented from him was in a terrible state.
We were advised after 11 years of renting one of his properties that we would not be out of pocket.
We added secondary double glazing, a new bathroom and loads more ...

We are sorry you feel this way, however we have tried to discuss the issues with yourselves many times. We advised on several occasions that the property was not suitable for yourselves for reasons you are aware of. We were not informed about the issue with the soak away until shortly before you moved out.
Painting is not the same as cleaning and we have photos of the property from when you moved out in February. You chose to carry out works on the property yourselves and to leave the goods in ...

RDawkins, we are sorry to hear that you feel you did not have a good experience with ourselves. It would, of course, be more helpful to ourselves if you could have discussed these points directly with us. You were allowed to go periodic as you refused to sign another fixed term and we have, therefore, been left with a property vacant during one of the worst times of the year, something we always try to avoid to protect our landlord's interests. The (one) occasion when access was gained was to co ...

For the owner (John Richard Mitham) to remain out of the day to day business and allow his staff to run the company. Also for the company to use the referencing company how it should be used. They are not authorised to hold client data ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Be more friendly. Sue the office manager is very friendly and seems to be put on by the owner. He is very vague on the phone and quoted "we only select tenants that we want". Which when paying ‚£425 of referencing fees, leaves you feeling fairly uncomfortable. Not an agent that I would deal with. Stick with the agents that are signed up to the relevant associations that protect tenants. These cowboys don't appear to be.Attached Filesnbsp;

We work very hard in our office to ensure that both landlords and tenants receive a good service. We have been established in Petersfield for over 26 years and are lucky enough to have many long-term landlords and tenants. We are members of The Property Ombudsman and are trained bi-annually to ensure we are always up to date with the law and what is happening within the industry. It is always a shame to read negative comments and we would appreciate it if you could be in touch directly with our ...

I would like to thank Richard Mitcham in Petersfield for the amazing personal service I received from your branch. Professional staff assisted in finding us the best property suited to our needs. It is so nice to deal with a company who returns calls and emails in a fast efficient manner. Julie was helpful throughout our tenancy. So many agencies are happy to take your money and then are not interested in the tenant after that. Julie guided us through the process, assisting us all the way. Well done team!
