We came for a short term 1 year assignment to bournemouth from India, We were badly looking for the house on the first week of arrival itself. House and Sons staff shown us 3 houses on the same day and helped us to find a good house in the main location.They also helped us to move to the house within the next 3 days. They were very helpful.
During the one year, we haven't had any issue.
We would gladly recommend house and sons !!.

Please be very careful when you let with this company! Take loads of pictures and videos when you first move in, even for the smallest of stains, scuff marks etc. You will need them!

Rented a property through H and S and although I have no problem with the actual process, all went smoothly, Ryan Poole asked for a £200 holding deposit which he advised would be deducted off when we paid all of the costs in renting the flat.

I would rate this company zero if that was an option (one star is far too generous!). Over the past 12 year as I have bought two flats in separate blocks which were coincidentally already Managed by House & Son. I have experienced the worst customer service, ...

Yes I completely agree.. am currently in the middle of a dire mess with Glenda Jackson who is meant to be a SENIOR property manager but has made a catalogue of errors over our roof repairs and amassed thousands of pounds in unnecessary fees with their besties Bennington Green and all totally unnecessarily as all that was required was some remedial roof repairs!!! Complaints procedure to be started! Utterly irresponsible company! Steer clear! ...

If I could give this company a zero I would. The worst block management company ever. Little or no communication. Aggressive attitude towards board members. They have no heart or soul in their work. Unprofessional, untrustworthy, unaccountable and 100% unreliable. DO NOT USE for block management. ...

Our experiences with House & Son have been consistently positive over the past six years, both when we have rented our our flat to others and when we have lived in the flat ourselves. We are also impressed with the overall management of the building....

If I could give this company 0 stars I would. Absolutely diabolical experience when viewing a property and throughout booking journey. Two of the RUDEST women I have EVER spoken to, I still can't quite get over their lack of customer service.

Good afternoon, Thank you for your detailed comments regarding your tenancy with House and Son. I have looked through your comments and know the case well, having visited you to inspect the property. The first point to deal with would be the fact that you say there wasn't a check in conducted but then you also say " After moving in, we sent in our updated version of the inventory stating all the issues, signed and dated by both myself and my partner which it was later revealed that House and Son ...

Wow. What a terrible experience we had with this company when checking out!
We lived in the apartment for almost 4 years. We repeatedly complained about damp and mould issues in the flat. Instead of doing anything about it, they sent a regular instructor who blamed ...

Comment on agent fees
Charged me for check in and out fees one of which was £90 which was not carried out properly as they said something was missing which was in one of the cupboards and considering there was only about 10 in the whole property being a small one bedroom flat I find it very appalling.

Hi Connor, thank you for your review. You were given the email address of the lettings manager, myself and I responded to you via email and agreed to waive the cleaning costs for you as a gesture of goodwill. I also explained that the cost of the salad draw would be higher as we had to pay a contractor to source the item and fit it, so there is always going to be a higher cost involved, although we have kept this cost to a minimum. You emailed me back and agreed to this fact and agreed with us ...
