Terrible experience with this useless agency. Galliard must be one of the most dodgy agencies in London - it's certainly the worst I've ever dealt with. Staff have an extremely poor attitude, and only care about getting your money. Be prepared to be ignored for a long time if you have any maintenance issues to report, and don't be surprised if they let themselves into your flat without asking for permission first. Even their contractors have lost all respect for them.

Dear Clive

Thank you for your comments dated 29 February 2012. We understand that on this occasion you have had a disappointing experience with Galliard Residential and for this we sincerely apologise. Please be assured that we take all feedback seriously as this not only helps us to continually improve our services but also ensures that our valued customers are experiencing the very best level of service which they deserve.

Your comments are not in line with the usual high standards of customer service we strive to achieve and as such Galliard would like to investigate this further. Unfortunately the content of your review does not identify the individual case and we would therefore be very grateful if you could email further details to [email protected] so that we are able to do all we can to resolve your concerns appropriately.

We look forward to hearing from you soon and do hope we are able to restore your faith in the service we customarily provide.

Once again thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback

Yours sincerely

Galliard Residential Customer Relations

Comment on agent fees
I thought the charge for the 'card fee' (over ‚£20) was unecessary. An admin fee was already charged (which I understand), but I don't think an addiotional card fee can be justified when this is the only option for payment.

What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent could've been upfront about all this additional items. We were told that they "gave" us the inventory report which was a lie. I requested them for it TWICE specifying that it was for my planning to buy additional material and not to review the sad state of the sofas or any other furniture! They never advised us to go through it. It was a complete shock to me when we moved in, after we signed the contract. After that, all they said was that nothing can be taken out, since it was in the contract. When space is such a premium, it was ridiculous to have chipped plates, wobbly furniture lying around. Extremely unhelpful.
