2.5 years of renting hell. Every single issue I reported was either address late of the very minimal of effort was made to rectify something. They make you feel like a second class citizen with their poor people communication skills. A garage up & over door that would be repaired BEFORE I moved in, took TWO YEARS to get fixed. Fencing at the back was needed when land behind was cleared leaving us fully exposed and insecure, they fitted a 2.5' picket fence! A joke or what? And honestly, when we moved in and lifted the toilet lid, my God, we practically threw up. I've seen dirty toilets in third world countries, but this was a million times worse. It was vial. DARK BROWN with signs of scale and excrement. BLACK MOULD was in the bathroom, supposed to be removed before I moved in as I have Asthma, it WASN'T. They risked my life. Fire alarms were in the house which did not work at all, they said it's not a requirement. That's as maybe, but if they're fitted then they should work. I replaced them at my own expense and got told off for putting one in the wrong place according to them, and they are NOT fire experts. It was in the right place to avoid false alarms from the bathroom vapour. I moved it to where they said and had to put up with false alarms. They never ever addresses the problem that the place was overrun INSIDE with slugs, slugs in the kitchen drawer, in the kitchen cupboards, do they care? Nope. They should be telling next tenants about this issue, I will for sure.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Another one that's charging a ‚£50 admin fee for handling return of a deposit. What the hell? Hidden charges, hidden as it's in amongst hundreds of t's and c's in very small print.Attached Filesnbsp;

I have been a landlord client of AB’s for over three years. Overall service standards are very good from the local and regional offices. Additionally, attention to all the details is an imperative for a lettings management service, and AB consistently delivers on this.

I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with the Tonbridge branch of Ashton Burkinshaw in late May 2020. Challenging times for everyone no-doubt with the coronavirus pandemic, but they really excelled at making a complicated move even more difficult.
From the very beginning, the attitude from ...

Be polite and professional. Stop lying. Follow through. Know the properties on their books, say it is a let only not managed before they take your money.Attached Filesnbsp;
