Testimonial
On a friend's recommendation, I invested in a brand new buy-to-let property in Stoke. As I am abroad for much of the time, I needed an agent I could trust with a full management package. I duly selected a letting agent, but was frustrated when, after three months, a tenant had not been found. I phoned Cameron at Goodchilds and duly transferred the marketing of the property with them. You can imagine my astonishment when he phoned the following day to advise me that a tenant had been found. This set the tone for all my dealings with Rob and Cameron. They are professional, extremely knowledgeable regarding tenant/landlord legislation and, very importantly, keep me fully informed of any issues and the action required. They liaised with the builders on my behalf when there was a major problem at the property and ensured that this was dealt with. I recently visited the house as the tenants had moved out, and Rob, at very short notice, offered to meet me at the house. Needless to say, a new tenant was found almost immediately. To use the old cliche, nothing is too much trouble for them. I have worked with several letting agents in the past, and Goodchilds is definitely up there with the very best.

First you pay the hefty fee and though the agency promised to perform house check every month, you'll never see them as long as that direct debit is always on the exact day you said it would be. Is something broken in the house, don't ...

Hi Mr Hill,
I'm sorry if you feel that way about it. The landlord has informed us that she will be providing a dishwasher and rectifying the shower ASAP. The one shower has now been repaired and the landlord is now awaiting a response from her plumber for the cost of the En-Suite shower to fix.
My response was not 'whats wrong you have a bath' as you have wrongly stated. I have looked in my sent items and I asked 'what about the bath' asking if the bath is working. This is completely diff ...
