I called and offered to take a flat the very day it was advertised.
Nick Sage (Harrow, Lettings) told me I'd be the first to view it. Chased him and was told to "be patient like the rest of them". Called a week later and the flat had gone, he had not even called me for a viewing. During the first call he asked me how much I earned, I actually TOLD him the gross amount. He then asked for post-tax and I said I was not sure and he actually said to me "you don't know how much you earn?" after I already gave him gross figures. The CHEEK of it. **
The call whereby I found out this bad news was answered by Sarah Smith (Harrow, Tenancy Manager) who got instantly defensive upon realizing they had balls'd it all up, spoke over me and had a disgusting* attitude. At first she said she could not confirm whether the flat had been let, I asked why and asked if she did not have access. Her response was then that she finished at 5pm (this was about 4.55pm) - I then said OK I will let you go and suddenly she changed her mind and went to her desk and checked. Spent half the call being told to shout (literally) because their phones are terrible.This woman was absolutely horrendous and foul mouthed.
Spoke to Steven Gosling, Lettings Manager. Profusely apologised - the only person in that office with any competence. However put the icing on the cake by asking me what my requirements were anyway (in case he could stitch me up with something else via. themselves).
Disgusting company I would not rent a shed from these jokers.
Comment on agent fees
Horrendous considering the service provided.

Firstly, we would like to apologise that your experience of our Lettings department is not that of a positive nature. We take complaints very seriously and will look into the nature of your comments.
As you can see, the bulk of our reviews are positive and this is the first negative review we have received where Nick Sage and Sarah Smith have been named. As a company, we pride ourselves on our personal approach to customer service. Rawlinson Gold is ranked #1 Estate Agent in Harrow and each office has won gold awards via allagents.co.uk, for the best estate agent for customer service in their respective areas. These achievements have not only been recognised as a company but also on an individual staff basis.
We can see that the derogatory terms you have used to describe our staff have been censored by allagents.co.uk, due to the offensive language used. However having seen these prior to censoring, we would ask that you do not refer to our staff members in the terms that you have used as this causes great offence.
We are not in a position to comment on the actual circumstances of your experience as you have referred to yourself as ‘Customer1984' and we have not been made aware of your complaint directly. We therefore cannot discuss any further on this open forum.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact one of our partners on 020 8861 2020 for Harrow and 020 8866 2300 for Pinner.
