I rented a property of derwentside estates in feb 2011 i signed a six month short term contract
I decided to put my notice in the property in november due to derwentside estates not fixing the repairs which were necessary after the enviromental health came out and insprecte it after months of trying with them since feb 2011 when i moved in. I moved out of the property early december i was told by bill i would receive my bond back in ten days. To find out by somebody else that he had shut the buisness down and was not taking calls or wanting to deal with any of it no more . Bill now owes me 400 pound bond money which he put in writing seen as there was no work or dammage to the property and signed it when i handed in the keys to the property. I can now not get in touch with bill or no body about this due to his ridiculouse scandals
i would not recoment no body to go in to business with bill or family as he is a very poor agent!
I am disgusted in the lack of cummunication and setvice from him and his employees.
never again! Greedy and money grabbing!

He’s already left the agents in Swindon! Maybe they finally saw his true colour?
From a little bit of research can see he is now working at a small family run agents in Cirencester. Won’t be naming names but is a small town so won’t be hard to find him! All I can say (and I’m sure you will all agree) is good luck to them working with a horrible bully like Bill! ...

Hi
I'd be interested as well if anyone has an address for Mr Burn. We are begining small claims proceedings against him, also it appears that Derwentside Estates was not a Ltd company. If he was trading as a 'sole trader' then we believe he ...

Mr Burn has been the area manager for Allen & Harris based in Swindon for about three years. He lives just outside Swindon and seems to operate in much the same way now as he did in 2012 as Derwentside.
Anyone wishing to contact him simply ring the branch and ask for him. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
It is not rocket science to collect rent, deduct a %age and pass on the remainder promptlly to a landlord! I am considering calling police as he has stolen my money!Attached Filesnbsp;
