Shockingly bad. Agent fees are extortionate (£700+), and staff have no problem making threatening phone calls. Refuses to break down agent fees (which is illegal). Check out google reviews for other negative experiences, including instances in which staff told prospective clients that their noisy children should be shot.

Notorious with other agents in Cardiff. Avoid at all costs.

More than triple the top end of national estimates.

I would like any person reading Paul's review to know that this is a complete fabrication of the truth. I was said tenant who allegedly caused 'severe damage' to the property. I lived at this property with Mr Alldred for a number of years and during our time there we improved the property which was run down and in desperate need of refurbishment. We decorated the property to a good standard and left the property fully cleaned and in good condition. There was no damage caused and upon an inspecti ...
