Christina has managed my property for over a year and I was delighted by her service. She was always prompt to take action, ensured all work at the property was good value for money and tried to always be fair and reasonable when there was disagreement between me and the tenants.
I am sure the next person managing the property will be equally capable but I wish Sequence didn't change the property coordinators around quite so often.

Our chain has been going for nearly four months and is on the verge of collapsing because of this office's incompetence and unprofessionalism.
They don't return any phone calls, they don't chase and there is no sense of urgency.
They are the worst estate agency ...

What an absolute disgrace, lacking in common sense, urgency, brains, morals, decency and customer service. Currently many thousands of pounds down due to outright lies.
