Bathroom tap broke - they replaced it for a new one (and to be fair, it was done quickly), but left old hose and shower head and refused to provide the rest of the set. According to the property manager its perfectly fine to replace half of the bath tap set - as long as it works, aesthetics do not matter. I wonder if they will charge for half the set, too, and how happy with the new aesthetics will be the chap that will have the shower head fixed as a perfect mismatch to his bath set.
Fixing the bath side cover that contractor damaged during repairs is not planned so far it seems.

Generally getting any information about when the repairs will happen is an uphill struggle all the time - 'somebody will call/come, someday, bye'. And then wait a week, as staff seems to be part time only. I never get from them precise information as per who will come, when, and what is he going to do - and contractors seem to be similarly confused when they come around. Latest example - folks came, looked around, left. Maybe some day I will get some information about what will happen next...

I have been trying to get in touch with the manager - no chance to reach him by the phone, no answers to emails.

Comment on agent fees
They are taking 10% and I am chasing them up and visiting my own property to review maintenance issues. I have been billed for maintenance that Ocean agree are the tenant´s costs but as Ocean get my rental before I do, they just pay their maintenance contractors with my money and never take tenant to task saying it will be sorted at end of contract via deposit.

Do not rent with Ocean. The amount of hoops you have to jump through just to rent a property with these guys isn’t worth the hassle. The agency fees are ridiculous and the insurance you have to take out to ‘’protect’’ your deposit is inappropriate. Lived in the property a year now and have always had problems, plus the rent has gone up ! When raising a problem you get told one thing from one person and then another from someone else. You are constantly in contact with multiple employe ...

Comment on agent fees
Outrageous I was charged 500 pounds in relisting fees as I had to leave contract early due aggressive and anti social neighbours who lived in he flat above. They refused to not charge me due to no fault of my own and then stated they had nothing to do with the issue and it was up to the landlord. They promote this property and is on their books!

What agent could do to change your mind?
- Greater clarity and communication regarding where the process was at. - More polite and less pedantic staff. - Greater clarity over exactly when the holding fee would be returned to us. - Fewer viewings for properties with some minimal feedback if rejected.

What agent could do to change your mind?
in accordance to the complaints below (as previously communicated to them) they could respond to them! They need to listen to customer feedback and act on it. I've seen no improvement from them whatsoever and absolutely no care or concern about doing so. Their attitude is shocking and needs to change. We have received a consistently poor service from Ocean despite numerous complaints. - The extortionate agency fee is a joke - Their ability to draw up contracts correctly is highly questionable and slow - Whenever I report a problem with the property they are slow to respond; have little to no enthusiasm or sympathy to get it fixed and on the last occasion I had to spell out what had to be done "try calling the landlord so you can get a faster response than email" - it's not rocket science! - We had a change of tenancy which threw them completely - surely it isn't uncommon for one person to move out of a property and for another to stay whn it's a rental property? - Correspondence is consistantly sent to the wrong address, wrong person or wrong email address. - They don't keep us updated with any ongoing jobs so we're forever chasing information.
