Do you like being conned? Do you enjoy being extorted? Do you love losing hundreds of pounds? Then look no further, this is the place for you! Ironically they call themselves “Professional†Properties. They couldn't be more unprofessional if they tried. The staff such as Jodie Downey are rude, unprofessional and lack major customer service skills. The Managers and Directors such as Jane Mason and Lucy Sproat clearly have had no Management/Customer Service Training whatsoever. They try and talk down to you and according to them, nothing is their fault and everything is YOUR fault. Beware Tenants and also Landlords because these are people who are only after one thing, and that is to get as much money for themselves as possible. They let you believe that you have the property and then do everything they can to sabotage the tenancy, making your life a stressful nightmare. Stay far away from these waste of spaces.
Comment on agent fees
Extortionate. It’s all to fill their own pockets and the fees do not match the quality of service you get at all.

I rented two houses consecutively for myself and my three young children from 2018 to 2021, both with Professional Properties (PP).
It was difficult from the outset to organise routine maintenance, including a mouse problem, which I had to sort out myself.
When the landlords wanted to ...

Don't even consider this company! For a letting agent with the word professional in their title, they're anything but. They are rude, they have lied and failed to respond to over twenty emails, phone calls and text messages. They couldn't even organise a contract and ...

To all potential future tenants.
Beware of this letting agency keeps money from deposit for ''damages'' that already exist in the house. They say from day one that they are aware of this for example a rusty oven, mould on the walls etc and in ...

As a tenant, they were easy to deal with, and easy to contact whenever I needed help. Our house is lovely and the process made me feel protected and secure. Organising a viewing was simple and the staff couldn't have been nicer or friendlier. Where ...

Worst Letting Agents ever. Never reply to anything you email them and they deliberately ignore you in order to avoid providing you with a viewing. Totally unethical business....
