We are still in an ongoing issue, up to day 26 where we have had no hot water / no working boiler. AB and their management company have allowed this to continue and I have had to chase every single day (clearly that still is not enough). This is not the first time. We are leaving our house not because we do not like the house or location, but because we are tired of there being serious issues that are left unresolved for weeks on end. Two other examples include no hob for 3 weeks and no bath for a month (we only have the one!). Their lack of consideration and care for us as tenants is astounding. The fact they are not proactive when serious issues arise is extremely unprofessional. A very disappointing experience indeed and I would not rent through them again to avoid this kind of treatment.

I have been a landlord client of AB’s for over three years. Overall service standards are very good from the local and regional offices. Additionally, attention to all the details is an imperative for a lettings management service, and AB consistently delivers on this.

My experiences have been five star from start and through my continuing lease. Charlotte is on top of her game and beyond responsive. I would recommend to anyone should the chance arrive.

I’ve had the misfortune of dealing with the Tonbridge branch of Ashton Burkinshaw in late May 2020. Challenging times for everyone no-doubt with the coronavirus pandemic, but they really excelled at making a complicated move even more difficult.
From the very beginning, the attitude from ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Another one that's charging a ‚£50 admin fee for handling return of a deposit. What the hell? Hidden charges, hidden as it's in amongst hundreds of t's and c's in very small print.Attached Filesnbsp;

Be polite and professional. Stop lying. Follow through. Know the properties on their books, say it is a let only not managed before they take your money.Attached Filesnbsp;
