I just wanted to leave a review to say thank you to the staff of Castle Residential who have made the move in process for my daughter into her first flat run smoothly.
The team have been very efficient and were extremely polite and understanding when I called up with a list of questions (got to make sure my daughter will be ok)
Thank you again, now I have peace and quiet in my house.

I am a landlord and I am so happy to no longer be using Castle Residential. They do not inform you when problems arise and in fact, lie to neighbouring owners that you are not interested in dealing with issues that affect them.

Castle residential failed to take a full deposit from a tenant, but gave them the keys to my flat anyway.
Within 3 months of the tenancy, that tenant caused damage (that I paid for) and began late payments of rent.
