They want over £700 for joint applicants (just two persons) as an agency fee to rent a house, allegedly for credit checks and 'right to rent' checks. I know from my business, credit checks cost £7 per person, and so-called right to rent is some very, very basic and quick to complete administration. An absolute rip off - they should be ashamed of themselves! They have to make a profit clearly, but their costs and margins are very healthy and covered by the fees they charge to landlords, never mind tenants fees. Avoid!

It is a shame that someone who hasn't used our service at all is allowed to submit what is NOT a review but a simple act of revenge. This prospective tenant wanted a £400 per month (26%) reduction in rent and when this was refused by the landlord this was the action they took. The fees quoted are incorrect for the purpose of making us look bad and included VAT. We have tried to engage with this person and see if we could find them something they could afford as we always would. We understand how tough it is out there and even though they didn't want to be credit checked we still tried to help. It is a shame that a hardworking company and really caring staff are slated in this way when a prospective tenant doesn't get their way. This is not a review its just a reaction by a tenant who didn't get what they wanted.

They are the worst agents we ever had the displeasure of dealing with! The property they rented out to us had mice, a damp problem, leaking roof & wasn't legally seperated from the property upstairs as no planning permission was obtained & no fire proffing was installed. ...
