Samantha has dealt with our enquiries promptly and efficiently, therefore creating a good relationship with our tenants. Samantha has been helpful and professional at all times. When we have been on holiday she has dealt with situations on our behalf to which we are grateful.. We would like to thank Samantha for all her hard work in making our experience as landlords as stress free as possible.

My tenancy agreement stipulates that the deposit will be handled according to the rules of the TDS. These rules stipulate that any uncontested proportion of the deposit will be returned within 10 days. This hasn't happened and you are therefore in breach of contract. I have now raised a dispute to obtain the deposit you are concluding in attempting to steal ...

Dear Mr Ullah, Thank you for your kind comments at the start of your review. Having looked through your application documents I am surprised to see you were unhappy with the book out fee and deposit registration fee. You signed the application form which contains all the information about tenants charges. You even signed specifically next to the point where it states these 2 charges. The application form was filled out right at the beginning of the application stage- over 2 weeks prior to you ...
