It took 10 days from when I placed my property with Fulfords for them to upload the details onto their own and other websites. After persistent chasing I was told this was due to computer 'uploading problems' and that it was only with my property, not with others. They do not use newspaper advertising so I lost the only way of promoting the property other than word of mouth. They did then find me tenants, but the tenants backed out before references had been taken up. The property had been taken off the websites (did not appear as let agreed) as soon as I accepted the tenants, despite the fact that they had not by then be confirmed as suitable. It then took a further 10 days to get the details up onto the web again - same computer problems apparently. Had they not learnt from the first time? To ad insult to injury it then appeared with the rental amount increased by £5, but chaged from per month to per quarter! What a bargain for someone! While one mistake could have been finger problems, surely not two at the same time? Come on.
At that stage, having suffered considerable financial loss by not getting anywhere near finding tenants for a month, I withdrew the property from them.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Could have kept more on top of the problem - it appeared to go for several days at the beginning before I allerted them to the problem. Then keeping me informed of progress more.Attached Filesnbsp;

A great experience from start to finish. My situation was far from straight forward but Ashley and his team made it stress free and gave me back my credibility at the same time, thanks guys....

Do not ever use this company! It's been nearly 2 months since we've left the property and still haven't received our deposit back. We have been lied to constantly saying it has been returned and to wait for it to go in the bank. Shockingly it ...

Your comments have been some what blown out of proportion. We as a company do not control the deposit it is protected by a government approved scheme and therefore must be held until both landlord and tenant agree upon it's release. There is normally a very good reason why the deposit is held and i don't feel your comments are fair or accurate. ...

This company are truly awful. I'm pretty sure that the deposits are not backed and hence they are trading fraudulently. Everyone I know without exception who have used this branch have never received there deposits back. There is always some excuse or phantom reason that ...

Your comments couldn't be further from the truth. As a company we must have both landlord and tenant in agreement before a deposit can be processed. Property management were doing their jobs albeit not to your liking. An important note is that all monies are held in my deposits, this is the law! ...
