Horrible service. We rented a flat because of good location and always thought agents are replace-able. It looked good so we took it but the service over the entire two year period was simply horrible.
- Everything late by months
- Never fixed issues
- Walk into flat without permission
- Blaming a colleague or previous administration and policies or third parties. No one ever says I will personally look into this issue and will get it resolved.
- Always ready to create more and more paperwork rather than fixing the issue
- Washing machine fixed after months
- Seepage doesnt get fixed after months
By far the worst professional organization I have ever encountered and I have seen worst having lived/worked in the third world for a while.

What agent could do to change your mind?
After two year experience really nothing the agent can do to change my mind. Dont go for Square Mile. They are apathetic paperwork creaters who complete disregard to your comfort. They want to create papers, invoices, meetings rather than actually fixing the issue. You can send them as many emails, photos, issues etc, they have only one objective - Billing. How to create maximum revenue from tenant and landlord. Billing is their only objective.Attached Filesnbsp;

Hi Louise,
Boy you must have a difficult job. Look at these reviews!
Unfortunately, as I now have gone with another agency, I no longer need to spend time going through such issues by phone with Square Mile.
It is the unfortunate characteristic of your type of business. It is the agents at the front that give the picture of your business. Customers will just go elsewhere if that picture is not customer focused from the off.
Customer services complaints would only be useful to curren ...
