If your thinking of renting a property i would go elsewhere. We rented a property for a 1 & 1/2 years, right from the start we had nothing but issues. The property was in a poor state of repair. Issues where raised via there report a repair service only to be fobbed off with poor excuses as to why repairs could not be carried out. Mr wheeldon was the landlord to our property and his only care was for his pockets to be lined with your cash. Steer clear and go with a more reputable company. I will NEVER use them again, infact they have been that bad i will never use a letting agency to rent again.

I agree with previous comment from another Landlord, all appears to be running smoothly from the initial starting point with Mark actually taking an interest but as soon as that part is done, from experience he appears to us to hide away from confrontation. Cracks ...
