Renter here: A&H made the process of finalising our lease incredibly difficult- multiple delayed responses to emails, being passed around about 4 different people in the office, little to no knowledge of the flat itself when showing us around (e.g. what council tax band ...

As a company they do seem to enjoy an over abundance of red tape ...

Agency fees are reasonable so it’s the only time I would give this mediocre agency a plus point

Comment on agent fees
Our only difficulty is with the billing/payment system. If is unclear, difficult to understand and they don't seem to be able to consolidate payments, (unlike other agents we use), which makes a lot of work for us and our accountant.

Very high fees. Over 1.4%! The worst thing is that they conceal the total costs by splitting fees and it was not made clear or transparent.
