i rented a bedsit for my daughter which was managed by Cherelle. Unfortunately she did not make this a very pleasant experience. Cherelle does not like replying to emails or communicating much at all. Any problem that i had including not hot water would on average take around 10 days to respond to. When my daughter moved in the doors had fallen off the fridge freezer which took 10 days to replace with two separate unsightly, dirty, old units. The mould on the bathroom ceiling was never dealt with. I could not find out for weeks which parking space was ours resulting in other residents getting angry for parking in the wrong place. The hot water tank was leaking constant hot water resulting in having to turn the water off. Still no response from her so no hot water for 10 days. My daughter left the property over three months ago and i still have not received my deposit. She has tried to charge me for a removal of something but will not say what so has since dropped that claim but now i am being charged for what seems to be a standard clean for the next resident to move in although nothing was damaged, no carpet, curtains or upholstery, no stairs i still have to pay for the clean. They re probably using my money to have the mould cleaned for the next tennant! Still trying to get my money back and no communication from her at all. Called the office to complain but the person i spoke to was not really interested! She said my money will be in this week but not really bothered about any of the issues raised.

I didn’t end up renting through Streets Ahead, however, I couldn’t fault Gareth.
Great communication skills, very personable and a pleasure to speak to.
He wasn’t your ‘typical pushy sales agent’ which was refreshing.
Definitely a credit to his team!...

Absolute joke of an agent. Failed to pass on tenants deposit for me to register, ended up getting them to do and its been done LATE.
Had to chase them for landlords statement for first months rent.
2nd payment is now a week late and no word from them as to why or where it is, I have had to chase them. Would avoid like the plague. ...
