We were with this agent for a year and in this time have not been particularly impressed with the service.
When we moved in, the apartment was filthy, particulary the oven which needed industrial strength cleaning twice! when there were problems and repairs were needed, such as when the french doors leaked everytime it rained, they needed constant chasing. The staff were friendly but in no way efficient.
Not Impressed.

Better care taken of the properties that they are suppose to be looking after and better communication.Attached Filesnbsp;

Obviously no business or company is perfect but I have to say my husband and I are MOST impressed with The Letting Co, especially with Louise. She has never once made us feel bad for enquiring, ringing and emailing to ask questions about the property ...

The Letting Co deserve nothing lower than 5 stars. We have been a tenant for a number of years now and although we have mostly dealt with Louise (who is excellent), we have received a quality and friendly service from the entire team.

Good morning,
Thank you for your review - I'm sorry to hear you feel you haven't received the best service possible. We strive on fantastic customer service and would hate for any of our tenants/landlords to think otherwise.
Unfortunately without further details I am unable to assist you with your concerns. Please can you provide your name/address or contact our office on 0845 838 2890 to discuss this further?
Kind regards,
Louise Rock

I'm sorry but that is completely false. We have been in touch with the other letting agency who have informed us that the property has been let through yourselves. We arranged a viewing for the property through them on thursday evening as at that point they were unaware that a let has been agreed. We were then told by the other agency on Friday morning that a let had been agreed through yourselves. A professional agency would allow all parties that have booked to view a property to actually view ...

Hello again Jodie,
I have tried calling you and your next of kin since 29/12/2014 but have had no joy. I have emailed you too and hand delivered a note into your letterbox as you were not home when I called over earlier in the week - please can you urgently call us as soon as possible on 0845 838 2890? Both mobiles numbers for you are out of use.
Thanks,
Louise. ...

Thank you for your comments. As you are aware, you were in breach of your tenancy agreement on several points, which I will happily discuss with you or if you feel the need to as you mentioned, in court. We are here to act in the interest of the landlord, which we did. With regards to handing the keys back, the only reason we couldn't meet you was because you wanted us to be there 8am Sunday morning which we couldn't do. You could have given the keys back to your landlord who lives next door, bu ...
