I contacted Andrew Huntley at Haslams in Reading to request advise on specific letting issues. The request was of an urgent nature - and I was very impressed with the response from Andrew, who was:
1. Professional in approach.
2. Knowledgeable about the issues identified.
3. Provided options, in terms of approach and next steps.
4. Timely in email response, and followed up with a telephone call to confirm that every angle had been covered
5. Thinking out of the box to confirm the route to the proposed solution..
6. Polite, Courteous and customer focused..
I would recommend Andrew and Haslams, based on recent experience - Excellent!

I would suggest not to deal with HASLAMS at all, they are the most unprofessional people, They dont care for anything, they will never communicate with tenants, even for one single problem to be resolved major or minor , it will take 3 weeks.

We wanted you to react when we were in the property. Now we don't care about what you have to say. Nobody is reimbursing us the money we lost because of you, or the hard time you gave us with your lack of profesionalism. You could have done things right when it was the time to do so, now there is no come back. ...

1. Any complaint whether verbal or in writing should be recorded by our member of staff handling the matter
at the time it is made.
2. We will agree to deal with any representative you might like to appoint on your behalf
3. We will attempt to resolve the matter positively with you in the first instance and record the outcome. The

4. A written complaint will be acknowledged in writing (or by email) no later than 3 working days after it has been received. This would normally be done by a member of the senior management team who hasn't been directly

outcome within 15 working days.
5. If you remain dissatisfied you may put your complaint in writing to our Managing Director Steve Woodford. He will then carry out a separate review and a report of his conclusion will be sent to you within 15 working days.
That letter will also point out that if you remain dissatisfied that you can refer the matter to the Property Ombudsman (matters relating to Sales) or ARLA (matters relating to Lettings) and that such referral must be made within
6 months of that letter being sent.
