I rented my property through William h brown Peterborough for one year. I took the fully mangers service at 13% of the rental.

Firstly be careful of what you are signing!

Make sure you put everything to them in writing as they do to you

I found them to be very aggressive and unreasonable to both myself and the tenant especially when it come to ending the tenancy.

Caused unnecessary conflict between myself
and the tenant.

I found myself constantly chasing them to do their jobs and were not easy to work with.

Did not complete jobs they were required to do in the tenancy agreement

They want your money quick to hold their hands out but don't want to do the work for it.

Have a habit of deducting money from your rent

Problems ending the tenancy demanding an extra 6 months management fees

I would not use them again
