This awful man who was "director" of lettings was abysmally rude and gave me absolutely NO insight into what my property may be worth as I was buying to let.
Gary Smith was lovely however, in the sales office at The Mall.
I've heard a lot of horrible rumors about the Thamesview takeover, and having dealt with RSK prior to Thamesview, I can now say that I fully agree and believe in these rumors. What a shame, such a lovely company losing their reputation like this.
Will NEVER use this agent again (Sorry Gary).

Dreadful estate agents. Prey on elderly sellers with investors trying to drive down the price. Become nasty when they don’t get their way.
Refuse to return keys. Am taking legal action.
They allowed investors to bring builders and architects without our permission....

Hello,
Any chance you are renting the flat 1 in W5 5PE. They are charging us for professional cleaning on this flat but they didn't clean when we moved in. I wouldn't be surprise as we have about the same experience. An advise, re-check your check in report many times as if you don't notice a crack they will charge you for it at the check out. Complete scam! ...
