Avoid at all costs. They do max 10 overall pictures of the room when checking in and when checking out around 200 of every old and new scratch there is claiming youve damaged the property.

The agents need to think about their staffing and their customer service, which they rate themselves as excellent!

please can you contact the office as we have no record of you or any dealings with us. if you have a genuine issue im sure we can resolve very easily as our customer service is at award winning level for a reason.( right move best agents 2021 awards ) I expect this is a continuation of the last 2 one star which we have established is form one person upset that the deposit protection service correctly assessed that the damage they did to our landlords property was unacceptable and judged accordingly. i have offered to send anyone that asks or is in doubt copies of the inventory and check out independent reports so they can see we have been totally above board and transparent. we pride our selves in looking after our landlords portfolios while offering tenants safe and secure quiet enjoyment. it is so upsetting when you move mountains in a very difficult environment for all parties that you have these fake reviews put up either by other agents or the very few bad tenants that slip through the strict referencing procedure. I'm glad in this case the landlord took our advice and is fully covered for any loses. We are happy to be scrutinised by any prospective tenant or landlord wishing to benefit from the best service available in town.
