If I could leave no stars I would. Absolutely shocking customer. Extremely rude and incompetent staff who ignore most emails and deter any phone calls with “we’re WFH” and throw out jargon to try and confuse you when you ask a valid question that could lead to them having to actually do their jobs. Lazy lazy LAZY!

The Most Fradulent company I have ever seen. The agency is not efficient in getting good rent for your flats. They don't even market your flats for tenants. My flat was vacant for three months last year because of their inefficiency. And also they have reduced our rent during the last year when all other flats in the same area are increasing. The most frustrating thing is that they don't even bother to respond yo the emails or calls of owners. The director Alex is a big cheat. He took our rent ...
