I arranged to view a property advertised on Alex Clark Lettings website this afternoon. The agent suggested meeting at 5:30pm outside the property and asked that should I change my mind, I should call to cancel. I agreed and left work a little earlier than normal in order to get there on time. I then proceeded to wait for twenty minutes, in the rain, for said agent to arrive - and to eventually give up and leave. I called the office twice whilst I was there in an attempt to get hold of someone that could let me know whether or not I was in the correct place, of had mistaken the date of the appointment. Both times I got the answer phone (assumingly due to it being out of hours a 5:30pm on a Friday.) So instead I emailed the office. Half an hour after sending the email I received a call from the same office I'd called twice whilst waiting at the property. It was the aforementioned estate agent apologising for his mess up - he'd forgotten the appointment! Needless to say I'm no longer interested in the property I wanted to view, and I won't be dealing with them in the future.

Absolutely horrendous! Would never recommend anyone to use this company as they are con artists! We lived at the property for 3.5 years and had a terrible start with them from the off, but finally Kirsty took over last year and she was fantastic (the only ...

I have had my small flat let out by Alex Clark for some years now, and the anxiety and stress that entwined itself in managing a property is relieved mostly through the professionalism displayed by the team at Alex Clark. They are prompt in notifying ...

Their attitude is so negative, I was received very sarcastic comments at every oppotunity when I telephoned to attempt to get someone in to fix something - like ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
I understand estate agents and property managers are busy - I am NOT an unreasonable person. With better customer service and just the word that something would be done about the issues I would have been happy - and obviously some sort of result. I think probably 2 out of about 10 things got resolved in the time I lived at the property. I actually put up with a lot before I started getting angry - the angrier I got, the more they punished me with terrible service - it was a total lack of care on their part, they didn't need to keep me happy. They simply do not care about their tennants.Attached Filesnbsp;

The boiler at the property in question had an annual inspection & as it hadn't been installed with sufficient access panels, was capped off resulting in no hot water or heating for the tenant. Kirsty dealt with the entire procedure, obtaining alternative quotes saving me money. ...

Horrendous service! I would massively advise against renting from this agency!
Initial service to get you into the property is great but sadly it's all downhill from then. I had a number of problems with the property that were ignored even after being chased numerous ...

Dear Mr Williams,
Thank you very much for your 5 star review and for being so honest in your experience with us. I would like to take this opportunity to advise you that we stopped using the referencing company you refer to in February 2013 as we too were very unhappy with them. We now use HMS referencing and we/ our clients receive an excellent service from them.

What agent could do to change your mind?
there is no form of constructive criticism I could give as I know they would never take it. My advise to Alex Clark is to give up in the lettings industry ....its obviously not your field of expertise. Hire people other than females as all they seem to do is natter all day and not actually get any work done. Respond to correspondence don't just pretend you have. Fix problems when they appear. when problems are to be fixed ...fix them properly.Attached Filesnbsp;
