Absolutely awful. I'd put more trust into *.
Marsh and Parsons are incompetent and lazy. After our terrible experience, I'd highly recommend avoiding them at all costs, unless you're desperate then in which case, stay desperate.
We moved into our rented flat in august 2021. We were assured all checks had been carried out and the flat had been professionally cleaned.
On move in day we were disgusted to find the property had not been cleaned at all, let alone professionally cleaned like we had been promised. When I say dirty, I'm not just talking about about bit of dust, we were horrified to find the previous tenants hair covered across the carpet, a terrible smell of BO, dirt and mould on the windows (not something we had noticed when viewing the property) and stained and extremely dirty carpets which had been covered by rugs when we viewed the property. To top things off, we were lucky enough to discover two mouse skeletons on the kitchen floor, not what I had in mind for a moving in gift.
To add to our frustrations, the oven didn't work, the wardrobe and chest of drawers collapsed upon being opened, kitchen tap was leaking and toilet seat had fallen off, not the end of the world but annoying.
We called Marsh & Parsons straight away and explained that the flat was extremely dirty. After multiple phone calls and emails, the penny finally dropped and Marsh and Parsons decided to send out a cleaner, this only took them two weeks. Nevertheless, problem solved we thought! Low and behold, the cleaner arrived and they had been told by Marsh & Parsons the property was empty and a deep clean was required. This of course was not the case as we had our stuff in boxes. The cleaner refused the job as they couldn't conduct a deep clean. Once again, Marsh and Parsons had spread false news.
I should probably mention at this point that our landlord pays them a fee to manage the property and quite frankly, I don't know what for, they are incapable.
We eventually settled in and we resulted in dealing with our landlord directly, who was lovely and very keen to sort everything out for us. Again, no idea why Marsh & Parsons get paid to manage the property when the landlord has done everything themselves.
Anyway, I'd like to say things got better but they didn't. We had concerns about holes in the floorboards and wall in the living room, as well as holes in the wall in the kitchen. This was something we addressed with Marsh and Parsons when moving in but shock, nothing was done about it. In October I heard a rustling sound in the living room and I was quite certain it was a mouse. Fast forward a week later as I strolled into the kitchen to make dinner and there I see a mouse running across the kitchen worktop. We bought traps to catch them but unfortunately did not succeed. Our landlord sent out pest control who identified the holes in the wall and shared the report with Marsh & Parsons. They have now sent someone out twice to fill the holes, both times using people that have refused to fill the holes sufficiently and have instead filled the holes with steel wool with no coating. I've had a mouse run across my foot in the kitchen and have spotted mice run across the kitchen worktop more times than I can remember.
It's now Feb 2022, we still have the mice and still no holes filled.
It was a week day when we received a ring at the door. Marsh and Parsons had only gone and bought us a candle. I get the feeling they felt embarrassed or perhaps guilty? It was a beautiful Marsh and Parsons branded candle, forever reminding us when we're trying to relax in the evening that we cannot escape these cretins. I'd like to say it's the thought that counts but in reality, I'd be much more satisfied if they just got on and did the job they're paid to do, wishful thinking.
Oh, and how can I forget the damp and mould issue in my housemate's bedroom. This was discovered back in October. There's significant damp and mould under the window and across the wall. The landlord bought a dehumidifier and we've been waiting for 3 months for Marsh and Parsons to get someone out to deal with this issue. My housemate has asthma and works full time from home so this really is not ideal. Of course, I don't expect Marsh and Parsons to solve this issue because they don't solve anything or respond to emails.
At this point, I truly believe my 5 year old nephew could get the job done quicker.
