I originally bought my flat from Trading Places in 2006 and they were very easy to deal with. For the past few years I have rented my flat through Trading Places and they really have gone above and beyond. I have a difficult neighbour and they have been great in helping me to deal with this as well as dealing with repairs, etc. over the years. Nothing is to much trouble and have taken the stress of renting a property away from me countless times. Special thanks to Kevin and Gary.

Dear Ted, i'm sorry you feel this way. It can be very difficult when a tenant wants to break from their tenancy earlies than the contracted term allows, and even more so when there is a deposit dispute between tenant and landlord. As the agent we aim to help resolve such matters, but ultimately there is little we can do when a stalemate situation arises. As an agent, we did not charge you any fees and the rent you paid was as contracted, to your landlord, so I feel your comments are unfair. I am ...
