Don't go near this company. Bottom league services, slow to reply, and whoever they have on their books to do any electrical work for them is a cowboy and crook. Have spent hundreds of pounds fixing mistakes by this company.

As a landlord with several properties I strongly recommend you avoid this agency. Inadequate background checks on tenants, rented our property to a cannabis gang, didn’t tell us and then re-let without a tenancy agreement in place. Property trashed, monies not passed across, arrogant ...

As a property owner with several flats, spark and sons always go above and beyond to make sure my properties are fully occupied and always on the other end of the phone should I have an questions or queries. Highly recommend this agency....

From a landlord's point of view, steer well clear of this business. Communication is awful, emails go unanswered, rent is not passed across unless you chase, tenants not vetted thoroughly... I could go on and on, absolutely dreadful agency....
