I have been flat seeking in Sheffield for a couple of weeks.
Blundells are basically impossible to avoid across flat hunting sites and they have multiple policies that seem to be designed to manipulate possible tennants into accepting properties sight unseen.
Of the 5 flats I've enquired about, each time I have been told that in-person viewings weren't possible.
When I finally gave in to FOMO and called to request a property based only on a video, I was suddenly told that viewings had been booked that day and that I hadn't been contacted due to a substantial waiting list.
Each over the phone contact I've had has been unfriendly bordering on passive aggressive.
After giving permission to be contacted about other properties they seem to be hand picked from exceptionally small flats at the same price range as the ones I originally enquired about- that's just part of the business, but it's insulting after trying to engage in good faith.
Incredibly negative experiences with this company at a very stressful time.

Blundells have managed our property for over 8 years. Absolute joke. Would have been more beneficial to sort it out ourselves. The house is an absolute disgrace and it is going to cost us at least a couple of thousand pounds to put it right. If ...
