A badly run estate agency offering a very poor service!
They list properties on the website without the consent of the owners. When you call up to ask about the property that was listed that same day it is mysterious not available anymore! This happened to 3 properties I inquired about!
I have heard horror stories about people not having their deposit's protected probably and not getting your deposit's returned. This is illegal.
AVOID this agency as there are plenty of other better ones in camden!!!

What agent could do to change your mind?
- advertise only current available properties, as you only waste peoples time and it is poor service not to keep your site and adverts up to dateAttached Filesnbsp;

Dear DXTIER,
Thank you for your feedback , unfortunatly your name is not one we can locate on our system.
However reading the contents of your feedback we can only come to think of one issue which we had with a previous tenant who has been leaving numerous reviews throughout the entire tenancy.
Please note that all deposits are registered and your are given that Certifificate at the start of the tenancy , any disputes with the deposit is then taken up with the Deposit Scheme if both Land ...

Thank you for notifying us with concern. In regards to the deposit which was placed with one of our property. The applicant had placed the deposit and had not put offer in writing which is clearly stated in email for us to put forward, we were unable to hold the deposit any longer, i attempted to call and message applicant several times but failed to receive the offer. Not being able to hold deposit any longer we released the deposit soon as we received the account details, We remained to have c ...

Dear SandwichStreet 78,
It is a shame that despite all our help and assistance you have given us such a poor review.
In regards to the floorplan, although it clearly states it is for illustration purposes, the alternative measurements you provided was carried out by you and not a professional hence we could not use it. You were also checked in to the property where you inspected it and exclaimed how happy you were with the apartment.
There was no advertising material stating the property ...

Best Letting Agent in WC1H 
Agents cannot advertise properties without the consent of the landlord. You are more than welcome to come into our office and request to see signed documentation by landlords authorising Allen Goldstein to market their properties.
We advise you to register your interests of renting with agents as that way you would be the first to know about new properties. Often properties can take upto 24 hrs to appear on external web portals, by that time properties can get rented as it is a very fast paced market.
Allen Goldstein do not hold on to tenant deposits, it is transferred over to the landlord once the tenants take possession of the property. We advise landlords that by law they need to register all deposits in one of four government backed scheme.
