Do not ever use AllenGoldstein! I had my doubts about them before as my friend had also rented a property from them. She found that the toilet didn't work and it took them 2 weeks of incompetent attempts to arrange for a plumber to fix it.

I felt that maybe this was just a one off so I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. How wrong I was. Their staff are possibly the rudest I have ever encountered and even mocked me when I called to ask about the problems in our flat. I'd emailed their maintenance team about these problems and, despite saying on their website that they would respond within 48 hours, heard nothing from them in 5 days!
The incompetence and unprofessionalism of the staff just shocks me and I want to warn any prospective clients not to go near them with a barge pole.
What agent could do to change your mind?

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.
