Where to begin, viewed a flat that we loves instantly and put holding deposit down. Paid an additional £360 for referencing which we ended up chasing ourselves. Lots of minor things were missed in the inventory so I added them to it later but the lady would not sign it. I let it go. A few weeks in and I noticed problems, winter approaching and when it rained i came home to find a flooded kitchen. Somehow it got through the kitchen door. Reported straight away and waited but ended up shoving a towel down there. Light bulb was hanging down the ceiling and half of them didn't work and just blew up, washing machine plug had to be at a certain angle to work. Reported again about dodgy electrics, nothing done. Reported extreme lack of insulation through patio doors (like paper) and crack in the window in bedroom, nothing done. Started feelin a bit ill as was my partner and one day noticed our coats were literarily covers in green fluff, investigated further and found specs on photo frame, under the sofa and eventually giant mushroom spores behind the washing machine. I took pictures and emailed them over and over, after nine months and feeling dreadful we gave up and had to move. Agent was useless and said it's down to the landlord who actually blamed us for the mould but told us we knew it was damp when rented, who would rent a damp property for £825 a month and have throw everything they owned in the bin? D******d. Only got deposit back after threatening legal action. Do not rent 6A Bath street. Do not use Cambridge!

We reported a leak in our shower in April of this year when Ben, an agent came to visit us to give us notice to vacate our property after 4 months living there. I sent subsequent emails to ask them to help, but by the time my partner and I left the property at end of June, we had mushrooms on the kitchen roof, a bent roof beam and a consistent dripping of skanky shower water in to our kitchen. We are subsequently in dispute with a landlord over half our deposit on our property (which relates to specifically other false assertions unrelated). Cambridge Residential are in our opinion a bunch of crooks.

I wish I knew about this web site before I started looking for a place to rent. They seem to have lovely properties, but not worth the agro that is to follow. The contracts are exruciating - binding 12 month contracts, rent increases, firm requests NOT ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Tenants should not be pushed into binding, no exit contracts. All repairs should be dealt with promptly and respectfully. Staff should be respectful. The employer should do outmost to minimise staff turnover and for tenants to have a single staff member point of call. Tenants should be allowed to put decorations on the wall. The only contract binding request should be that no damage is done to the property.

I rented properties in Brighton & Hove for 12 years and used about 10 different agencies. Cambridge Residential are by far the worst of the lot. Don't be fooled by the charming sales patter or the nice offices. Once you have paid the massive admin fee and signed ...

Actually respond to complaints/problems, be honest in your dealings and try to understand that the prospect of having to move is not a pleasant one.

These people have NO idea! It is near impossible to get someone to fix an issue you have with your property, no one cares until you stop paying the rent. It is that simple, steer well clear!...
