From day one Archer Bassett are more concerned with making money than anything else.
They have proven to be a terrible horrendous agency I would plead with all landlords in the area to avoid them.
They commonly will add fees and charges, lie about inspections, the tenants they found did a runner and they voided my rent guarantee quoting a vague T&C, and finally they still had the nerve to charge me from the deposit money the final months fee including the rent guarantee fees!!!!
My tenants removed all the ground floor fire doors and this was not picked up in the tenancy inspection.
Like i said they are expensive rip off agency that I really wish go bankrupt!

Absolutely disgusting service. If you are looking for a place don't go through this company. I enquired about an advertised property they said they had a lot of interest. I got completely turned of by the condescending tone, attitude, and response. I told them not ...

Wouldn’t rate these agents one star if that was an option. May issues with property reported promptly to them and either not actioned at all or after a very long period of time. One inspection was even forgotten about after me organising time off ...

If it is possible to leave 0 stars then I would.
This estate agent is horrendous.
We purchased a house through the Rugby branch and not only were communications extremely patchy but the staff are very rude and disinterested.
To give you an example I made ...

Would just like to say how helpful this estate agent was with renting a flat for my son.
I had a lot of concerns but Gavin was so good with us. Within 2 weeks of viewing the flat , my son had signed his tenancy agreement.
Many ...

I am reluctant to give even one star. The most awful agency I have ever used (and I have done two degrees so rented as a student through several agencies).
Made every effort to screw us with deposit to whack on their £60 admin charge. Inspections 3 ...

Whatever you do, do not go with Archer Bassett. They are absolute incompetent fools who are jumped up wannabe professionals who happen to own a suit.
We have had constant problems since renting a property with them which they consistently attempted to blame on us ...

Didn't show for a viewing. Their reason? The property had been taken off the Market.... but they didn't want to bother us by phoning ahead, instead they'd rather we spent 2 hours in the car going back and forth....
