Avoid Accord if you can!!! Renting with this agent was my worst rental experience ever and customer service throughout the rental process as well as during the move out is very poor/non-existent. It was a promising start with a good service provided up until the point we've signed tenancy agreement. After that point, customer service becomes absolutely horrible and it has taken them months to come back to us on maintenance queries multiple times. It is close to impossible to reach the property management team over the phone and the electronic maintenance request system does not work in practice as you will not get a response until you chase them multiple times over the phone. It has now been over a month since we moved out of the property and it took us a considerable effort to even get a response from the agency regarding the release of our deposit. We still haven't got the deposit repaid without any proper explanation from the agent. Accord's service throughout the check-out process was again very poor as the team responsible for sorting out deposit repayment never responds despite multiple chasing emails. Also, as if the above was not enough, the staff were rude with us on multiple occasions, when we were chasing maintenance requests or trying to clarify what the check-out process is. I have rented from other agents in the city centre before and my experience was very positive unlike with Accord.

Have you had your deposit back yet? We are having exactly the same issues. Poor/ non existence correspondence, unreasonable fees and a deposit which hasn't been returned yet.
