This is the worse experience. The worst provider . Very poor service. Even after inspecting the flat, they haven't done any repairs yet. They don't care about people. All they care about is rent and increasing rent. The agent has inspected the house on the 19th December 2022. I have showed her the problem. She has taken pictures as evidence of the critical situation. I have showed all the evidence of our preventive measures to avoid condensation, mould and damp which are putting our health at risk and have already affected soft materials such as clothes, furniture. The agent has only sent an email with suggestions in terms of preventive measures rather than solving the problem I allowed a reasonable time for agent to do arrange repairs, but they have not done them yet. They are not dependable and not adding any value. They don't care about families or customers. I had to write many complaints to them as reminders. I had to write to the council to complaint. I'm planning to take them to the court because of the damages they are causing without any compensation. I have also experienced bad experience with them, for example, visiting the flat without permission. This is the worse provider in Bedford. I'm looking forward to move from this flat. I wouldn't recommend Jayne Beard Associates at all. Nightmare !

    Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
