SPM are nothing but liars. My parents had our properties with them, nothing was ever repaired on time. Monthly rental amounts never credit on time, spoke to 2 tenants who told us SPM kept ignoring them. Needless to say my parents moved our properties away from SPM, Since moving to the new agents everything has been done as is and charged less than what SPM Charge owners. ...

Comment on agent fees
They make a big deal about not charging tenant fees. This is completely disingenuous, as it;s a legal requirement to not charge fees. SPM aren't doing you a favour or being kind, they have no say in the matter. No letting agents charge fees, not just SPM!
