I have rented two flats from Accord Lets over the last 2 years or so and I have been greatly impressed by the professional way they have helped me in renting both properties, answering all my questions and giving me peace of mind.

Terrible letting agent. New landlord bought the flat I'm in in Jewellery Quarter Birmingham, Accord instructed their agent Countrywide to slap me with a Section 13 to increase my rent by 17%, which they cannot do due to a clause in my contract, which they clearly haven't bothered reading.. and they're now "consulting with their legal team" to see "if the landlord can do this".. might they have consulted with their legal team before causing me all this stress??? They've absolutely set a new low s ...

What a mess, we are getting nothing but unhelpfulness, rudeness and stress from these people too, their default mode seems to be aggressive, angry overly difficult and dismissive.
The only agent there we've dealt with who is any good is Jaya, the rest we've dealt with just consistently make our lives more difficult.
I don't know how they stay in business, are landlords really happy with them?
Hope you got your money back okay in the end. ...

Sorry you feel this way Clive. Unfortunately you cancelled your original appointment at very short notice however we offered various appointment times to rebook including an early morning appointment all of which you declined. We will accommodate viewing times where we can and offer flexibility where possible even during the busiest periods. We cannot offer night time appointments as you were requesting as this is outside of our office hours and jeopodises the safety of our staff and interrupts ...
