Awful experience trying to rent a property with this incompetent money grabbing company. Manager does not respond regarding complaint. Refusal to give my holding fee back when it's their fault it went over the time scale because incompetent staff are unable to read emails and not give updates. ... Read Full Review

What agent could do to change your mind?

At least to show some respect and transparancy, If let was agreed about a property, state so, if not interested in a particular customer to mention the reason. If they are too busy to accomodate another customer, please say so. And over all, please do not take over good properties to just make them stagnant in the market, this is just unfair for everyone.

I have never felt the need to write a review about anything until dealing with this company. Experience was so poor and stressful I feel I must share. Acquire were fine as letting agents as long as you wanted absolutely nothing from them. Maintenance issues were reported over and over again with a ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

- Communication between agents - Answer emails and return phonecalls - Follow up on maintenance problems - Give warnings for flat checks - Not charge such extortionate fees - Return deposits promptly - Learn how to speak to clients politely. Would much prefer honesty to hostility and allegations if something has gone wrong.

This agent treated us despicable as tenants, and speaking as a tenant their property management is not worth the money that they "*" extract from the "*" landlords. I had to take this agent to court for where they were issued with a CCJ for unlawfully withholding my deposit. ... Read Full Review


What agent could do to change your mind?

By giving my deposit back on time, carry out property maintenance when told about a problem, some people just shouldn\'t be working in the public sector. Extremely poor customer service.

We were first told we would have to pay X amount for application fee, the deposit was £100 more than the rent and we would also have to pay 1 months rent up front, this came to around £1300 which...

They allowed one of our properties to fall into disrepair despite the tenants constantly advising them of the problems such that it cost us twice as much to fix than it would have if we had known of the issues immediately. As a result we have had to lower the rent to keep the tenants. Over 6 months ... Read Full Review
