Ascend was founded on the belief that estate agents could do a lot better. We'd been working in the industry for a long time and were frustrated that most agencies were just so ordinary. Like their houses, these places were in need of a new lick of paint. Bit of rising damp in the basement too. So we decided to build our own home. A team of quick thinkers and good listeners also did a rare thing: treat customers like people instead of transactions. Because they knew great service wasn't just about experience and expertise. We had one philosophy: to keep the promises we made.
Then we opened the doors.

Welcome to Ascend. We're built on higher standards.

We are sorry that we were unable to help you find a Landlord who would accept your tenancy, it was certainly not for want of trying. As you are aware, we did make every endeavor to make this work and we kept in communication throughout the process. Your application fees have been fully refunded and once again, we wish you every happiness for the future. As it is the landlord that makes the final decision on the applicant, not the agent, we disagree with your comments about cutting out the agent ...

I have looked into your comments and note that your review was written after receiving the checkout inspection but before the deductions were confirmed. Ascend act as agent only and any deductions are proposed on behalf of the landlord, we agree with the landlord that the property wasn’t handed back as you received it and d ...

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.
