At first my view of them was average, but a tad on the negative side. Having completed my inventory check and mentioned certain things that were wrong, they made no effort to rectify them. I assume this is simply for them to compare when I ...

Don't know who it was who showed me around the properties, but she could not have been less interested. Treated with complete indifference. The woman could not have cared less, no eye contact, no feedback. Pretty dismissive of me as a customer altogether..

Jessica belongs to the school of estate agents who believe their own lies.
Do not attempt to buy anything from this estate agency as judging by the actions of this young lady they are totally dishonourable. We wasted time in providing proof of funds just ...

Hi Zana
Thank you for your comments. I am most disappointed to hear you were not successful in buying the property. When we are dealing with other offers we try to be as fair as possible and offer you the chance to come back with your very best offer. As you withdrew from the process the seller went with the other party. We act in the vendors best interests and this was the way they wished for this to be handled.
If you wish to discuss this further please feel free to contact our offi ...

Kamlesh - good for you if you find Jessica honest and open however you have no idea of what took place. It is commendable that somebody who lives in NW1 (which I believe is in London) has such close contact with a Leicester Estate Agent and springs to her defence!!! For your information this was not a case of "sour grapes" as Jessica spoke with the vendor and our offer was ACCEPTED - based on a sum that the Vendor was willing to accept and was HIGHER than our original offer. I backed out when ...

Comment on agent fees
If a company charges a management fee in the rent then it should be obliged to manage the property or to remove the fee and stop misleading landlords and tenants alike.

Thank you for your comments. We do value feedback and would like to take this opportunity to discuss any concerns you may have with our office directly. It is always disappointing when there are several buyers offering on the same property and of course there is going to be disappointment for those who are not successful, however we do try to conduct the process in a fair way to minimise this. We apologise for any concerns over the viewing itself if this was raised with our office directly we ...
