Truly untrustworthy and shady - it’s this kind of company that give estate agents a bad name.
We had so many issues - they accepted our original offer and then increased the rent a few weeks later. They messed up our moving date causing ...

Have been a landlord with this company for over 10 years. It has steadly gone downhill since Chris left circa 2016.
Have taken back properties. Unhappy tenants, authorised repairs not carried out. No annual checks. Rude and unresponsive staff. AVOID at all costs....
