I put my house on rent thru Frank Innes in 2008. They signed an agreement contract to rent my property, manage it, carry out regular checks and ensure the property would be well looked after. I was ensured I would find it as I left ...

Very similar experience. Initially asked FI to sell my property and they were hopeless, no viewings in a month. Got someone else in and immediate viewings. Then decided to rent with a small company called NEST. Personal service from their main guy Matt. All went well until about 2014 when he told me the 'good news' - FI had bought him out. I was perturbed and told him I hope they're not as bad at lets as they are at sales.
They're even worse. They don't care a hoot for the tenant or the prope ...

Awful service, no call back, broken promises. Late for appointments with no courtesy call to inform me. Poor communication, system failures that left me out of pocket. THE worst unorganised agents I have ever used! I am now switching agents to IMS....

Comment on agent fees
Fees taken for contract that was never written up. Left me with a rolling month contract that tenants took advantage of and left. Left me with empty property and no communication.

What agent could do to change your mind?
- process applications in time for tenants to move in. - Maintain any form of contact with customers. - Create better organisational structures to reduce the possibility of lost paperwork. - Implement a better computer system as "the E-mail server is down"/ "We;re undergoing IT maintenance" excuses get old, fast. - Have cases handled by a single employee from start to finish, to avoid miscommunications between staff members. Learn how to call customers, instead of repeated saying "We'll give you a call", but never actually picking up the phone.Attached Filesnbsp;

What agent could do to change your mind?
As soon as the property came up I rang but my call was not returned so I called again, "someone" will call me back. Wrong - each time (three before actually speaking to someone who felt able to take a booking enquiry). I then made an appointment to view and when I rang to confirm the appointment I had made they had no record...so I made another appointment even though I was dubious about the appalling service. It's a good job I rang to confirm the appointment the day before driving 60 miles to view the propoerty since it had been let days before. I cannot believe the total and absolute incompetence. I have sold and am looking for a property in a different county, not to be the butt of the branches jokes. It would be nice if these pople had some consideration. I will be looking to buy shortly and will avoid any Frank Innes and subsidiaries like the plague.Attached Filesnbsp;

If they want to be difficult - dont allow them access for viewings. They can't force you allow viewings as legally, you have the right of quiet enjoyment and contract overrides contract - so it doesnt matter what it says in the tenancy agreement - if they ignore your rights, they will be in breach of the Protection from Eviction Act - which is a criminal offence. Remember, NO ONE can enter your home without your EXPRESS consent. Just a thought. ...

AVOID AT ALL COST! The staff at the Derby branch of Frank innes are money grabbing, unreliable, unreasonable, dishonest and incompetent. Here are some of the reasons why this agency should be avoided;
-Communication no existent unless it benefits them.
-Losing ID documents e.g. ...
