Thank you for your review Mr Kwok. I understand that you are not the tenant of this property and are therefore not residing there but have submitted this review on behalf of the tenants who do live in the property. When the issue with the heating not working was first reported to your property manager, she located the instruction manual for you and provided you with a copy. You asked for help with the meter and she advised you to contact the utility provider directly but also did this for yo ...

We respond to between 100 and 150 enquiries per week during this time of year, and respond to multiple requests each week for video viewings. With the reviewer choosing not to make contact,it is impossible to identify her/him. I apologise if my previous response did not refer to the correct case, but I am unable to go further without direct contact from the reviewer. I apologise that we were unable to provide an acceptable service on this occasion. ...

Unhelpful and arrogant correspondence with Robert, which was at best unprofessional and at worst incredibly rude. He was unbelievably slow at organising a tenant contract swap, which resulted in requesting money from both former and new tenant. Also, repairs to our property have not been ...

For the amount of inconveniences the agents have caused us we should have been reimbursed any fees aver paid out to them. This never happened.

Firstly we are very sorry to hear that you have not been satisfied with our service. We understand that before you moved in to the property, a mould issue was highlighted which needed to be addressed and quite rightly so therefore we ensured that this was made part of the agreement between you and the landlord and a professional clean carried out before you moved in. It only became evident after numerous attempts to rectify the issue that there were underlying causes that required repairs to ...
