In 1990 we opened our first office in the growing new town of Hatfield, in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield. Firmly establishing ourselves in the busy market place location and growing our reputation as a leading agent within the town, it wasn’t long before we were looking for new premises to expand within the Hertfordshire area. Just two years later we celebrated the opening of our second office in Stevenage, positioned on the main high street of the historic old town and directly opposite the beautiful Holy Trinity Church. This enabled us to offer our services to a vast catchment area including Knebworth and the surrounding desirable Hertfordshire villages, one which also linked well with the existing Hatfield office.

It does correlate if you were being honest! Yes you offered me another viewing and then immediately withdrew that when i called both yourself and sarah out for being dishonest and point blank lying to me! Your professionalism is lacking beyond words! This complaint involves you therefore you should let another director handle it that would have been the professional way ....... ...

Thank you for your comments. I would like to address the comment regarding a rent increase. I did say to you that having reviewed your account regarding the heating situation, i noted that you are due a rent increase which was discussed before covid already and therefore by no means was this a threat but confirmation of a previous conversation.
With regards the heating you were not without hot water as you had a functioning immersion heater ( confirmed by our independent contractor ) throug ...

I am sorry to hear you were unhappy the way you have been dealt with.
Every property we rent out we insure the rent for our clients, and the insurance company have very specific criteria on income.
If you put down a holding deposit, and then we carry out the credit check and you do not meet the income criteria you will lose your deposit.
Her intention was not to be patronising but to avoid you losing money, by informing you that based on your income you would need to look for something cheap ...

I am sorry to hear of your issues regarding what can only be described as a very difficulty period we have all gone through.
Property inspections were halted during COVID to avoid spreading this dreadful disease and have only recommenced recently ( and in some cases tenants still prefer us not to enter unless 100% necessary )
With regards to the refund of your deposit, our role is represent the Landlord who instructs us to act on their behalf, and we base any deductions on the comparison of ...

Unprofessional, rude, illegal, deceptive, and incompetent. If you are considering renting PLEASE PLEASE save yourselves the hassle, grief, humiliation, frustration, and criminal living conditions. Even with council intervention they persist in their unacceptable business practices. PLEASE consider absolutely ANY other estate agents....
