Staff are fully aware of where their wages come from in all agencies. I think the fact that you are using one staff member as an example for a whole company is a bit ridiculous and you should consider that maybe that one person is just not good at their job. I have used multiple agencies in the newcastle are and have had instances where problems have arisen due to one member of staff and yet the agencies themselves are excellent. I have been a tenant of Pat Robson twice and recieved excellent cu ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
This agent attempted to quite literally cheat us out of our deposit money at the end of the tenancy with them. They withheld almost ‚£250 for damages that had not been sustained during our tenancy and damages that we had tried to get them to fix when we moved in. Presumably, as we were students (a group they commonly deal with) they were assuming that we would be too lazy to claim the money back from them. After the lengthy dispute resolution process that Pat Robson insist you use if they do decide to keep your deposit for any reason, we won ‚£250 back. The agent repeatedly tried to block and hinder the dispute resolution process that they had requested we use, at one point even lying about how the online form worked in an attempt to get us to click on the button that would have us accept all charges and have all the disputed money paid to the agent. It was a blatant attempt to unjustly extract money from us and the agent was completely unprofessional, dishonest and idiotic in dealing with the dispute. I know others who have had similar problems with Pat Robson of seemingly unfair charges being incurred at the end of student tenancies, the general view being that they feel students are easy targets for this kind of abuse. Would not recommend any students renting with this company.Attached Filesnbsp;

Actually care about what their customers need. The customer is always right...right? Wrong, they would never accept this principle. They should turn up when they said they will and give a full 24hours notice every time. Oh yeah, and they should stop being so patronising. And rude. Just because we're renting from you doesn't mean you're better than us,Attached Filesnbsp;

I'd advise anyone to avoid this agency at all costs. They've left me homeless without even a days notice!
I took a property from them with a month until my move in date, all of the paperwork was done and signed. TWO HOURS before I was scheduled to move in I had a phone call saying the current tenants hadn't handed in their keys. A few hours later I was told that the current tenants had a contract for another 2 months. They'd wanted an early release, but PR hadn't formed any written contract t ...
