Shockingly Incompetent, agents unable to make an appointment on time, no notice of landlord's representative entering your rented accommodation.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Improve communications with tenants. The majority of emails I send to Pauline Scott about maintenance are ignored, resulting in me having to follow up with a phone call. From that point on, I have no idea if my concern has been properly acknowledged because I'm not informed when a tradesman will be round to fix the issue, or how long it may be until someone is available to fix it. So I have to call it in again, and usually the person on the other end of the phone has no clue what issue I am even referring to, which makes me suspect that the complaint wasn't even being dealt with yet. This can result in things taking a week to be resolved. I understand that engineers and plumbers won't immediately be on hand to fix maintenance issues, but it can literally takes days before they appear without any warning. Often they have they their own key to access the flat (which is fine), but because I wasn't informed at all what was going on, the plumber for example can be in and out, without me knowing, and have not done anything. Which has happened multiple times in fact.Attached Filesnbsp;

Prior to instructing the contractor all maintenance issues are reported to the landlord . Our contractors found it impossible to get hold of you via phone to get an access to the flat. You also requested the work to be carried out in early mornings, late nights or weekends. Your poor cooperation made it hard for all parties concerned . ...
