Terrible experience with this agency, bad service and no support during tenancy. Ridiculous charges in the end of tenancy.
Dear Cobalt Blue, We are very sorry to hear that your experience with our agency was disappointing and that you felt you received terrible service and a lack of support during your tenancy. Your feedback is important to us, and we genuinely regret that we didn't meet your expectations. We always strive to provide excellent service and support to all our tenants, and we take all feedback seriously as it helps us identify areas for improvement. We understand your frustration regarding the charges at the end of your tenancy, and we want to assure you that our aim is always for these to be fair and transparent, reflecting the terms of your agreement and the condition of the property. We would appreciate the opportunity to discuss your specific concerns in more detail and understand what went wrong. Please contact me directly at ejack@winkworth.co.uk or call us at 01180 40222301 so we can properly address the issues you've raised. We're committed to finding a resolution. Sincerely, Emma Jack
