The worst estate agency I’ve ever used

The worst estate agency I’ve ever had the displeasure of living under. They barely cleaned the house before we moved in (which they had promised to do), and had even used pictures to hide black mould. Furthermore, we had lots of maintenance issues early on that we had to learn to live with (for half a year) because, despite repeated reminders, they conveniently continually forgot to send people to fix the issues. Some issues they still haven’t resolved. The final nail in the coffin though is that when paying rent, they initially gave us references which were too long to enter: when we asked for real references, and used what they provided, they accused us all of failing to use the correct reference. In future rent payments, we tried everything possible to make sure we got the right reference, but it was never good enough for them. The last time, they insisted that because our references were “wrong” that we send them an additional rent payment, and threatened to escalate the situation, when they already had ALL of the money. Either they are the epitome of incompetent and disorganised, or they are a bunch of lazy liars.

Our experience with selling our house…

Our experience with selling our house and buying our new home, through the stoke office was great. Chris Noone was always on hand for help and advise, if he couldn't answer the phone at the time, he always returned our call. His knowledge and the service he provided was second to none and made a stressful time so much easier. We will definitely be calling Chris again when we are ready to sell in the near future. Highly recommended, thank you so much. William Boat and Debbie Russell

Amazing service, I worked with Katie Broderick whilst renting my first place and she was nothing but helpful through the whole process. She was polite, professional, efficient and made the process so easy. I also spoke to another agent on the phone who again was efficient and helpful. Would definitely recommend!!!

Dan Strains commitment to our success…

Dan Strains commitment to our success was evident. He and his team went above and beyond my expectations. Dan made the sale of both properties enjoyable, I appreciated his honest feedback when things weren't going smoothly, his authentic approach built a strong trust and we got to the finishing point with a successful sale.

Our details were passed on to Chris regarding our mortgage after our previous mortgage advisor left. Chris was very helpful, informative and answered any questions we had in a timely manner, making the whole process as hassle free as possible. I would definitely recommend Chris to other people.

SCAMMERS

SCAMMERS broke 3 laws deceiving us into signing 2 utlity contracts , gaslight and threaten on emails, when you call them out on the scam replies suddenely stop and they say contact landlord? What . Landlord ignores every thing . If your landlord shelley just be aware shes some sort of ghost or in the twilight zone, does she even exist?

One of the worse agents in town. Dont use them for any cost. Simon call himself the manager is the one robbing innocent people.

Sadly Appalling - you have been warned

Without one word of hyperbole, this company is a total disgrace. They should be closed down. The staff are rude and well-versed in diversionary tactics of doing nothing to resolve any issue. They are particularly skilled at exploiting students. In the end, I had to get the local MP's office involved to resolve the issues as the students were at risk.

Shows properties on their website that have already been let so when you call to book a viewing you are told it's not avaliable. Don't bother getting your hopes up because they can't even be bothered to update their website.
