Despite being told many times about drug dealing occurring in one of their properties, they still haven't taken any action against the tenants.
Having recently taken over the Lettings at Brown & Kay I take this very seriously and if you would like to contact the office directly I will certainly take full details of your complaint. I will need to know the property in question and if you have reported this serious matter to the relevant authorities as well? I am more than happy to try and help . I did try and post this reply 14 weeks ago . I have had no contact as yet from complainant.

Michael Poole Coulby Newham have helped us buy 3 houses now, 2 for rental reasons and 1 personal. I can't thank Julie enough for everything she did for us. No question was a silly question. She dealt with enquires immediately. Thank you

Gill at Michael Poole Yarm is the most professional and efficient estate agent I have dealt with. If it was not for her our long and arduous sale of our house would not have been possible. The help that we received from Gill was exemplary she certainly went beyond the normal scope of her job to help us secure not only our sale but for our purchase so that both sides did not fall. All told the sale and purchase process took 17 months and she held our hands every step of the way. Gill is pleasant, professional but most importantly makes you feel the most important person she is dealing with. For the small fee we paid we certainly got our money's worth. If you are buying or selling Michael Poole Yarm is a great office to deal with. Thank you so much!

Michael Poole (Stockton branch) went the extra mile to secure the sale of my property. Luke Johnson (Branch Manager) and his team were very professional from start to finish. I was highly satisfied with the service provided and the very competitive rates charged. I can highly recommend Michael Poole Estate Agents.

I recently sold a property through the Eston branch and bought a property through the Yarm branch. Both branches offer an excellent service and employ a superb team of professional hard working staff. I will certainly use their services again in the future and I would highly recommend to both buyers and sellers.
5/5
Dealing with Streets through Sean Ryan and his colleagues has been very satisfactory. They are all very professional and courteous. Correspondence is answered quickly and clearly. I am a purchaser not a vendor but I would recommend this firm to anyone.

Natalie was very helpful in helping us find a flat. Went out of the way with follow-ups and ensuring our requirements were met. A delight to deal with.
5/5
My experience with Rebecca Morris so far has been very professional and very efficient. She's always on point with my requests and constantly reaching out to me with new properties and viewing arrangements. With me currently being out of the country I thought the whole process of finding a flat will be a nightmare but Rebecca is definitely proving me wrong. Keep up the good work Rebecca.
