TrustpilotAlistair Bowman
Alistair Bowman - Mortgage Manager He has been a massive help to us. We couldn’t do anything without Mr Bowman, we went through many struggles with our mortgage and Mr Bowman tried to help in any way possible, always reassuring us and trying his best to overcome the problems we faced. He’s friendly and very understanding to any situation. If you are looking for a mortgage manager we couldn’t recommend Mr Bowman enough. Thank you for all your help.

RMS Blyth were the agents acting on the house I’ve just purchased. Dawn was so professional, informative and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble and she was very friendly and supportive throughout the whole process. Wish i’d used them for my sale! Would 100% recommend.

It is a job filled with highs and lows and she thoroughly takes it all in her stride with her calm and friendly manner.

I had a very disappointing experience with this agency.
Naser · 9 April 2026
Agent replied · 27 May 2026
Dear Naser,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience and you felt that our communication did not meet your expectations.
After reviewing this with the branch, we understand that there were already three applicants who had viewed the property prior to your enquiry. When you got in touch, we did attempt to arrange access as quickly as possible; however, the current tenant was on holiday, which unfortunately delayed the viewing until their return.
We received an application from one of the earlier viewers. As part of our process, this was submitted to the landlord and our head office team for consideration. While an application is being reviewed, the property does remain actively marketed in case the agreement does not proceed. It is only removed from the market once a tenancy agreement has been formally signed.
While we always aim to keep applicants informed, access to tenanted properties can sometimes present challenges outside of our control.
We would like to wish you the very best in securing a suitable property.
RMS

TrustpilotSTAY CLEAR, RENT FROM A MORE REPUTABLE COMPANY
My daughter picked up her keys for her 1st rented flat yesterday. They had assured her the carpets had been cleaned, yet they were rotten! My white socks came out black on the bottom when leaving! No end of tenancy clean had been done, i have photos and Videos at the state of the Place with dirt, dust, hair lying all over, a manky shower screen, toilet covered in urine and faeces! The fridge freezer is a shambles, and they are refusing to sort it out! The carpets need replacing never Mind a clean, but my daughter had said as long as they had been cleaned she would be happy to take it. They lied through their teeth saying they had been cleaned, made her sign the contract before letting her check! And surprise surprise they hadn’t been cleaned! Now they don’t want to know!Abysmal service!!
Roisinandjames · 2 August 2023
Agent replied · 17 June 2024
We’re incredibly disappointed to receive this review as you can see with our 4.8 star we pride ourselves in the service we provide. We can assure you this property had been cleaned by the landlord prior to the tenancy commencement. As a reputable letting agency, we wouldn't and have never forced anyone to sign a contract, all properties are viewed prior to an application being submitted and a holding deposit paid. Our lettings team have worked directly with the named tenant and landlord to rectify issues in the property since moving in. As per the inventory letter which is issued alongside the inventory, all tenants have 7 days from the tenancy start date to notify the property inspector of any issues they have found which are not already noted on the inventory. Any issues raised are dealt with accordingly, in some instances, tenant preference can override genuine repair or maintenance and as this is not a new-build property, having had tenants previously then there does have to be allowances for fair wear and tear. Rest assured that this is the reasoning behind our thorough inventory reports, to protect the tenant from unreasonable claims being made at the end of the tenancy by the landlord. Our team will always help with any issues and there was no difference in this situation. In the rarity that a tenant is extremely unhappy with the property despite viewing before submitting their application and signing the inventory, they can return the keys to the local branch, cancel the let and receive a full refund however this was not deemed necessary by the tenant.
