GoogleRented a property from them this time last year, absolute shambles. The property had mould, smelt so bad of dog, we tried absolutely everything and even brought a carpet cleaner, this didn’t help. The bathroom window didn’t open, and we didn’t have a vent, woodlice infestation. We didn’t have a key for half of the windows to open them. The front door didn’t close properly, it had a big gap at the bottom letting in cold air. We was absolutely freezing considering it was September/October. Barry was an aware of this before we moved into the property.
The property had a fuse board that shouldn't be there, because it has no RCD protection. And we had no certificate provided for that fuse board.
The person above us was an absolute nightmare, vacuuming ridiculously early in the morning and intentionally banging on the floor. Again, Barry was aware of this before we moved in. The amount of stress I was under, while being pregnant. We was only released from the property as long as they kept our deposit, despite the many issues, such as the mould making us unwell. Ammonia from the dog urine in the carpets also caused us to be unwell, causing us to take time off work.

GoogleNOT EVEN WORTH THE ONE STAR RATING
DO NOT USE THIS ESTATE AGENTS - they are useless - if you ever report maintenance, always ensure you have it all recorded as existing tenants - we are still waiting for our depoist back - after weeks of this being completey.
There is only one Property Manager - who is never there in the office!
they all lie about what is reported so then you get penalised for this on check outs!!
such bad reviews on Google and now i know why!
DONT LET/RENT THROUGH THIS COMPANY

GoogleArcher Bassett managed my property for many years, as I live away from the Birmingham area, so it was important that I had a reliable letting agent. The team there have been fantastic, one of the best letting agents I've used.

Hi, thanks for your review but this certainly is not a fair reflection of what happened. Your deposit was independently adjudicated by TDS as you disagreed with the landlord's (not our) deductions.

GoogleI live in a house that's made into 2 flats, I own the front garden and the lady upstairs rents from a private landlord. The landlord told me he was going to maintain the back garden which was overgrown. Archer Bassett take the rent for it. There are so many rats running around and also dead rats which I have to remove, I can't have my windows open due to the amount of flies coming into the window. I have spoken to this estate agents 3 times about this. They tell me that the owner is ignoring their emails. I'm stressed out now and my cats are injuring themselves on all the stingers and thorns that are in there. if nothing is done I will bag the dead rats up and drop them off at the estate agents. All they care about is their money.

Google1 word- AVOID
Do not use this company for any services if you know what’s best for you guys
They withheld a holding deposit for no good reason and were extremely unhelpful when i brought it up
Total time wasters, I recommend you AVOID these agents at all costs
Or else you’ll regret it.
P.S their responses are completely untrue, do NOT use this service

Hello, thank you for your comments.
However and as you are aware, this is not a fair reflection of the situation. We obviously will not post the reasons publicly but when we tried to explain them to you you hung up on us and this was after a torrent of vile verbal abuse from your mother towards several members of staff over multiple (recorded) phone calls.
