TrustpilotAvoid Vijay Kapila from Bham
Avoid dealings with Vijay Kapila from Birmingham branch if at all possible. He arranges people to come into your flat without warning. He shares other people’s contracts for other flats with you breaking confidentiality. He pretends the contracts are yours to try and stop you leaving presenting a huge bill. Very underhand tactics to extract fees. No deposit back still too.

TrustpilotOne of the worst letting agents
One of the worst letting agents. Impossible to get your deposit back. Hannah Britten lied and produced fake 'evidence' to succeed. Awful human being and awful company

TrustpilotViewed property through Letting Agent…
Viewed property through Letting Negotiator, Brendon, who explained the process and answered all queries. Very thoughtful chap, he showed us another property on the same street, going out of his way to do this. He adhered to all Covid19 related precautions, and was professional throughout viewing. Very satisfied with this branch, staff seem polite and friendly.

GoogleThis is probably the worst letting agency in the city. The staff is extremely unhelpful, arrogant and ridiculously rude. I let an apartment in Jewellery Quarter with them and I have ended up with the worst possible experience in my 5 years in the U.K. I would not recommend that you use these guys to deal with anything from sales to lettings to maintenance. Abhorrent service.

TrustpilotGreat experience
Recently ended my tenancy due to buying a new place, Lauren (Foster) could not have been more helpful! She made the whole process so quick and easy for me, she answered any questions i had, and i didn't have to worry about a thing, exactly what we needed considering all the other stress that comes with moving and buying a first home. Really grateful to her, Thankyou!

Appalling service from this lettings agency - our original agency transferred hands so I was expecting a step up in our service but absolutely nothing happened. They are withholding our deposit without real reason and I would prefer to just be done with this agency altogether.
