Beware

Terrible estate agent i had to deal with which should be avoided. Lies after lies they make things up their self instead of getting information from other party. They don't care what your health status is as to them money matters not you.

Booked an appointment to view a property made one which was good and all get to the place only to find can not get in to said property as the lock is broken which is unlucky as the type of lock can brake but to add insult to injury the lock has been acting up for 3 weeks yet they did nothing to fix it get told they will call me to re arrange an other viewing once the door lock is fixed go away happy call a few days latter to ask if the lock has been fixed and if i can book a viewing first call they say still waiting for a lock smith and they will arrange for every one who went but couldn't see once done few more days still not heard any thing so i gave them a call only to be told by some one with the charismatic skills of a dead fish to tell me its all ready been let out i ask why was i not told only for her to say oh sorry . will never trust or use them ever would it kill them to send me an email or a text to call themNegativeProfessionalism

I would not recommend to use these estate agents and if I could give a zero star I would. I wanted to rent a property took a number of calls and emails to get a viewing but let this go due to the current situation of covid 19. However this continued and took me over a week before I got anywhere to be able to apply for the house I wanted to rent. The application went through fine and I asked if I had got the property and they said would contact the landlord to see if they were happy to proceed and they would get back to me. The only way I found out I had not got the house was finding the house being advertised online by a different estate agent and they have not once had the respect and courtesy to call or email me to explain why this has happened. Damn right disrespectful and disgusting behaviour I think their customer service skills need a hell a lot of improvement.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism
