GoogleSteff and Lauren have made renting a pleasure rather than a chore!!! I would not hesitate to rent through them again. Their response rate is incredible together with their willingness to ensure I have a good rental experience. Myself and Maisie the springer spaniel have been very happy renting with them for the past 3 years! Highly recommend.

GoogleAmazing staff and great to find a company that finds the balance between tenant and property owner. For us the best thing about the team at S&W is the knowledge legally and making sure that both tenant and owner understand everything if there is a problem. We would strongly recommend the team and it's just nice to have a team that simply treat you how they clearly would like to be treated themselves. Much better processing than our previous letting agent.
Thanks again

GoogleBy far the most helpful agents I've come across. A week before moving into our property, the letting agent we were going through (and paying) disappeared. I had a call from Steph saying she was now dealing with it & although the Landlord new nothing about our imminent arrival she got everything sorted in time. As you can imagine, with having to move out of our previous home on specified date etc, if it hadn't of been for Steph's efforts we'd have been homeless. Cannot thank you enough Steph!

GoogleBad experience! In fact they are useless liars and I highly suggest avoiding this company at all cost! I wouldnβt even give them one star! If you have a problem in any property they rent/let then I suggest you deal with it yourself as informing this agency will just result in them blaming you! Canβt wait for my contract to end!

GoogleChanged to one star as they tried to charge me an extra two days rent and for a cracked fridge shelve which was very old and wearing before we moved in.
Initially, everything was great - Just be wary about their check our procedure.
We won through the DPS, did not pay a penny, they tried to rip me off

James Β· 12 June 2020
Agent replied Β· 11 June 2024
Hi James, I am sorry you felt you had a bad experience with us and that you changed your 5 star review to a 1 star review following deductions being made from your deposit for damages. If a property is not returned in the condition it was given to you in (bar fair wear and tear) then the landlord is entitled to make deductions to remedy any damages caused during your tenancy. The fridge was not that old and as per the checkout report, you did crack the drawers during your tenancy, and as such it is only fair that you pay a contribution towards the cost of replacing these. In addition, you did not return the keys until 2 days after your tenancy ended, so the landlord is entitled to charge rent for these days. I wish you the best of luck in your new home.

GoogleHave used southern and west to manage my property over the years. They have always given me excellent customer service and are always efficient, especially when i had a tenant who thought it was acceptable to walk away from my property having caused damage to furniture and leave all her rubbish behind, then complained because monies were released from her deposit to cover these costs.
