You could improve by finding some moral fibre. They told my daughter (a child) she would have to wait 3 hours outside her house after they locked her out. Then said they would not come at all. To compound this there "manager" then repeatedly lied to me on the phone

Hi Steff. Every word was true,and while my daughter was asking you for help after a member of Southern and West staff locked her out of her building,you could have asked her what her name was. I have reported your company to The Daily Echo in Bournemouth who I hope deal with you by publishing the actions and then lack thereof,by your immoral staff. I will not be removing my posts and I am sharing your company's behaviour with as many people as I can.

We've rented from Southern & West for the past 8 years and couldn't be happier with the properties and the service they provide. Really friendly and efficient service at the beginningof the rental, during the years we'velived there and all the way to handingthe keys back, if we ever need to rent in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to get I touch with them again.

very bad I do not recommend anyone to go with this letting agency specially in Bournemouth, very unprofessional, they can easily deny what they promised before viewing... if you agree and select property they even do not pickup your call. very bad experience i had with this letting agency.

Saurav · 13 June 2019

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi Saurav, I am very sorry you feel you had a bad experience with us. Unfortunately, the landlord instructed us not to proceed any further with your application due to the information you submitted to us which meant you did not meet the relevant criteria for this property. As such we were unable to rent the property in Cambridge Road.

Avoid this agency like the plague kept a friends deposit and billed them for work that didnt need doing, failed to provide receipts or respond to calls in a timely manner, Southern & West are unprofessional AVOID!!

First · 13 June 2017

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

I am sorry you felt the need to write this review, as your friend had already left one herself below. We have not had any dealings with you directly so it saddens me that you needed to leave a negative review for a small business, where every review is important.

Don't deposit your deposit on dps or safe hold and then fail to release it even when admit they have it. Never had so many problems getting hold of any body in my life. Worst agent ever

Michelle · 13 June 2017

Agent replied · 11 June 2024

Hi Michelle I am sorry you feel that you had a bad experience with us. As you are aware we took over the managed property portfolio from another letting agent. All their deposits were transferred to us even for the properties that they did not manage, one of which was yours. Unfortunately, no contact information for tenant find only properties was given to us for either tenant or landlord, where this agent registered their deposit. I hope you can understand that without written consent from both parties, we are not able to just simply release deposits as we have no idea who either party is, nor that it has been agreed between them that the deposit should be released. As well as needing to obtain written instructions from both parties, we had to also obtain ID and proof of address for the landlord to confirm who they are as we have not ever dealt with any party before. We did not request nor agree for tenant find only deposits to be transferred into our Custodial DPS account as we were purely purchasing the managed property portfolio; however, once an agent or landlord has your Landlord/Agent ID number, they can simply transfer the responsibility to you without your consent. I hope this clarifies the difficult situation we were in at the time.
