GoogleAbsolute disgrace of a company. House filthy - hasn’t even been hoovered when we moved in. Don’t reply to emails for weeks. If you call them they say ‘sorry’ and that’s it. Charge huge rates for what the houses are.NegativeResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleIt's a sad state of affairs when your own company secretary, Ivor Bull, has to leave a review to try and boost the very poor rating of this awful company. There are professional and responsive letting agents in Exeter but Cardens is not one of them.NegativeResponsiveness, Professionalism

GoogleThey don't fix anything. I really wouldn't go through them unless absolutely necessary. Finders fee I had to pay was extortionate (£200) luckily this sort of fee is becoming illegal to charge. for what you pay you really don't get much back.
Overall: a disappointing estate agent

Do not go with this company, they have changed the layout of the house after we have signed the contract. They said what we wanted to hear and now we are unable to use a room and to make it worse they are remorseless. AVOID

GoogleRang to apply for tenancy on Saturday - promised a call back/email on Monday. After no response contacted the estate agency today who informed had agreed let on the property today. Not a good service at all and no way to get or keep business

GoogleWorst letting agency in Exeter.They are very unprofessional, very bad service, the houses are very dirty and should be rented to normal people, dirty carpet, broken shower, broken toilet, no hot water…

GoogleAppalling service, Renters beware! Over charged on on the first quaters rent and I'm still chasing the money now. Staff when contacted are rude and unhelpful. Im at a complete loss as to how they run a business, they should be ashamed.

GoogleSTUDENTS DO NOT USE CARDENS: so many issues!! 7 person house said to be a 6 person house, house full of mould, mould nite infestations, no insulation. I promise spending a bit extra is worth it in the long run.

GoogleTerrible dishonest and uncaring service, no respect for tenants. The house itself was not maintained, practically rotting from the inside out with no evidence that there was any sort of quality control by student cardens. Strongly recommend to avoid.

GoogleAwful, never rent from this company. They take ages to come and fix even the smallest thing wrong with your house. Our heating has been broken for 2 weeks now, and still nothing. This morning our house was 12°C

FacebookAbsolutely useless, dishonest people! They don't address major issues, they say they will check and call back, but they never do. They made my move a horrible experience, stay away from them!

Where the same review appears twice we show it once. We leave out reviews that name another agent or another of the brand's offices.
