GoogleThe worst process Iβve encountered in my life. Non communicative team. Have given the feedback already that they need to do better. Constantly having to chase them up from viewings to offer details. Sent my stress levels through the roof. One girl was amazing but the rest of the team need to work on how they conduct themselves and communicate with potential tenants.
*update*
Amira was a nickname of someone who worked there not her actual name. And I have checked my emails and confirmed this definitely was your organisation. Which also reminded me of the multiple incorrect spellings of my name both in emails and in your response. For further confirmation please check your emails from 3/05/23 onwards. I can assure your team single handedly gave me the worst agent experience of my life.

Hi Elysee you must have our business confused with another business as there is nobody by the name of Amira at our company. Please consider removing this review and we shall contact Google in relation to this also.

Google*Edited to add: "This experience happened to my brother as I supported him. I viewed the property with my brother and was present when promises to fix all problems including broken windows were made. Carpets were replaced but window wasn't fixed, no cleaning done, rancid water still in white goods, mould not dealt with and then the discovery of flea spray leading to thw admission of fleas then followed cockroaches". Due to this i maintain the orignal review stating that on mine and my brothers experience these agents withheld information. They didn't tell potential tenants about a flat with an infestation of both fleas AND cockroaches (confirmed by pest control) and withheld the deposit after being found out. Totally unprofessional and underhanded. Do your research as they will not give you the information. Very disappointed.

Dear Nich
I'm most surprised by your comments as you have not been involved in any letting processes with us. However please go back to Leon who made the application with us and he can confirm via an invoice duly provided that the infestation was treated before before the property had come onto the market. Thus before he made an application to let with us. I'm afraid infestations are a common issue and are easily treated, and we duly took the steps to have this treated before Leon viewed the flat with us.
Leon decided that he did not want to let the flat for reasons unknown to us after we had negotiated a delayed move in date to fit his requirements and also carried out works such as replace carpets which was part of his offer.
We provided our terms and conditions at the outset of how his holding deposit would be handled and it is explicit that should he not proceed with the tenancy the deposit would be forfeited. This is standard practice and our documents are prepared by ARLA who monitor our professional practices. Leon is entitled to take this up with the Property Ombudsman however our terms and communications have been explicit.
I'm afraid your review is completely unfair and underhanded, you have provided a negative review of a small family business without all the facts. I have also reported this review to Google as it is a unrepresentative of the facts.
Yours faithfully
Razin Omar

GoogleA company that should not be dealt with at all. Because when we rent a house, we get back a very small amount of the deposit we put. Also, they usually take more than a month to repair it after informing us of any defect. They took 5 weeks to change the washing machine in the house I got and they took 1 month to fix the fault of the heater in the bathroom and during that time I was very uncomfortable but they did not care. So think twice before getting a house from them.

Weβre sorry to hear that you had a negative experience, and we appreciate your feedback. We always aim to provide a high standard of service and address maintenance issues as quickly as possible.
Regarding deposit returns, deductions are made in accordance with the tenancy agreement and industry guidelines to ensure fairness.
As for maintenance timelines, while we strive to complete repairs promptly, some issues, especially appliance replacements, can take longer due to supplier availability and scheduling constraints. We regret any inconvenience you experienced and appreciate your patience during that time.
We value all our tenants and always welcome constructive feedback to improve our services.

It's not clear what you are referring to. Please help us make sense of what you are saying?! I would suggest you look at the responses of those negative reviews. Anyone who is disgruntled is usually a tenant who has left their property in disrepair and has been charged for the repairs which we are in our right to do so to maintain our clients properties.

GoogleAbsolutely useless agents, had many things go wrong with our βHolmesβ property, to which Holmes still have not sorted out, one being a major mouse infestation only to be told it was our problem to sort out!!! Young family with kids having to catch mice every night is a nightmare in itself, not to mention dodgy electrics, windows coming away from their frames, back door thatβs about to fall out of its frame, plug sockets that need replacing etc,
Been told landlord is selling so given us a section21, more like he doesnβt want to fix this monstrosity of a house!
Shannon Β· 16 April 2024

Dear Shannon
Sincere apologies you have not had a great experience with us.
I've checked our correspondence and we have sent pest control to resolve this issue and also advised on the telephone measures to reduce any mice into the property. Unfortunately mice is a product of the area and we all have to take steps to reduce their impact. There are a number of online methods and also from your local DIY store products that can assist in the reducing the risk of an infestation.
Apologies I cannot see any communication from yourselves regarding the windows and back door but can confirm that there is an electrical certificate which has been provided to yourselves to confirm that the electrics are safe.
We further apologise to you that you will need to move on as the landlord is looking to sell up. Unfortunately the situation is out of our hands.
Please feel free to call me directly or email us for any further enquiries for us to assist you. I'd appreciate it if you could communicate with us directly as opposed to a public statement. We are always here to help
