The worst agents ever

The worst agents ever. They are unorganised and once they take your money they don’t care . Will never use them again. Their head office was extremely rude did not help in a situation that was completely their fault. Will not use them or recommend them to anyone.

Terrible

Terrible! Avoid at all costs. I paid my rent late three times in the course of two years. Twice due to change in jobs and there was nothing I could it about it. They failed my reference for a new flat and was unapologetic. Extremely dismissive and rude staff. Took a year of being here to get a toilet seat fixed let alone other repairs. I’m a journalist so I’m planning to expose them soon if they carry on this way. Complete and utter disgrace of a company.

Absolutely fantastic

I would like to thank the entire team for all their hard work and efforts throughout the whole buying process. They were amazing. I wasnt selling through them i was buying. Mark showed us around the house and even layed on the floor to show us a bath would fit 🤣. Speaking to Hayley and Mark throughout the whole process was fantastic. Every time I rang I got an answer straight away. Spoke to megan a few times and she was fantastic as well. These guys really know how to look after people and are really good estate agents ! Would definitely sell with them in the future. Thanks again for all your hard work

Incredibly poor experience as a tenant

Incredibly poor experience as a tenant. Consistently not answering to emails, many broken promises and frustration. After a month in the flat, some things promised to be fixed when we moved in are still broken. Takes a lot of time and effort to deal with, avoid if possible.

Renato · 25 March 2019

Agent replied · 13 June 2024

26/03/19 Dear Renato. I have spoken to the Property Management team and I believe that you have now spoken to one of our Team Leaders. The items that were conditional on the let being agreed were dealt with promptly, but I do understand that you raised a number of issues after you moved on. Obviously agreement on these items is required by the landlord and our PM team had attempted to achieve without delay but appreciate that our communication could have been better. I can only apologise for this and am sure all items will be resolved very soon. If I can help further please let me know. Thanks. Andrew26/03/19 Dear Renato. I am sorry to hear about your experience. I will investigate and come back to you. Thanks. Andrew Roberts - Customer Relations Manager

This was by far the worst tenancy and property management experience I have ever endured in my 10 years of living in London and now Sutton at Northumberland House. I have recruited roles in PM and can assure you that the standard of property management is exceptionally low, it was rarely visited, and security was frequently used to fill in the gaps. It takes months for anything to get fixed and communication is at a minimum. Tenants should be at the heart of the business, not a number and forgotten about. My advice would be to go to a more reputable property agent. Avoid, you will regret dealing with them...

Unprofessional liars who try to take your money before an offer is even accepted

A very unprofessional company with very unprofessional staff, Nicholas impartcular. I asked to put an offer on a flat. An email was sent immediately telling to make an offer and to transfer £500 deposit. Of course I was not going to give them my money until and offer was accepted. I never got a response from the email so emailed him to confirm he had received it. Still nothing. After not hearing from him at all for two days I called the office and spoke to A colleague who said it was pending and Nicholas would call me. 2 days later my boyfriend called up to chase the offer again. Nicholas then lied to my boyfriend and said he had already called me to tell me our offer hadnt been accepted. He then spoke to me very rudely still saying he had called me to tell me that. Such a liar and totally rubbish at his job. Stay clear of these and I’m now really glad that I didn’t get the flat as having this company as your estate agent would be a nightmare.

Professional thieves!!! Beware of them.

Guys, please don't go near them. They took my £250 pounds . Told me they are checking my preference for over a month. They tell lies, unprofessional, raised their voice when talking to you. Push you around themselves. They are fraudsters, posing under letting disguise. I promise them I'll get my money back. They wasted our time chasing refrence. We spent one month and some days trying to rent from them. Not knowing, thru have already given the house to someone else, while they made us chase after nothing. They work together with FCC paragon. Doing nothing, but rip people off their had earned money. I wish there's no star to describe them.

Not professional, lie, threatening, unskilled

Not professional, threatening, doesn't give out the right information, lie to tenant and lie to landlord just for their own benefit so bad for both side really. I got told off, threaten and accused of not being grateful because they believe that THEY CALLED to give me a good suggestion as they believe they were doings me a favor as a result of me asking questions on some sensitive issue which i'd like to know more information on before making decision. Inventory check is not accurate and use a twist in wording to charge you. Property manager is amateur and poorly trained and bad communication. Threatening, charge twice for fee by mistake and didn't even realise or check until I raised the issue , rude and raise their voice when being challenge with some questions and facts and threatening you that you will be charged a lot of amount if you don't listen or so things their way .. but can't answer any of your questions
