GoogleI’ve been with R&S for over 4 years now. There were some initial issues when I moved in as the previous tenant hadn’t arranged the end of tenancy clean and this hadn’t been checked before I moved in, there were also some other problems with the flat, however they sorted out the problems quite quickly.
Since then, I have found them helpful and responsive and the service has definitely improved over the last couple of years.
I’ve recently requested they improve the insulation in the flat and new heaters which was approved and done very quickly. I’ve also had a new kitchen fitted, new fridge, oven and washing machine.
Occasionally requests can slip through the cracks and have to be chased however they do act quickly once chased.
Staff and contractors are always polite and friendly and I really have very little reason to complain.

GoogleAbby went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, always offering helpful advice and keeping my best interests at heart. If you are looking for a dedicated and proactive estate agent, I highly recommend Rentals and Sales, they truly deliver a first class service. One of the few companies left who provide personal service these days.

GoogleThis company facilitates rogue landlords - avoid like the plague!
Our experience with RentalandSales was terrible from start to finish. We had to report them to Merton Council due to serious disrepair that was repeatedly ignored. The council gave them three months to fix the issues or face a fine. When the work was finally done, it was to a poor standard, exposed copper pipes down walls that scald when you touch (is that legal), and structural damage from a leak left unrepaired. I’ve now seen that the property has been put back on the market just a month after we moved out, with none of the issues resolved and the rent increased by 30%. (check rightmoves - Willmore end SW19). This company shows a complete disregard for tenants’ wellbeing. Avoid renting from them at all costs.

We are concerned to read your review and take all feedback seriously. However, several points are inaccurate.
Any maintenance reported to us during your tenancy was addressed and resolved in record time. The council report you refer to related to minor maintenance issues, not all of which were reported to our maintenance team during your tenancy. Nonetheless, all reported issues were resolved quickly and professionally. These matters did not render the property uninhabitable at any point.
All repairs were carried out by qualified contractors in line with legal and safety standards. The property has been maintained to a high standard, and all structural and plumbing works were completed appropriately.
Regarding the property being listed after the tenancy ended, this is standard practice once a lawful tenancy concludes and does not indicate unresolved disrepair. Rent adjustments reflect current market conditions and comply with legal parameters.
We encourage tenants to report any maintenance concerns directly to us during their tenancy so they can be resolved promptly.

GoogleI rented a place for almost 4 years and ended my tenancy more than 3 weeks ago. There's absolute no communication on returning my deposit, although I thought there was a great collaboration, I would advise to not partner with them, once you're out they really don't care about their customers. I have trouble sleeping at night and it's caused my stress and anxiety the fact that they're holding my deposit for absolute no reason and they are not communicating anything to me, their inventory process is the slowest, it feels like it's intentional to keep people's money or not even care you may need those to pay another deposit somewhere else.
Update 1:
after more than 4 weeks the agency said they have provided me the full deposit (which I still have not yet received by the way and today is 5 weeks since we moved out) . I had to use all my powers, free time, resources and evidence to ensure they don't take any deductions. The fact that they were so quick to take deductions without any proof on how the property looked like at the check in amazes me. On top of that, their agent made a mess in the bathroom floor as they entered with their dirty shoes on and then had the audacity to say it wasn't clean. The photos on their own inventory report proved that was the case. Not only that but they haven't apologised for being so slow with sending the inventory report nor their finally deductions and they haven't appreciated that I have left the property more clean than it was at the check in. As a service provider you should treat the client's money with the utmost respect and urgency to give those back in a timely manner, as well as treat me fairly. You have failed me on those things!
Update 2: the agency still have not approved my DPS claim of my deposit in full although they confirmed 11 days ago they have done so. Although they keep saying they're doing everything they can in their reply here. actions speak louder than words.

Hi Alexandra,
I’m really sorry to hear this is how we’ve made you feel, it’s absolutely not the experience we want anyone to have. Rest assured, your deposit is held securely by a third-party protection scheme, as outlined in your tenancy agreement, so there’s no funny business going on here.
We’re looking into the situation now to see who you were dealing with and where the delay might have happened. We’ve been keeping landlords and tenants safe and supported since 1990, that’s 35 years this coming January, and take pride in doing things the right way.
I’ll come back here with an update as soon as I have more information. In the meantime, I’m genuinely sorry for the stress this has caused and thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Best regards,
Tara Rez

GoogleFor viewing the agent essentially just opened the door and I checked around myself. After I was told I’d be contacted, they didn’t put in my offer until I chased several times. The impression was that nothing would be done unless I called. During the call when my offer was finally made, or so I was told, I had no real confirmation of that other than, “I have”
During the time I was waiting for landlord to respond to offer, at least that’s what I was told I was waiting for, I made calls and emails no responses to emails or call backs even though Simon said I would be called back “shortly” after meetings. The only response I got to my emails was that it had been given to someone else and no feedback was given on that. I think having, or even landlords having a preference for tenants according to various qualities and agents qualifying according to these is part of the job. I know as I’m an agent myself. But not even explaining what’s happening, giving the impression a tenant is just being ignored or being treated less importantly without explanation, especially during something that can be stressful like moving house is not got practice in my opinion.

GoogleAn agency in which the agent deceives a potential tenant. I was with my fiancée meeting an agent named Alex. at the meeting, talking to him, he assured us of a complete renovation of the kitchen and bathroom because they are in a terrible condition (it's about the apartment on SW20 BUSHEY ROAD). after a few days after viewing the apartment, the agent stopped replying and answering the phone. when I went to the agency to talk to him, his colleagues told me that: 1. nothing would be done there 2. the agent didn't tell us the truth 3. The agent named Alex had no idea what was in the apartment and what wasn't there. besides, when we asked him when the renovation of the kitchen and bathroom would start, he replied that a holding deposit had to be paid and he stopped answering questions related to what he told us while viewing the apartment and avoided the topic.
I will never try to rent any property from such a fraudulent agency again

Arranged a viewing and Ruffa, one of their agents, was already coming across as utterly incompetent and disorganized. Multiple emails and calls go unanswered. Sure enough, as many others have pointed out, you will be wasting your time with this unethical, unprofessional, disrespectful outfit. Despite setting up a viewing appointment and specifically asking Alex at the office to let us know if something comes up, they didn't, and we almost wasted 2 hours of our day to come to a viewing in Wimbledon. We only got lucky that the previous tenant was there and kindly gave us a quick tour. They treat people like dirt not humans who have busy lives. Stay clear.
