GoogleAwful Estate Agents, wouldn't recommend to anyone. Lack Customer Service skills and just care about the money. Hidden agency fees too and late deposit repayments.

Hi Awralla, we are currently awaiting confirmation of your bank details from yourself and your agreement with the deposit return proposal from the landlord, which has been sent to you. Once we have this from all tenants we can move forward with the deposit return. Property supervisor Tom Charlton (tom@waltonrobinson.com) has emailed you requesting this. Kind regards, WR

GoogleApart from staffs' rude behavior, which is ridiculously strange from an agency, they are not responsible at all. Rented an apartment with no water and electricity supply because of the former trainer failed to pay, they suggested it was tenants' responsibility and tried to ignore us. Of course, it was after we paid everything we should pay.

GoogleOffered us a discount to leave a 5 star review when signing our tenancy. Then proceeded to be the worst company I have ever dealt with. Too many issues to list here but we were left without an oven for over two weeks. Avoid like the plague.

GoogleOriginal Review (see edit below):
Insanely slow, really uncaring handling of resident issues.
Edit:
They worked harder to help me once I put a negative review and then things weren't as terrible.

GoogleDefinitely Don't go with Walton Robinson!
They will try to screw you over and get more money from you all the time,
also they aren't competent in their job, will take a month for them to sort things out and will lie to you continuously, General Professional Behaviour I would be ashamed of.

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.
