GoogleFirst time buying a property, they listened to my needs, taking the time to answer all my questions and providing me with extra information on what I should be doing. Having the MIO app was also very helpful and gave me structure to each step I had taken on the purchasing journey. I would highly recommend Red Squirrel and will be using them again in the future!

FacebookDO NOT USE THIS DISHONEST COMPANY Despite us leaving the house in a clean condition as well as our check out Inventory and check out photos showing very little dirt, Red Squirrel have charged us £450 to clean a tiny two bed in Cowes. Rather than hire a professional cleaning company they contract the cleaners themselves and when asked to provide proof of products used and hours worked they've refused. I feel this is a highly unprofessional and non transparent way to do business.
When we disputed the charge Red Squirrel sent emails stating our Tenancy Agreement requires a professional deflea and clean due to us having a pet. This is not in our tenancy agreement as this would be unlawful (Tenant Fees Act 2019). You need proof of damage/infestation to require such charges and this was not the case, nor any evidence provided as such. It seems to me again highly unprofessional that an estate agent doesn't appear to know current property law or what is in their own Tenancy agreement.
We are now seeking legal advice to take this matter further.
Over 2 years we never missed rent, we had 3 house inspections, every time being told the house looked immaculate and we cleaned every inch of it when we left. In our opinion they have zero ethics. We recommend you look elsewhere for your housing needs.
And in response to your claim the DPS rewarded you the money - that is false. We missed the evidence submission date. Photo attached of email proof from the DPS.
PLEASE STOP LYING

1) If you have such compelling evidence why did you not share it with us before we went to the DPS? If valid, it would have avoided wasting valuable government agency time, resources and essentially tax payer's money.
2) And why is this 'evidence' not included in our exit report from Acorn Inventories? Your claims are inconsistent with what Acorn, a third party agency, have recorded.
3) We have never asked for our full deposit back, we just expected an amount back that is fair.
4) Saying we have no evidence is pure conjecture. We have taken legal advice and have all evidence necessary for our case that we initially prepared for the DPS, that we will now be submitting to the Small Claims Court.
Please remember it is the cleaning bill alone that we are contesting. You can either share your 'factual' evidence here on Facebook or via email. We look forward to it with interest.

GoogleI purchased my flat through Red Squirrel, rented it out with them for 6 years and sold through them. I can confirm that Eileen and the rentals team are all lovely and extremely professional with any issues being speedily dealt with. Charlie and the sales team are equally as professional and I would not hesitate to recommend them for either your purchase/sale or letting needs.

GoogleRed Squirrel were so helpful and always available even while everything was so busy! Our offer was passed on quickly, and communication between the parties was always prompt. We completed within 2 months of putting in our offer, and Red Squirrel were really communicative throughout. On picking up the keys we also received a lovely moving in box full of snacks and drinks and other goodies - such a lovely finishing touch to a completely smooth process.

GoogleAwful customer service. Me and my partner wished to rent a flat with red squirrel property shop- the employees were unhelpful and predudice on account of our age although we are both young adults who work professionally full time with a large amount of savings. They refused to take us seriously and begrudged every move we made. Unless you are middle aged, middle class and horribly predudice yourself, I would never recommend this agency.

I am sorry you feel the way you have above. I would like to stress that your claims are unjustified and incorrect.
When selecting a tenant we put each and every case to the landlord and THEY make the decision on who to go with not us. We rent to all ages at all different types of properties.
We look forward to assisting you in future property transactions.
