GoogleA tenant for 2 years, never missed paying rent. But had to hold back rent in order to get repairs done on the house. House was draughty, cold and damp, the supplies left behind when I moved in should have rung alarm bells:See pic of cupboard contents.
Left with no heating multiple times for a week or so at a time. The only contact you ever get is to check that rent will be paid! They even have the cheek to tell you that the land lord will do no further repairs, even tho jobs were still outstanding from the start of tenancy. The shower the house was advertised with, didn't work, well it did, but was about as efficient as standing under an incontinent rodent.
The roof leaked, had to tell them 3 times before they even did anything, even then they didn't repair the damage to the interior of the house!
Windows that wouldn't open, others that were so draughty they may as well be left open. So glad I am out, I thought I would warn others. And to top it all, they charged over £500 a month for this property and refused to give back my bond. Have a look at the pics on the links.

GoogleFantastic service from Barton Kendal yet again. I have used them repeatedly over the last few years and they have been fast and efficient with everything they have done for me. I have been specifically impressed with their home buyers reports which have been detailed and more importantly accurate with regard the state of a property, the suggested work required and the valuation. It is so important to have an expert eye when buying property and it is even more important to have someone you can rely on during the current covid pandemic, when viewings are often online, or access is restricted. The reports have allowed me to make an informed decision on whether to buy a property and if there needs to be some negotiation on price. Totally essential if you want to buy with confidence. I also currently have a purchase going through the conveyance process with Barton Kendal and again the service is excellent.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleShocking experience got made to wait for 25 minutes outside in the storm last week absolutely drenched wet through mislead on the basis of getting the place just out to grab money and drag things out. Definitely wouldn't recommend. Some good agents in the area id swerve these guys, seem to be okay at selling and stuff but from a tenants perspective don't care one bit very disappointed

GoogleTruly brilliant estate agents in Rochdale. Having previously been renting in Newhey and having enough of our landlords, we handed in our notice and werr getting close to our move out date without a place to go with the tough rental market. Craig and olivia were absolutely fantastic and paramount in us getting a home. They not only found us our perfect house for our requirements, but made us feel totally at ease. We are totally settled in and are so thankful for having Craig and olivia as our point of contact, absolutely fantastic service and always happy to help. 100% recommend!
