The worst letting agent I’ve ever used

The worst letting agent I’ve used ever. Be careful, they’ll find the smallest things wrong and take a big chunk of your deposit. Would not recommend at all. Would rate it 0 if I could. Even 1 star is too much. Had to chase numerous times for my deposit. A few months before my contract was up they would constantly phone asking if we wanted to renew but didn’t return calls or emails when we handed in our notice until we’d chase nearly every day

I rented with O’Connor Bowden for 2 years and found them to be a very helpful and friendly team! Thank you to Cerys and Tracey for always being friendly, personable, and transparent - as far as letting agents go, I feel like O’Connor Bowden do care about their tenants and properties, I had a very positive rental experience.

Would put 0 stars if possible, worst estate agents I’ve experienced, agreed to move into an apartment, signed contracts and then was told the unit wasn’t available. Moved to another unit within the building which was smaller and then had non stop issues with maintenance which wasn’t resolved. The building was advertised as for “working professionals” but within months 3 different drug dealers where living in the building causing chaos. When it came to the end of my tenancy they arranged viewings who without giving me notice and turned up at my door with potential new tenants. They also tried to keep a sizeable amount of my deposit due to “missing screws” in the oven which were later found out to be still in the bag from when it was installed. Awful communication and management. Absolutely avoid at all costs.

Worst agency to ever exist on planet earth. Greedy money grabbing scums, within the first inventory myself and wife pointed out woodlice, water leaking from upstairs bathroom, damp walls, mould, there was no Gas safe certificate either, dust and dead flies left on the window sills. We had to relentlessly clean the property including the cooker and oven which kept ticking off the carbon monoxide alarm, dirt and the landlord's belonging left behind including cups, pans, crockery and disgusting old bed sheets and duvets in the cupboards. None of this was ever addressed even though the woodlice and damp/mould on the walls were a hazard to our health and Tracey Bowden the vile creature had the audacity to deduct £900 from our deposit at the end of the tenancy and on top of that speak to myself and my pregnant wife with utter rudeness and disgust. How do you sleep at night?! AVOID at all costs! I would give 0 stars if I could. Worst experience ever, no consideration for us as tenants, zero customer service, all they care about is money! Look at the image of how much disgusting muck that came out of the oven we had to clean with detergent and scrape into a plastic bag and they said it was spotless when we moved in, how do they lie without any remorse at all???!

I have been with OConnor Bowdens renting for 13 years and they have always been helpful, friendly and personable. I've recently had to move but will always be very grateful to them for how good they have always been with me, Tracey, Sue and Cerys are a brilliant team!

Offered a viewing. Went to viewing. Stated my interest/rang up to confirm. Told I'd be called back to let me know that day. Had to chase up to find out that the property had been taken the day before the viewing!

AVOID! I would put zero stars if I could. Moved into a flat without working ventilation (and no opening windows). They told me it wasn't an urgent matter even though I was severely unwell within a week. Appalling service, they hung up on me twice, didn't refund me the rent I was due after moving out of the flat which was inhabitable!

AVOID this estate agent. I have just lost my sale due to the property O'onnor Bowden marketed which had no building regulations in place! I have good reason to believe they had full knowledge of this before marketing the property. I wouldn't even give them 1-star, they are utterly soulless individuals.

The residential lettings agency are…

The residential lettings agency are completely terrible, negligent of maintenance issues with contractors leaving ceiling spotlight fixtures loose so that they hit you on the head. They charge you for the replacement of old crusty spring mattresses and any other faults they have neglected to fix before you have moved in e.g. door handles.

Would put zero stars if I could. Would not advise anyone to sign a tenancy with this agency. No response to emails so any issues will not be dealt with and if it’s not for their financial benefit, they aren’t interested! If you haven’t …

Avoid at all costs! Due to the busyness of Christmas and moving house I made the honest mistake of not cancelling a standing order for rent after moving out of one of their properties. They told me they could send the money back first thing …

Put house back up on the market less than 48 hours before we move in and while knowing we was at the MRI seeing our dying father. Never again
