Worst people I have ever dealt with, I was looking to rent, they sent a young lad to do the viewing who knew NOTHING, could not answer any of our questions, very rude and had a terrible attitude, no reply from any emails, they speak to you very rudely on the phone and they don't have any clue what they are doing and can't help with any questions or queries. Useless. Avoid at all costs!!

As a first time user of C&P, I was concerned over the slow response rate I had received prior to even being approved for a rental property. I was frustrated over the amount of documentation and signatures required, but suppose to cover themselves. I am concerned about the deposit as it appears the contract is against tenants in that if you should be in breach of one item you may lose your deposit. I also offered 3, 6 and 12 months upfront payment, and there was not even consideration for the lower as I was desperate to find a bigger property. Obviously a new experience for me but would still prefer to own my own property and clamp out all the tenancy frustrations. It just seems to me that companies always follow up or chase contracts when it suites them or when it pertains to money. As any business would do, however there is a way to do it, showing respect and empathy towards all clients. Also for me customer satisfaction is always key to the professional outlook of a business and ensuring fast and effective communication.

Useless company. Rented a property for over two years - they then tried to bill me for items which include - a second hand umbrella some spray cans and a fold up chair(all from previous tenant which were left in the shed, we threw them away obviously). All of these should have been removed before I even moved in. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Staff are also usually late to any appointments and poorly trained. Would never rent through them again. Started off by trying to take my whole deposit but ended up taking nothing. Absolutely horrendous stressful experience - the property was in perfect condition when we left, hense you ended up not charging us for anything!

I have known both "Cowling " and "Payne" for many years and know from first hand experience that honesty and integrity come top of their list of many attributes. Great communication and attention to detail is also part of their great service. Keep up the good work!

Excellent service from the sales team when purchasing our first property. Michael, James, Ben, Laura, could talk to any one of them and they all knew what was happening throughout the transaction, an update was never any trouble. Will certainly be back when it comes to selling.
