Unhelpful with lack of transparency in communication. We wanted a virtual viewing (which most of the rental market undergoes now!) as we adored a property and received hasty responses until we requested a virtual viewing (plenty of other places in Carlisle we have experienced this with too). Despite being upfront about our interest, we communicated we are willing to pay the holding fee and deposit immediately and asked how to take it forward and having sold a home last month (so money wasn't an issue) and being able to move in as of September. It seems anyone coming from down South local agents gatekeep to keep locals in with physical viewings, is all I can assume from being ignored. Never had these issues with previous renting places such as OpenRent, who are accomodating online with people moving / relocating. Very unhelpful as we just want to rent before purchasing a home in the area to be sure if we prefer that area or any of the surrounding areas. I don't usually write negative reviews, but the ongoing tireless property hunt in the rental market is insane, seems absurd to turn down a financially secure family on their journey for their forever home area. Can only hope going forward there's better honesty and communication from this branch with people wanting to rent, rather than ignoring them, instead just communicating the real concern / issue, as then buyers may feel less fatigued and confused in the process
