I give one star just because isn't possible to give less than that. We rented a property that wasn't fit for the purpose at all. None of the doors was working,the kitchen and both bathrooms had a broken toilet bowl and serious damp problems(which later have been confirmed by a specialist),the house was given completely filthy and later we had a very bad pest problem caused by the dirt and the garden,that has never been cleaned in years. I understand that they didn't manage the property on behalf of the landlord. But before the agency puts it on the market,they should inspect it and advice the owner that if the house isn't in good conditions,he should take the appropriate actions in order to make it right. Obviously when we had the viewing,we didn't figure our this amount of issues and definitely we didn't go try the doors or open the cupboard in the main bathroom to see what was inside. These things should work and the house should be given in a good state.This is out of doubt and is common sense. Also,when we left,one of the agents commented that it was annoying because they had to put the property on the market all over again. What isn't clear about the fact that the property can't be rent in the current state? And above all, they put their name and reputation on that letting,which doesn't look good on them. I hope the house,that in 7 months has been a continuous aggravation for us,isn't let again as it is,because it is really a shame

Rosella, hi i am sorry to learn that you had a bad experience in the property we introduced you to. We have let this property several times since 2014 -, with one couple living there for over 4 years - and prior to that it was the landlord's own home. We do not manage the property and the landlord is responsible for preparing the property between lets and for dealing with any issues that arise subsequently. We have not been aware of any mice problems at the house previously, but of course pest issues can arise at any property given the right circumstances. In our experience, this landlord has always been approachable and attentive, taking any issues seriously and leaving time between tenancies to prepare the house for new occupants. The property is currently vacant and has not been re-marketed, as the landlord has said he wishes to undertake some work there first. As we act for him only on a tenant finding basis, re-letting the house would be financially advantageous to us, so I'm unsure why we would feel annoyed by that. We will however ensure the matters you have brought to our attention have been addressed prior to doing so. Kind regards, Peter
