Good Evening Peter, Please be kind enough to call our office to discuss your 1 Star review. We are here to help all our applicants and would like to offer a discussion and conclusion to establish your reasons for your review as you have failed not to write anything in relation to your 1 star, thus we cannot identify your reason. kind regards Laraine

Really bad service never ever let with them! They never fix anything! Don't reply and Don't help you just make falls promises! Don't respond to e-mails or phone calls! Only call when They need there rent! So disappointed! 😂😢 the stress They give you makes really sick at this! Update: we Fix the problem by moving out. the mould in our flat became so bad that it was dangerous for my pregnancy. We still get our contract send to us by email every single day and we moved out 1,5 years ago.

After my partner viewed a property we were keen to offer and pay a deposit immediately as we were going on holiday the next day. No response to our request to offer, no offer submitted yet we were told ‘all offers were sent to the landlord and he went with another option’, which I would have accepted had somebody actually responded to our interest or allowed us to offer. Poor process and poor communication.

Dear Warren We are sorry to hear you feel this way. We had 3 interested applicants for the property, including yourselves. There was clear communication between your partner Lucy and our office, which is evident within the email trail and there was nothing to stop you from formally making an offer. As no formal offer was actually made, we took it that you were interested at the asking price and so informed the landlord of your, and the competing applicants’, situation. The landlord attended the office to discuss and consider all applicants situations. After making a decision based on the information received/provided, we informed all applicants via email. We appreciate that this was not the desired outcome and are happy to find you a suitable property in the future. We feel that maybe the 1 star is relevant to the outcome and not necessarily the service your partner had received. Warren, should you wish to discuss the matter we would be happy to assist further. Regards - Laraine Tarrant - Executive Assistant and Sales Progressor

Unbelievable how they are still in business, they're charging me 10% for me to chase rent.

Sadly an awful experience with this estate agent. As tenants, they tried to rip us off on the deposit and I had to take them to the alternative dispute resolution service just to get my money back. I would never use them again. I also phoned up as a potential seller and had a bad experience, poor knowledge of the local market and received no viewings compared to other estate agents who booked in many viewings. DO NOT USE as a tenant, landlord, buyer or seller!

Dear Lawrence, we are sorry to read your review. Regarding deposits - we take instruction from our landlords and refer to the independent inventory reports in order to support any deductions. The alternative dispute resolution service is the standard procedure when a tenant and landlord cannot reach an agreement. The dispute resolution is between the tenant and the landlord, not the agent. Any deductions that result from this process will be decided by an ‘independent adjudicator’. At the point of responding to this review, a proportion of the deposit is still in dispute with the resolution service. Regarding being a ‘potential seller’, we were not instructed to appraise or list your property. Our local knowledge is unrivaled as myself and the owner Michael have lived here our whole lives and still do. We are more than happy to discuss all of this with you in person. Please feel free to visit the office on Wanstead high street or phone us at the office. I’m sure we can be of assistance to you.

The staff are very busy, and two large payment errors have been made

This was dealt with 3 years ago and subsequently reviewed at that time.
