Courteous and professional, purchase went smoothly and kept me in the loop. One thing I would add would be to self introduce yourselves guys when answering the phone but apart from that I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for your patience and help.

This page used to be rated 2 stars and now it has gone to 4. 100% fake reviews. I used them for two years not out of choice and i promise you with my life, they will scam you out of your deposit. I think the running cost of owning a house, they pay that with our deposit. We cleaned our house fully but there was bit of stains on the carpet and just for that, they charged us 650. Professional cleaning would have cost of us 50 probably.
Anyway. If you have no choice but to use them, make sure you take pictures when you first arrive at the house and then send it to them on email for evidence.

I've noticed that there is quite a few fake reviews on these people. While I was a student and a tenant I had a bad experience, they have staff who are incredibly arrogant and completely useless. They also stole around 500 in deposit deductions from us for a property that was left in a very good state with no breakages.
