They entered in my flat without calling or sending any text before, once using keys. Ignored every lack of the house, broken windows, broken doorbell, broken ventilation. they reclaim the billing account once i left the flat and ignored me when i asked for the last meter reading. Really an unbelieably bad service.

I recently rented an apartment through Julie Twist. I will say that the initial experience of finding the property and documentation was handled quite well by Sian however it has been severe disappointment since. I moved into the property on the 21st of July, and nearly 2 months on, my bedroom still does not have a door handle (which is a privacy issue and frankly very poor form), half the lights don't work, the chair in the balcony is still broken and various other jobs haven't been sorted, all of which were highlighted even in the inventory report, prior to my move. What's worse is, I stayed

Because yesterday you treated us like dump, today we had to walk in all letting agencies in Manchester to avoid to be homeless after you change your mind, letting us know in the late afternoon, one day before our moving, that you regreted and are no longer in the position of renting us a property (of course after all the referencing done and approved as you stated "all is now accepted" ). I don't know what happened but perhaps it was the same old I have been reading about you: "miscommunication with landlords and duplicated tenants for the same flat". Because we had to do that journey today, because

A very unpleasant experience! I have called this agency regarding a property for rent that was listed only 4 days ago, on a Saturday. I immediately was told off by the agent (Mr. Phil bernado) saying that 4 offers (only) have been presented to the land lord and he is no longer taking offers although the property is only available after a month! I did politely remind him that since there is alot time left and hence a decision has not been made or contract signed, I would like to view it ASAP and make an offer that will match the asking price, he had the audacity to tell me that he will then book

Spoke to a guy called Phill Birnado who was probably the rudest and least professional letting agent I have spoken to. When mentioned we are from a different country the disregard and disrespect was unreal. Do not waste your time with these guys whether your letting or wanting to advertise your property. Absolutely filthy manners.

An absolute joke of an estate agents. I moved into my flat in the centre of Manchester on the 26th of July and there are so many problems with it -
Aircon doesn't work and all windows are sealed closed as its a bottom floor flat we are in the middle of a heatwave its unbearable. The lack of any fresh or cool air is causing my clothes to smell of damp once they have been hung up to dry.
BLOOD stain on mattress
Moths in wardrobes, still living out of suitcases a month in
Rust in microwave
Dishwasher broke
Toilet faulty
All door handles falling off
Faulty plug socket in kitchen.
