Julie and the team have looked after the letting of my canton flat for years. They have always given me great advice and worked hard to find suitable tenants. This time, a tenant was found on the first day of viewing! Outstanding stuff! Highly recommended.

We rented with Squarefoot for a couple of years and had our faith restored in estate agents. Tara and the team are real professionals who responded quickly to any issues we had with the property. They were very accommodating regarding contract renewal, and we felt respected as tenants throughout the tenancy. The inventory was handled by third party clerks and the deposit was returned fairly.

We rented a property for 3 years from Squarefoot until 2015. Generally they left us to our own devices (FYI landlords: if they are billing you for regular inspections you are being ripped off, because they barely ever happened when we were tenants in a managed property). However, when problems did arise they turned into the kind of agent who has no issues with gaslighting tenants. The biggest issue we had with them was at the end, when they allowed the landlord to try and move someone in a day early (we were shifting our final bits and in the middle of deep cleaning when new tenants turned up

Overall their service was good throughout my 2 year tenancy, however on occasion there were some emails which didn't have the best tone. I'm also a bit disappointed that upon leaving the flat I had a year of scaffolding on, they've charged us 220 for cleaning through a third party. Wiping down water marks on shower screens do not cost 20. I won't be using agencies going forward as it appears they accept anything a cleaning company tries to fob the customer off with. A shame really as up until then the ladies at the estate agents had been relatively helpful.

Tara and the team at Squarefoot are amazing. With the whole COVID-19 situation they were always on hand to offer support and answers through sales and lettings. Cannot recommend enough as a landlord.
