I rented a flat from Aitch Group for 3+ years in Hackney and the service was very high quality. They were responsive and quick to resolve all maintenance issues and fair with regard to rent increases and security deposit return. Highly recommended.

If your landlord is Aitch Group, not even think of renting the flat. Run away. I've rented a flat called Lutheran Mews on Dalston Lane. You could also witness murder scene at the site of building. Even though it's a modern flat, there are mice, but having a mouse at home is not that bad compared to dealing with the agents of the landlord. Agent called Nikki is the worst.

AVOID THIS COMAPNY's PROPERTY AT ALL COST!!! As a landlord, they are the worst possible people. As a freeholder, it's up to your decision to take it or not!
FYI. it seems like they are a little bit better as being a developer than bing a landlord.
