  • "Any maintenance issues were dealt with immediately and to a high standard."

Cons:

  • "We moved into the property as replacements of the previous tenants. No inspection was done before we moved in. The house was in a full mess: greasy stove and kitchen floor and gross toilet."
  • "Not only were easy lettings slow to respond, they tried every trick in the book to manipulate us into thinking we had created these problems ourselves and tried to pin the blame on us."
  • "After we moved out of the house our landlord made up silly reasons to try to take away some of the deposit from us despite us giving the house a thorough and good clean."
