Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend, especially if you are renting through them.
I’m really disappointed with my experience. The people I’ve spoken to have always come across as polite and approachable, which made me feel initially reassured. However, that hasn’t been reflected in how my situation has actually been handled.
My main issue is with my deposit. It has now been over 2 months, and I am still waiting for a proper response or resolution despite following up multiple times. This has been frustrating and stressful, especially as it feels like there’s a lack of urgency in dealing with something that matters a lot to me.
Each time I call, I’m directed to the lettings team, but they often seem unaware of my case or any previous communication, even after I’ve been in touch repeatedly. This shows a clear lack of internal communication and coordination.
It’s disappointing because the conversations themselves feel positive, but the follow-through just isn’t there. I was expecting a more efficient and transparent service.

We are sorry you feel this way.
As you are aware, we have now received the necessary quotations relating to the damage at the property and have been working to reach a fair outcome for both parties.
We understand your frustration, however, matters involving deposit deductions do take time, particularly where evidence and contractor quotes are required.
The next step is for the matter to be referred to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme who will review everything independently and contact you directly.
We appreciate that this is an important and sensitive matter and If you would like an update on the current position before it progresses to TDS, please contact the office and we will provide this.
