Company you have to watch out for as service is very poor for a large company , I you contact this branch regarding something wrong in your property they dint seam to do anything about it and you end up chasing it up direct with your landlord that they say they can not get hold of ! . Secondly they lose payments making out its your fault when its not on more than one occasion ,The main thing with this branch is to always note down with every conversation is a full name time and date (even record and calls or in person conversations with them as if there is a problem further down the line and its been there fault they will deny everything) Always have proof .Wish i did !

Renting a home has many pro's as well as many con's. I can speak from all angles as have rented myself in the past, worked for a letting agent and am now renting out my own home whilst living with my partner. When I rented my flat, my landlord was an angel. I lived on my own and so things like plumbing in my washing machine etc my landlord did himself. I did have a few problems with the property, but these were all sorted out with a simple phone call to my landlord who would come and sort the problem out within the week. The down side to renting I felt was that you would have to get permission to redecorate and have your plans approved and also the rent was ...  Read the complete review
