What agent could do to change your mind?
Be able to answer simple enquiries over the phone 9 times out of 10 I get told the person who can deal with my request is away on "training" Actually call back when they say they will!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the most frustrating thing of all Communicate requests to and from the landlord in a reasonable amount of time without me having to chase if up When you say your going to do something, do it!!! For example, sending a email that I have to request 3 times or organising work to a property

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

We are registered with the Property Ombudsman redress system. But more important, you can call the Director Eduardo Prato directly on his mobile, day or night, if at any point you're not completely satisfied with our service.
