Thank you for your kind review. I am sorry if you felt Corrine was impolite, please be assured this was not her intention. You were not charged £250 administration fee. Please contact the office for another breakdown of the costs that explains what you were charged, we are more than happy to supply you with another copy. No tenant is charged for a contractor to attend a property, unless the reason an item that requires attention is the tenant's responsibilty. I am not sure why you woul ...

Your company had plenty of opportunity to respond to my complaints accordingly whilst I was a tenant. Sadly they failed to do this, hence my poor review. I got the result I wanted in the end, namely getting my full deposit back and no longer having to deal with the substandard level of service your agents provided. I also don't see how you can fairly look into any of, as you call them, my allegations when your company's level of record keeping and ability to pass messages on to the relevan ...
