I will now tell you my experience…
I will now tell you my experience regarding this agency. Husband and I moved in a property in 2020, I was pregnant back then with my first kid. 2 weeks after we moved, the boiler broke. We immediately contacted the agency and let them know, pleas note, a boiler broken is an urgent matter as we had no hot water or heating. They sent a dude that said that thing was older than his kid and he's shocked regarding the state it is in. Well the landlord then asked another guy to come and check it out, dude took 2 more weeks to come and fix it. I spent 3 weeks in total, pregnant and ready to pop, without heating and hot water. Had to boil water on the stove and wash myself like that. We said, whatever, after getting it finally fixed, we minded our own business and didn't bother them with anything else....even started fixing stuff ourselves because we knew we won't get a reply. Well a month ago, we reported rodents and a leak....a LEAK in one of the bedroom, which again please note it's an urgent matter. Reported both and we are still waiting for a reply. We all left the house to visit parents outside the country and surprise surprise when we came back the whole house was covered in rat/mouse poop and pee. During this time, I kept sending them emails regarding these issue....nothing....they only send back automated messages that "oh we tried to contact landlord" or "we are sorry landlord didn't answer, we'll keep you updated". Right.... When I called the guys on the phone was mocking me that "oh, you guys never seen a rat or had one in the house?". Really? You're telling me, that I should just accept the fact that there is a rodent going crazy in my house and made me throw good food because you couldn't get bothered to bring someone to kill it.... I won't even being the leak in the discussion, when something is labeled as "urgent" and you take over a month to fix that issue...that's not an urgent matter then. Please avoid this agency, they don't care about you as a tenant and won't help you out with the issues you have. They are very fast to send renewal contracts with 3-4 months before your tenancy contract expires and email you every day until you make up your mind and even call you, but won't do anything if you contact them with a problem.
