Alarming Incompetence: Urgent issues not dealt with

Unfortunately my experience is very similar to the reviews that are already posted here which is frustrating and alarming and should set off alarm bells for any respectable company who wants to remain viable. I’ve never seen so many negative comments levelled against a company. The pain point for me is reporting urgent issues that never get dealt with, the high turn over of remarkably incompetent agents (bar 1 or 2) who have no idea how to communicate or execute their role or assume any level of responsibility. A company that has such high turnover is a red flag in itself. There’s obviously no adequate training or retention strategy to encourage employees to develop in their role or stay. Senior management don’t seem to exist or just hide behind their front line colleagues. Anyone with that title working for Marsh and Parons needs to re-educate themselves on what management means. Specifically for us, how long should a family have to wait for a replacement fridge after the door falls off twice on the floor ?? We’re now waiting 5 days for a solution with me chasing daily as the agents in charge don’t seem to comprehend a sense of urgency and when I ask to escalate , there’s no-one from senior mngt available to speak with. A fridge is a vital appliance and this situation is getting stressful. We’re also waiting 7 months on a leak in a roof that’s causing rain water to pour onto the kitchen table, a gate pillar that’s wobbly and can fall onto a public footpath and dampness thats creeping through the property and needs to be managed. The response is we can’t reach your landlord or we’ll chase that so the onus is back to us to keep chasing …we pay our rent every month without fail, maintain the property to a very high standard. As a landlord myself I would never dream of using such an unprofessional and incompetent agency to have anything to do with my property.
