Great communication & technology but inaccurate rental appraisal.

Great communication & technology but inaccurate rental appraisal.

Communication was brilliant, they made the process seamless and the technology/systems used such as Tapi and PropertyMe are very slick and professional. Members of staff super friendly & helpful (both Sally & Jasmine). However, the rental appraisal we received was way higher than rent actually attained. Possibly a tactic to bring new clients onboard.

Pretty good

4.5/5 Start to finish was very smooth, a face to face contact would have been a bit of a bonus to answer some random questions for first time renters but otherwise great experience.
