Borthwicks Sales & Lettings

Do NOT use this lettings agent. We've had TWO bad experiences of them, and know plenty other people who've had more! Unless you're some sort of masochist, leave well alone! Their standard contracts contain all sorts of ridiculous clauses: you have to PAY for a checkout appointment for instance, you don't get that with a professional! They will lie and cheat - they're not on your side!! - they will take as long as they can to give you the deposit back, in our case over a YEAR, and we'd paid all the bills and rent! The houses they let out are in a disgusting state. They don't respect your right to live in the property - they will give people keys and wander in unannounced! If there's a problem (for us, electricity failed) then they'll do nothing - we were without power for a month and they never fixed it! They lied countless times about the deposit cheques being in the post, dragging it out for a year! You can't trust them - we are model tenants, have had lovely experiences with other PROFESSIONAL lettings agents, but these guys really are cowboys. Steer well clear if you know what's good for you.
