Small Admin fee to start but well worth it as the service I received was professional and friendly. Had a hot water tank that burst in the middle of the night 3am and they had a plumber to the property within an hour and a new tank by 5pm that day. Also got full deposit back at end of tenancy! Will recommend to anyone. TGR

Had nothing but bad experiences with this guy. He screamed at my housemate for asking a question about the contract. The backdoor fell off, the place suffered from severe damp and there was no heating on the ground floor. None of these problems ever got fixed during our tenancy. He took £50 out of each of our deposits despite the house being in a better state than when we moved in. He stated this was for "rubbish removal", there was none to remove. The damp problems are still present and indeed worse currently.
In the past he has been caught for sub-letting properties over the summer period.
He tried a scam this year where he was telling students all letting agents were raising their rent by £10 a week. This was entirely untrue.
If at all possible rent with another more respectable agent.

Had a great experience with this agency. We had several problems with the house that were all quickly fixed. The boiler broke and was replaced the following day. The front door lock also broke, replaced within two hours. Our hoover also self destructed and was replaced within the week.
These are rubbish, steer clear!
Not long been with 'padarn property' but would definitely stay with them. Problems are sorted promptly and the houses ive seen by this agency are up to a brilliant standard. We love u beth and roy....u rock. :-)

Wouldn't recommend! TERRIBLE company who will rip you off.
Steer very clear unless you like giving money away!
Borderline Legal bunch of Gits. Never knew the true meaning of hate until I met them. Also they fired the secratary when on holiday for being nice to the tenants.
Seems to make money housing recovering junkies. Won't tell you this before you rent, you will only tell from the drum and bass coming from your now missing stereo...
Fish (aka Flagitious Fish Fat Fingers)
Acceptable landlord although creepy in a funny way. Gives homes to feckless hippys. Will kill Funcan on sight..
Has the sense to replace smashed windows with plexiglass but only after it's been broken for well over a year.
