I am sorry to read your 1* review, I understand you declined the Rent Guarantee when taking out the Advanced Rent Option and receiving 12 months rent in advance when you let your property and now the tenants are unfortunately in rent arrears. We have provided you with the full information and next steps with regards to eviction and await your response. Kind regards, CHOICES

Rachel Nichols is an excellent property manager.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with Rachel Nichols for a few years now, she manages my rental property in the Croydon area. Rachel is brilliant at her job! She is professional,friendly and quick to respond,furthermore she is an able problem solver when issues arise with my tenants.I always feel confident knowing that Rachel is managing my property and I highly recommend her.

Deceptive & fabricating

Deceptive & fabricating
i rang to arrange a viewing on a flat i saw advertised on rightmove. The ad stated that it was first uploaded to rightmove June 2024. After I'd clearly stated the address the agent immediately said that is the one which is under offer but yes you can still go to see it. I pointed out that it seemed odd that the flat had been on the market 10months and now is suddenly under offer. He then said he'd made a mistake and was terribly sorry, he'd misheard the address and was referring to another flat. I gave my details and situation and he had a chat with me about my situation.
I asked if i could view the flat the next morning, he declined saying his colleague wasn't available/had other viewings elsewhere then so i asked if i could arrange a viewing in a week. He said perhaps.
He then started saying once more that the flat was under offer. I pointed out that he had just told me he'd made a mistake and had indicated to me it was another flat but he said this flat was under offer. I commented it seemed odd that the flat had been on the market all that time and was now under offer. He went into a story about how there had been an awkward tenant who had blocked viewings by not being available but now it was empty and an offer had been made. The buyers financial status was currently being checked for authenticity.
I feel as if i caught the agent out and he'd been trying to backtrack, he was trying to create a sense of urgency by saying it was under offer. BS if you ask me, he scorned me saying he was trying to help me. How is it helping by pretending a place is under offer, i bet anything this piece of info is dubious, all UK estate agents distort the truth, either by advertising photoshopped pictures or telling you BS about how there has been SO much interest, i'm sure there has!

Having checked with the branch concerned, there was a genuine initial miscommunication regarding which property you were enquiring about. However, there was complete transparency regarding the situation with the outgoing tenant/offer to purchase that had been made, which at the point you called required authenticating.

We understand your disappointment with this; however, we would be delighted to assist you with your property search and the office can be contacted on 020 8680 1699 should you wish to further discuss your property requirements.

Worst people I have seen...

Worst people I have seen...they don't care ...they just don't care...they leave you in mould and disrepaired house fir a year still they want the visits ...after their regular visits they don't fix the problems...I was living in this mouldy house yet paying correct amount of rent...after 1st year when the idiot landlord tried tent increase, they didn't fight for me...on the contract renewal they did the whole referencing process and told me that we are renewing the agreement...then next morning out of nowhere they called me and said that idiot landlord is not happy to proceed.
This is a useless company to work with.

Choies have been excellent

Choices have been very good. the flat has been managed by them for 18 years and although some bills were missed every now and then we have established very good communication and understanding facilitating the property as on overseas landlord.

Particularly Shiquerah and Satheeskumar have been amazing to work with : )

Landlord and tenants beware.

Landlord and tenants beware.

I am writing this review from a landlord and tenant perspective.

Repairs that should be looked into immediately are ignore which are damaging the property i.e leaks. You have to constantly chase them. I have outstanding repairs going over a year that are still not fixed.

From a tenants perspective, they are only concerned about the Landlords wishes. You can be without heating, water and even gas cooker for weeks just because the landlord wants his own contractor to attend to the repair which could leave you without heating, water and gas cooker for weeks and Choices do not care about the impact on you. Anyone that wants proof of all this let me know as it is all on email. Awful service.
Property manager once told me to use the oven after being without heating and hot water and no gas cooker for over a week. Absolutely shocking!
They need to be investigated.

I am sorry to read your review after our discussion, your landlord wishes to complete all works himself by his own contractor, Although it is incredibly frustrating when breakdowns occur, they always endeavour to complete the works as quickly as possible.

Great customer service

Had a major leak in my flat, needed a month's worth of work in my room and I was ill.

Robyn Copperthwaite made sure I had a different room to stay in whilst the work took place and he made sure I was properly compensated financially.

The staff at Choices work hard to ensure that you have a well checked, decent standard of living, regardless of any setbacks that might happen in life.

Great people, thank you Robyn
