The only small negative I would mention was that the initial sale price RAH suggested the property be marketed at was very high compared to the offers we got and what it ended up selling for. However, we do understand that the market can be unpredictable, and to be fair to RAH, the other agency we initially contacted gave the same suggested sale price, so this was not unique to them! Overall, a great experience and highly recommended.
I would definitely recommend this estate agent.
During this time, they endangered my citizenship application by taking more than 6 months to produce a rental agreement, which meant I was unable to provide proof of address. The first two property managers were unresponsive and unhelpful despite repeated emails, calls and visits to their office.
The agency regularly raised my rent until it became unaffordable (30% rent increase in 18 months). I know for a fact this was the agency encouraging the landlord to raise the rent, because before RAH took over, the landlord had been very reasonable.
When I moved out, they tried to unfairly withhold my deposit, claiming I had left the flat dirty and damaged. I contested this through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, who immediately ruled in my favour as RAH were unable to produce any proof of their claims.
They are unresponsive, incompetent, money-hungry and outright hostile at times. Early on, I sent a letter of complaint to the company directors. Their response essentially said that this was the level of service they provide to all their customers so I would just have to live with it.
Renting from RAH was an unbelievably frustrating and stressful experience, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I would advise all tenants to stay well away from this agency.
