Staff across the Quinton branch deliver prompt, attentive support for buyers and sellers. The team, and the team are frequently named for their professionalism, clear updates, and patience especially with first-time purchasers. Lettings clients report smooth processes and regular communication. On the lettings and management side, serious gaps emerge. One tenant endured a non-functional boiler for two months without urgent intervention and received a rent increase issued incorrectly, then substantially increased after repairs eventually happened. The review details allegations of non-compliance with UK tenancy law and lack of transparency from management when questioned.
