Exactly as described

Second time using Barlow & Oakes Lettings, first was a couple of years ago. Fees are clear, £1,700 a month for full management. Even sorted a small extra thing for free. Very happy.

Slow but got there

Mostly good. Communication could have been better in the middle bit. Would probably still use them again though.

Took a while

Decent, a couple of things were missed first time round but they came back to sort it.

Inventory was thorough and fair at check out. Reported a leak on a Sunday and someone was out Monday morning. Exactly what I asked for, nothing more nothing less. Job done.

Good overall

our contact was helpful. The rest of the process was a bit slow. Might have been unlucky.

Not bad

Good at finding tenants, less good at communication once you are in. Hopefully it was a one off.
