To say I am disappointed with Start&co would be an understatement. I have been treated completely unfairly by them, each and every time I have required about or asked to view a property I have always been told âwe will ring you backâ and they have never done so when I am quite urgently looking for a property to let. After calling them back myself on numerous occasions (after weeks of waiting to be called back) they have made me feel that I am being a nuisance and hassling them in the tone and language they have used towards me. I feel that they simply do not care and are only interested in people buying properties as it would benefit them more financially. I really do not understand what they are gaining from this apart from a very, very bad reputation. I could not possibly specify one person as they refuse to provide their name and every person who has answered the phone has been absolutely useless. I would almost go as far as saying I feel discriminated due to my younger age, they will not answer any questions until I have told them my name in which they will use to look at my tenant application form, they are simply not taking me seriously. I have to say this is not the first time this has happened as I have friends and have read from previous reviews that many others are having the same issues. I am very upset and disappointed at this. Sort it out Start

Jun 13, 2018It is always difficult to comment on reviews from anonymous submissions but I am sorry that you have not had a positive experience. Unfortunately, not all tenants are suitable for all of our landlords and properties, and we do have a duty to ensure that all tenants are properly vetted and approved. We do work hard to ensure that our applicants are kept well informed throughout the process, but unfortunately cannot comment on this actual case as we do not know the circumstances or applicant details. I can only suggest that you give one of the partners (Bradley Start, Jonathan Start) a call at your earliest opportunity and we will be pleased to try and help you further.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

I have just been spoken to like a child whilst making an enquiry about a property. When I ask a question, I don't expect answers to include, 'probably and in my experience', I would expect to hear, 'I don't know, I will find out and get back to you' I don't expect to be shouted at.

I found this company to be dishonest and full of rubbish. As a prospective viewer to a property, i asked with caution why as such a beautiful property with period detail and sea views had not sold for over 6 months, they blamed the vendor for not being flexible about offers. We viewed the property ... Read Full Review

I sold the house which I'd owned for some 25 years via Start & Co. They gave me what I considered to be good advice throughout the process, often when it was counter to their interests. The house wasn't priced cheaply and didn't sell fast but at no point was there any pressure from Starts to ... Read Full Review

Where to begin. Start & Co managed my property for 3 years and it was the worst 3 years of my life. The tenant broke pretty much everything in the property but Start & Co just did nothing.

Found Start & co staff to be very rude, arrogant and unhelpful. Have viewed several property's with them and found them to be very dis-honiest. If you have any concern about the property, do NOT take their word for it, they will feed you all sorts of rubbish to get the sale. Estate agents get ... Read Full Review
