Staff seem very unhelpful, poorly trained, and misleading. After waiting for weeks for a reply from a property manager that was chasing our landlord I had to chase again for an update to be given a rude and empty response stating she had tried to contact the landlord and we would have to continue waiting for a response. Unhappy with this I emailed her manager to complain as I have been treated very unfairly and never like this with an agent before but still no reply... Apart from a call from the agent I rented the property with to ask if I was still interested in renting a house (two months after I moved into one of their property's! As I really didn't have a choice I had to contact the landlord directly even though this is a MANAGED property which I was informed choices had not tried to contact the landlord at all! All the staff have been misleading and uncaring with no urgency to help at any point. The only member of staff that seemed to be polite and do as she promised was Hannah she was very helpful. I have informed my landlord we will be moving out at the end of our tenancy unless he changes agents.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS AGENT. They rented me a flat with a broken window withholding the fact that it was broken until I moved in and found out- curtains were over it when I viewed it, hiding it. They failed to fix it for the entirety of my contract, after I complained several times- they knew I would ... Read Full Review

I made an offer for the apartment with my agency and turned out the property was managed by Choices, so it was not up to me to decide who to work with.

I have been warned by friends not to go to Choices but the reviews said otherwise. Well I can honestly say that the hell started after we signed the contract. First, they knew from the beginning that we have 2 cars, me and my 2 flatmates, they only gave us one gate key and no parking permits which... Read Full Review

Comments on Agent Fees

Exorbitant. In my case, Choices company director emailed that the Office of Fair trading and The Property Ombudsman have asked Choices to agree a fair fee to release clients from the terms of their contract. However, in practice Choices have not set a standard fee for this option, and in my case the fee was exorbitant, but worth every penny as I am so relieved that I no longer have to deal with them.

I would steer clear of them in the future. Beware of them deducting for any false claim they can when you move out. Always inspect the Inventory Check-In and get a copy of it, and be sure to point out every little thing and have it included on it, or be charged on the way out! Also, I was misled...
