Horrendous , incompetent and guilty of illegal activity. Horsham branch: By far the worst group of people I’ve ever had to deal with in a company. My property is supposed to be “managed” by them which basically involves them continually scolding me and warning me not to speak with my landlady despite my landlady and I having a great working relationship. It became clear why they do this. Most recently they made an illegal attempt to raise my rent by an astonishing £100 this year, far above the average rises. My landlady, and the property owner, told me this was without her permission which she had expressly to,d them they needed. They had increased rent every year previous, highly like;y the same. In terms of managing the property, they have not once helped when the flat needed work, plumbing etc. I had to arrange that all myself. They didn’t help with the alarms going off. In the 5 years I rented from them, they promised on many occasions to get back to me about various issues - not once in 5 years has a single employee at this joke company got back to me or kept their promise, they are useless unprofessional salespeople uninterested and incapable of anything except trying to make a profit or commission. I am moving out now, thank god, and need to check my electricity meter the final bill. Rather incredibly none of them know where it is. They said they would contact my landlady to ask which is in itself ridiculous. I have in the last month trying to move out emailed and called them 5 times to get this simple piece of information. They have never got back to me, I eventually contacted my landlady and asked they’d asked her. She said they did some time ago. Yet no one has contacted me, and further to this my landlady was relying on her understandably hazy recollection. That is not good enough. They are paid to manage the property but are lazy unprofessional and completely incompetent. In order to resolve this I have emailed them again, having had enough of the tiresome disingenuous attitude on the phone. First came an automated response saying she was on annual leave and no one would be checking her emails. Which reminds me that when I was halfway through resolving a maintenance issue once I got cut off and no follow up. I later learnt whoever it was went off on holiday left all their cases halfway done and no one their bothers checking or doing their job. I had no functional water in the sink. They are desk cowboys. I tried sending the email a second time to neither of their employees replying to a previous chain with her. I got another automated response saying no such email there. It’s a joke and I intend to take legal action regarding the illegal attempt at a rent raise. Do not use them or rent through them. When they wanted me ti sign a contract or renew at an illegal raised price they continually bombarded me with communications. Yet when you do sign they can’t be bothered to reply or communicate with you at all and have no interest in managing your property which is their job, a very simple one that requires no skill whatsoever at all. Avoid at all costs,

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'd like to thank the whole team at the Horsham branch for going above and beyond. It wasn't an easy journey the whole time, through no fault of theirs.

I would not recommend Cubit and West to manage your property. They are not reliable. In my case, I have to chase them to do a proper job all the time. E.g. renewal of the tenancy agreement. always delayed getting the tenant to sign. As a result, I lost 2 or 3 months worth of the increased rent... Read Full Review

Cubitt and West are the best company if you are a tenant as they put your needs above those of the landlords who instruct them and pay fees. You don't have to pay market rent as they don't want to upset you and don't worry about paying rent at all they won't even chase it or... Read Full Review

I was a tenant for 6 months and I have to say that Cubitt and West were the worst letting agents I've ever had. They were; slow to deal with issues when I moved in (4 months to fix one of the issues), didn't respond to emails, lack of follow up with Landlord so I had to keep chasing them... Read Full Review

This is the worst company I have come across for customer service in a long time. The attitude of maintenance staff is unhelpful and they were willing to leave a young family without heating and hot water, as well as leaving us locked out of the property as they have no master key.
