For many years I was a Romans tenant but because my landlord dealt with maintenance issues I didn't have much to do with them. When I left that flat I found out what they were like.
The lady that was due to do the inventory looked in the flat and saw a couple of suitcases, said she couldn't work with that and she had somewhere else to be. I could have cleared the place in 2 minutes but because she had such a foul attitude I didn't argue and was happy to let her go, with the promise that a colleague would be there to complete the inventory later the same morning.
The lady that completed the inventory about an hour later was excellent, however Romans were adamant and insistent they would charge £150 for the delay. The delayed checkout fee should only apply if checkout is delayed by a full day.
I had checked if there was any rent outstanding and been told that there wasn't. They then waited until the morning after the payment date and woke me up with a text containing a statement, needless to say together with a fee for late payment.
I made sure I got the full deposit back, and very nearly sued them for my time. Anybody can do that - just send them an invoice and register at Moneyclaim.gov.uk (make sure invoice is over £25 to be enforcable).

I had the disgrace of renting with this people. They got late to the viewing by half an hour. I did not have news about whether the contract was ready until the day before I wanted to move (with a day off, man and van, everything booked I still didn't know if I was allowed to move) after giving them several thousand pounds. Full managed house and none of the appliances were working, all needed to be repaired. the storage room was full of rubbish, offered to get rid of it so I could use that part of the house and they delayed it. Had the shower leaking for a month, only got an answer after calling head office. The routine reviews included making photos of personal objects. When gave my notice to leave, I got an email saying that they would tell me when the house was in the market, but actually, before the notice, I had an email saying that they had already booked viewings for my house without permission and without asking me what would be a good time. Did professional photos of the house, probably to advertise it whilst I was still living there, therefore they'll make public photos of my decorations and items. When asked them for a reference for new agent had to follow them for a whole week to give them money to release it. Their practices are totally disrespectful and made me feel powerless and humiliated for having to give them huge amounts of money for treating me like that. If you are reading this before you give them your house to market it or before moving to a house managed by them I do not recommend it!

They have failed me several times in particular by sending the wrong documents and trying to charge me more than agreed.

Than I booked another property for viewing on Saturday with one of MariAnna's colleague and didn't get any confirmation I called on friday to confirm and again MARIANNA picked up the phone and told me that this tenant dosn't allow us on Saturday but I will double check . I said it's ok but your colleague should know this at first place before booking me in and she replied in her typical Very rude behaviour that's all we can do. I am extremely unhappy with service

What a joke! I'm guessing that the majority of these (good) reviews are fake. As a renter, I have never dealt with a more difficult agency. On several occasions they have directly contravened terms of my lease (attempting to put the rent up by an extortionate amount/organising non-emergency visits without the requisite 24 hours notice/not fixing things such as a broken boiler in February/sending in workmen to 'fix' things who actually make the problem worse/etc) I could write an essay on the trouble we have had! And that's before I even get started on the extortionate fees they charge! All I can say is thank goodness for the government deposit scheme as I know in the past friends have had the same sorts of issues and this agency has then attempted to withhold their deposits - at least they can't do that any more. I feel one star is generous.... But, alas, it won't let me award zero!

I unfortunately rented with this agent. Avoid them as much as you can. They are totally incompetent and will never help to fix any problem you may have.
I dealt with Matthew Pulford at the beginning; he was rude and and showed he just did not care at all. He was a total disgrace, never replied emails and forced me to contact the landlord directly. Guess what? once I contacted the landlord and complained about him he was all calling and asking but even then he was rather a waste of space.
I dealt with Matthew Hembra when I ended my tenancy; he just lied to me and was only interested in getting as much as possible from the deposit. He lied when he said he was going to stop the utilities for us (I had to do it myself at the end).
All together I had a very bad experience with this agency and will not recommend them to anybody.

I was a tenant of a property let and managed by Romans and I had two major complains in the 10 month period I was renting. Overall their service was very unprofessional and poor so if you can, avoid them as a tenant. They are also more expensive than most other agents for most services. I had several boiler problems and had to stay in a hotel on 2 different occasions as there was no heating and hot water for several days. Romans had offered that we do not do professional cleaning at check out as compensation for the inconvenience but in the end they hold £300 of the deposit and after complaining reduced to £200. On another occasion they send me an email saying that I need to pay ~£250 for a contract change, although their reason for asking this was not valid and they didn't even bothered to call first to check with me.

When I got properties claiming to match my needs and called up in Roman's no one knew anything regarding the properties and told me the properties in question did not accept pets.

After renting this property for many years from a previous agency, it was badly in need of servicing and repair, virtually no upkeep work having been done. Romans took over the letting and in the space of a year we have had a new kitchen put in, double glazing on all windows, repairs to walls and gutters, and prompt responses to all other ad-hoc requests. Highly recommend the agency and the member of staff that we deal with.

Services : Letting( As a Tenant )Date: 4th Feb 2013
We rented our property over a five year period with it undergoing a change of agents half way through our tenancy period. Romans were the final agents on this property and we can gladly say that the services was excellent although it got off to a bit of a slow start. Our first Agent from Romans was not up to the task although it may have been only to undertake inspections and deal with any issues that may have arisen, we felt very let down by the service she provided. Having said this, Romans quickly rectified the issue and appointed Judy to oversee ore property. What a difference. She was not only friendly, helpful and organised but we felt her to be proactive in getting items sorted that to us where not a problem.
Through out the remaining period of our tenancy we had the assistance of Judy who undertook numerous visits, arrange both repairs and replacement of appliances that had broken but also struck up a well appreciated friendship based on trust, honesty and the willingness to put both our and the clients needs first.
On our departure from the property, Judy made the process very easy, stress free and gave us the opinion that if we ever had to use the agency again, we would not only be glad to but have recommended it to others.
Judy, many thanks for all your hard work and good luck with the new tenants.
Kind regards,
