Extremely disappointing experience…
Extremely disappointing experience after signing the tenancy
Our experience with International Property Partners has been extremely disappointing, particularly since moving into the property. Before signing the tenancy, communication felt supportive and as though we were being looked after. However, once the tenancy was secured and we had paid over £3,000, that support seemed to disappear completely.
We have only been in the property for one week and have already experienced multiple issues, including a leaking washing machine, extremely stiff and faulty keys, a balcony door that does not properly close or lock, stains in the toilets, orange/discoloured water coming from the showers and issues with the hot water. We have also had concerns regarding WiFi, including being told we would receive one month free, as well as the property being advertised to us with bills included.
The property also has very limited storage, particularly in the bedrooms, with no under-bed storage, and there were no basic household essentials provided. We understand that certain items, such as a microwave, may not be included in the tenancy, but our concerns go far beyond simply requesting additional furniture.
What has been most disappointing is the customer service. When we have raised these issues, we have felt disregarded and spoken to quite rudely. Emails are not being properly answered and certain points are simply ignored while others are selectively addressed. We should not have to repeatedly chase for responses regarding legitimate issues with a property we are paying a significant amount of money to live in.
We understand the phrase “let as seen”, but that should not mean tenants are dismissed when raising concerns about security, maintenance, water, hot water, cleanliness or basic functionality.
Considering the amount we have paid and the fact that we have only been here for a week, we expected a much higher standard of customer service, communication and support. Unfortunately, we currently feel that once the tenancy was signed, we were left to fend for ourselves.
Very disappointing experience so far and, based on our experience, we would strongly encourage prospective tenants to ask detailed questions and ensure everything being promised is confirmed in writing before signing.
