Report
I can't rate this company high enough, my daughter was at Carlisle university and for the last two years rented a house, with her peers, from CJ. We as parents were naturally aprhensive having never been in a position as guarantors but we needn't have worried because CJ is one of the most genuine honest people I've ever met. Immediately after meeting CJ at the property we were at ease. The property was good and CJ was quick to act if anything needed doing. Companies don't come along like this very often so I hope he continues to serve for many more years.

Id like to thank you all for making the entire process so smooth and stress-free. Your service certainly stands out from any of the other agencies we've dealt with before. Most of all, the flat is brilliant and already feels like a home! Thank you!

We have recently moved into our our lovely house and were very impressed with the fast and friendly service. Stress and hassle free! Could not have asked for a more approachable and helpful guy in Crawford.

Lived at one of the properties for a year and I have zero complaints. Any problem I may have had was sorted pretty much immediately.

Fab landlord. Best one I've had over the 4 years I've done, couldn't have asked for a more pleasant and helpful guy. The house was well maintained and problems sorted asap. Though you get what you give. If you don't take the piss and do your bit it'll all be rosy! Thanks for having me CJ
