Very poor service, can't complain more. I will not recommend my friend to rent form this agency. Every dialogue makes me feel unrepeacted.

Excellent, both my wife and myself lived in a property for around ten years handled by Hutton Parker. We suffered with a bad landlord that had no interest in doing anything with the property unless it was forced on him. Hutton Parker did everything they could to support us throughout our time there. Thanks again guys!

The house on Sunningwell road which they wanted to charge 1,600/month for was an absolute abomination. I don't think they should be allowed to rent it out before refurbishing it and making it worth someone's money.

Report
Took over 2 months to receive deposit back after having to chase them 3 times. Deducted 100 deposit without reason or email response. Had to call another 2 times to be given an email address to contact instead. Never received a reply. Friend also rented a room from them also had 100 deducted with no email or reason was unable to get a response via email or call. Would not recommend.
