Tenancy review for 45-47 High Street in Victoria, Ashford rented via Mann

Agency rating: 1

Avoid at all cost.
From experience, all agencies in England I've had to deal with are run by people who would be unable to do any other job and who relish being sociopaths.

Mann countrywide in Ashford did not disappoint
Falses promises, huge fees for doing absolutely nothing and the cherry on top: a racist member of staff who pretended not to comprehend my wife's accent, well Kent is Farage central but in a business relationship, this is unacceptable. Just go direct with a landlord no one needs estate agents. The UK must be the only G* country in the world where you don't need qualifications to be an estate agent. The good thing is that with Brexit a lot of these scammers will rightfully go bankrupt.

Property rating: 8

Property and landlord were fine, which was a pleasant change from previous rental experiences in the UK

Area rating: 8

Dull 1990's houses. No crime and no public transport. Schools as in all of Ashford and Kent are overrun by feral children.
