Barfordproperty Reviews 

Barford properties blame tenants for everything they can including recurring mould. They insist on using their contractors and no way of sorting it out yourself. Not negotiable. During the rental period they didn't have any problem receiving rent but were slow to assist with complaints.

Extremely disappointed with the service received from Barford Property Services Ltd.

I had several properties supposedly “fully managed” by them but they failed to carry out regular inspections or have the correct documents in place for a tenancy. On discussing the damage left by a tenant and their lack of inspections, they had the cheek to say I should have been doing regular property inspections and reporting back to them!

Barford’s have gone from Diane and John who were the most helpful genuine couple, to new management. A change they tried to bring about unannounced until the receptionist spilt the beans by ringing round for tradesmen prices. It soon transpired other landlords were not aware of the change either, several of which they have now lost.

The impression I got of the new management was arrogance and incompetence, everything rushed, paperwork with basic errors etc, and and generally lacking professionalism. Perhaps, coming from a plumbing background the new manager is simply out of his depth. In my opinion, he needs to get some guidance and training in property management and in particular customer relation/retention skills.

Unhappy with the service received, I’ve terminated all management with them after many years but they refuse to return the overpayment of management fees. That says a lot..

Letting agents are ten a penny so any landlord considering Barford’s consider your options carefully, you’ll not look far to get better service than offered here, that is my advice from personal experience.
