“John & Amanda Treagust - Letting Agents - Murcia”

★★★☆☆

written by on 22/08/2011

We employed John & Amanda Treagust as letting agents,we met them and reguarly exchanged emails with them over aperiod of 7 months. It appears we were mislead, rents charged were higher than we were led to believe, repairs were not carried out and we were overcharged for any additional services or facilities provided by them. We are currently owed rent and deposits collected on our behalf from tenants. We have had to arrange cleaning of the property ourselves and have had the locks changed on the property for security purposes.Is this a familiar pattern of J&A Treagust business operations in Spain,if so,any information related to their current whereabouts, activities, contact details and any persons pursuing them legally to recover monies would be welcome

Good evening, we are French and we would contact you because we rented a villa in Las Ramblas golf at 468 Calle rio segura by the agency Costa Blanca live (John and Amanda Jane Treagust) Those latter turn out to be crooks, we would have if you know the coordinates of the owners of this house (or send them ours) for us to join them in their legal process against the "pseudo agency." Thanking you in advance for the attention you have brought to our request of course a bit special. M Gaborit ([email protected])

“Beware John and Amanda Treagust are advertising...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by Torrevieja on 12/06/2011

Abritel are part of the HomeAway Holiday Rental Group. John and Amanda Treagust of Costablancalive advertised my property on the HomeAway group websites for rental as well as the Costablanca site without my permission. I contacted the HomeAway legal department and asked them to remove my property from their site, my solicitor contacted John and Amanda Treagust and informed them that they were breaking the law and threatened legal action. My property was subsequently removed from the Costablancalive and HomeAway Holiday Rental sites. If you plan to book a holiday rental on any of the HomeAway group websites, i would suggest that you first check whether either John or Amanda Treagust are the agents as they owe myself and many others substantial amounts of monies in connection with holiday rentals

You wouldn't happen to be the owner of 33 calle le levante, Los Balcones, Torrevieja, Spain, 03189. If so we booked this villa for the 21st July for 10 nights and paid the Treagusts in full. We understand we would have to repay but it would be helpful as we are now struggling to find alternative accomodation.

Hi, I feel both sad and angry that so many people like ourselves were taken in by the smooth talking [names removed]. We have lost money and personal items from our home which we unwisely trusted to them. If anything I am more upset about innocent renters and holidaymakers who will trust them in the future so we need to track them down and put them out of business. If I can help those taking legal action just help but the Spanish legal system finds it hard to respond to cases like this, for unknown reasons.

written by on 14/04/2011

Do not book with costablancalive.com or .eu [name removed] is a con man and a swindler, he does not pay his staff or the owners of the properties he lets, he even had properties on his books that were purely up for sale and he used them as holiday rentals for his own gain.
He is now living in the Mojacar area in Almeria, anyone with a letting or estate agency in this area be warned. he was forced to close his other website villasbyphone.com when people that were owed money found out it belonged to him,there are people in the Torrevieja area that are owed thousands of euros by this pair of cheats. He is still advertising on holiday rentals website http://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/p489504 is one of his properties, I wonder if the owners are aware. Calle de levante, los balcones, nr the hospital.

This review is factual as i am one of the property owners that is owed a substantial amount of money by [names removed]. They house hop to avoid people they owe money too. The Fraud squad and Spanish authorities have been made aware of thier activities.
<br/>As well as the site mentioned by the review writer [names removed] have advertised on HomeAway Holiday-Rentals, I have informed this companies legal department and am currently awaiting a response.
<br/>I have been informed that [names removed] are in the Paseo Del Mediterraneo area of Mojacar and I would reiterate with the writer of the review BEWARE

Calle de levante, Los Balcones is the villa I booked through Costablancalive. I would like to contact the owner to see if it is available on the 21st July as we are having difficulty finding availability at such short notice. If you know him could you let me know.

I have commenced legal action against John and Amanda Treagust for non payment of rent and the retention of the keys to my villa. When information gathering I found that John had advertised my property on other sites than Costblancalive without my permission. These sites include Villasbyphone which looks as if it is now closed and HomeAway Holiday-Renatals. With the latter I have had my property removed and Customer Support mentioned that if I know of anyone else in a similar position to contact them and they will remove thier property from thier site. For persons thinking of booking a holiday with John and Amanda BEWARE as they were continuing to accept bookings for my property knowing that the property was no longer available and that the committment could not be fulfilled

Beaware of using the services of John and Amanda Treagust,trading under the name of Costablancalive. I am owed approxiamately e4000 in addition they have left my villa in a disgusting state and have not returned the keys although having been asked on numerous occasions.
I have commenced legal proceedings to recover the monies owed to me and would suggest that some/all of the numerous people owed money by these people take similar action.

Advice to anyone thinking of doing any type of business with this company in Spain - DO NOT GO THERE! Please be careful, I am still waiting for over 2000.00 euros from this cowboy company. Have yet to check my house when the tenants leave to the property. Also had to reimburse my tenants their deposit paid to this bunch as it was never returned to them at the end of the tenancy.

I have read all your comments and must direct you to my website (use BING search engine) that I have started up seeking collective support to both pressurise and 'out' John & Amanda Treagust trading as Costa Blanca Live.co.uk. My website is www.costablancalive-complaints.co.uk where you will see my updates so far. It is imperative that people write to the [email protected] who are investigative journalists and who have expressed an interest. In my website you will be directed to a spanish Public Forum which again is full of sorry tales. John & Amanda Treagust are currently in the UK for Christmas at OTHER PEOPLES expense. It is my intention that they do not get off lightly and I would seek your support.

written by on 11/10/2010

Like other comments DO NOT book anything with this Company!!We have repeatedly asked for our £200 deposit to be returned and realise that this is a hopeless cause. On the rare occasion that John actually answered his mobile phone I was fobbed off with excuses and promised the deposit back in 2 weeks. It has never arrived -surprise!
The Company is totally unprofessional, the villa was dirty, the bed linen was very old and tatty, after repeatedly asking for portable air conditioning units they were bought along but then leaked water everywhere!
Since returning it seems that the Office has closed down because the phones are never answered.
It is a shame that John and Amanda cannot be taken to court because they must owe thousands of pounds in deposit monies to many disappointed holiday makers

I would like to warn anyone considering using 'costablancalive' to seriously think again. On our arrival to Costa Blanca we were greeted with 'I'd forgotten all about you' and then told that the villa we had booked had been reposessed 19 days beforehand. We were given part of a different and, although it was larger than the original, it was far short of what we had expected. Our telephone calls made to the owners were left unanswered and we spent the first 2 days with little more than 3 cups, 2 forks, 1 cereal dish and 4 spoons for a party of 9. On the third day the cleaners came to clean and open up the rest of the accommodation and we were able to use the equipment from those apartments. On the third day of our stay 5 of the group developed ear infections for which we had to request medical intervention. After one week we had a visit from 'cosablancalive.co.uk' who asked us to move to another villa as they were expecting another group the next day.

We obliged and moved to a different villa. However this villa proved to have a catalogue of disasters which serves to prove how unprofesseional the team at 'costablancalive'co.uk 'are.

Since we have arrived home I have tried to claim the security deposit of £200 but have had no response from 'costablancalive.co.uk' and although I have resigned myself to accepting the fact that I will not receive this I feel that you should be aware of the shortcomings of a particular company which is using the 'holiday lettings' site to advertise their property. This experience has certainly made me more aware of using 'holiday lettigns'and I will definately be making my reservations clear to anyone who is interested in booking self catering property in the future.The score is 1 but that is only because I cannot give 0!!!

“Officially NO STARS ”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 05/09/2010

Officially NO STARS
DO NOT touch this company with a bargepole! We rented a 12 bed villa from them in July and had a list of issues with the place on arrival. Many issues before we got there finally ending up in villa no3. There were only 8 beds for a start (first night spent with four of us on setee cushions!) we were then provided with blow up beds! The place was dirty, bed linen 'greasy', blinds broken so one room constantly in the dark, electricity shutting off every 15 minutes (blamed on Spanish electricity, however I lived in Spain and never experienced it!) etc etc. We therefore refused to pay the £200 cleaning charge as we bought cleaning products and cleaned the place ourselves and washed bedlinen. On returning home they have now refused to return our £200 deposit (surprise surprise!) with no justification. We even took photos of the place on departure and it was cleaner than when we arrived. They are not even answering our communication now. Total cowboys! Please stay away from John & Amanda Treguest of Costablancalive.co.uk and their properties.
