Crescent Lettings

The place looks nice with modern furnishings and they have fixed things when we requested. They have stored some of their furniture for me since i don't need it, they are polite and the price is reasonable... BUT, The elevator is broken very frequently. It is broken right now so I have to hand carry my baby's stroller up and down 5 flights. It was broken when my wife was in a wheelchair and she had to limp the stairs. Oh yeah, it was broken when we moved in so we had to schlep 1500 lbs of stuff to the 5th floor. Its like a dorm, people smoke pot constantly and the management does nothing about it (but post signs) even though it is a violation of fire code. They said I could LOCK my bikes up in the basement and they were promptly stolen since the racks are fastened with standard screws. Another person had the same thing happen a few months after me and I noticed some racks missing when I first arrived so this seems to happen on a regular basis and they do nothing but post signs disclaiming responsibility. There is a washer but no drier for clothes and I am pretty sure they told me different when I was shown the property. The trash bins are very inconvenient to get to and cannot be accessed with the lift (wouldn't matter today though), you must climb at least 2 flights of stairs. If you move here, now you know what you are getting into.

We've been trying to contact this company for a month now and are being ignored. Several defects with the property are unresolved and they are refusing to respond to ANY of our communications. They haven't even given us our meter readings so we can start paying our utility bills. The other review here is clearly a self-written ad. We were forced to pay six months rent ahead of time (as we just arrived from Canada I suppose we look like real marks). My original letting agent has been in touch with our contact at Crescent Lettings so I know we have the contact information correct - we are just being ignored.

Take your business someplace else.

As a busy landlord of several properties I decided to seek the assistance of a property management company to handle my affairs rather than run things myself. Their services include a fully managed rental or just a tenant finder if required. From the start they have been throughly professional, the properties have been filled very quickly each time with just days between tenants so no loss of income to myself. The staff have been informative every step of the way and are very curteous. I would throughly recommend this company to any other landlords/developers looking to rent their properties.
