<![CDATA[Greater London - Camden - Kentish Town - Home and Garden - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Are you mad??? http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/kentish-town/estate-agents/olivers-nw52ju.html#r51663 I went into Olivers and I had nothing but great service, and it was with Imran, He was honest and straight to the point and didnt waste my time. Sounds like this Amanada C. must have been a nighmare Landlord, lucky escape for Olivers I say. Good luck on your search for new tenants, sounds like you will need it!

]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 09:30:53 BST Why Estate Agents Have a Bad Rep http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/kentish-town/estate-agents/olivers-nw52ju.html#r51645 I am fuming about Oliver's Kentish Town, specifically Imran.What a weasel he stole a tenant from another E/A on my doorstep! He lied and took money from them to secure my flat without a signed agreement by me. I cancelled the deal with Oliver's when I found out what he'd been up to. Unsurprisingly the tenant is no longer interested, I now have to go through the whole process again!! He also cost Oliver's money by paying a photographer for pictures that will never be seen. WHAT A LOSER !!!

If you want your building job completed, let alone carried out to a good or even satisfactory standard, choose another Building company. My daughter (a young single female) was left with no heating or hot water, 1 socket working, a couple of lights, an unfinished roof to the extension and a gaping hole where the patio door should have been, in the middle of winter. The Builders (managed by Michael Barnes) simply walked out saying they had run out of money despite having been paid 96% of the contract cost but only having completed about 65% of the work. This was also a week after the scheduled completion date.

Not only was she left in this appalling situation (incl. plumbing, plastering, electrics etc. still to be done) but it transpired that some of the work that had been done was incorrect and had to be redone.

The company Director (Keith Deacon Ramsay) assured my daughter the matter would be resolved but 2.5 months later nothing has been done to recompense her for the additional costs of bringing in other builders to correct and complete the work. Should they eventually settle with my daughter, I’ll update this review.

In the meantime, you have been warned….

The whole service was just right, but there was almost no "that extra something" that would make me REALLY recommend it to someone. Everyone there is nice and polite.The service is good, and they wont offer you something you say upfront you are not interested in (poor quality flats etc.) although they will try to show you some places which are sometimes overpriced. As usual (I guess its the case with all agents in London) they will politely push you to sign the agreement and pay the money as quick as possible - but thats fairly understandable, right? :-) All in total - good service, nice office, polite people - everything you could expect from a properties agent, but again.. nothing that would make me madly keen about them!

]]> Tue, 03 Jul 2007 19:21:25 BST I don't like estate agents http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/camden/kentish-town/estate-agents/olivers-nw52ju.html#r1325 In fact on the whole I hate them. It's nothing personal but I don't like being lied to... So I have to say Oliver's in Kentish Town are actually pretty good. The one guy I have a lot of respect for is Blu (strange name yes, but like the colour blue without the e). He's never actually rented me a flat so I'm not biased, he's just shown me round a lot of them. I really liked one time we went into a flat he hadn't seen, it was clearly crap and in about 30 secs he said nah, this is crap let's move on... Refreshing... Victor's also cool. He's a bit of a wide-boy (sorry if you ever read this but you are!) but cool all the same. And honest.
