Highly Recommended

Highly recommend services and approach of Ian Clark and his team, who managed to get our leasehold property in London completed just in time before new additional stamp duty came into effect.

Having decided to purchase leasehold property in London in mid-February 2016, to get it completed by March end before stamp duty rise was a challenge, in particular with leasehold structure with Ballymore and conveyancing work around this. Ian and his team right from start negotiated price of purchase with the seller for me, continuously worked with seller and his solicitors on daily basis to get this through by time. I found Ian's team very pro active in answering phone calls and any concerns and getting back very quickly which is seen as challenge with some other agents. Even after completion Ian was able to deliver after service by liasing with seller on rental and his other teams to get existing tenants rental agreement sorted.

I am pleased with our purchase and thank Ian and his team for there help in making purchase possible in time and saving us £12,000 in additional stamp duties.

Excellent service and friendly team!!

Would highly recommend Urpad. Friendly team and very professional. Communicated with me throughout the sell of my house. Having had no experience with selling a property before they talked me through the whole process and dealt with the sell for me which was very helpful! Highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell a property!

Fantastic service

I have to admit i was a little bit dubious to begin with but have to say I was blown away by the level of service provided. From start to finish they kept me informed and nothing seemed like to much trouble, if yo have any doubts don't they are brilliant. A special thanks to Paul and Ian

i have dealt with a few letting agents in my time but i have to say none of them came close to urpad. The service they gave me was exceptional, they delivered the service they promised me when i approached them and they were professional to the end. Highly recommend them.

Rogue Trader - DO NOT RENT FROM THEM

AVOID!!!!!!!!!
Finally tracked Tim down to his new company after a lot of hunting!!
Had to involve a solicitor to get my deposit back!!!

We rented a property through his old outfit "Lets Direct" and Tim secured our deposit in a custodial scheme with DPS.

We moved out as my wife and I are starting a family. When we came to move out we actually left the property in a better state than we found it. Quite difficult considering the landlord never even carried out a boiler inspection, let alone any decoration.

On the move out day the landlord turned up without our contract or inventory. He grumbled that the bathroom tap was not clean, was very rude to my pregnant wife and then left.

After waiting weeks, calling and emailing the landlord and lets direct several times we realised that Tim had shut up shop and vanished....

Eventually tracked him down to URPAD because they were advertising our flat to rent. Same guy, same office address, different company. Very Dodgy.

Spoke to Tim and asked him to release our deposit as he was the only one with the power to do this.

Unfortunately he refused as he happened to be chums with our landlord. He had no legal /moral grounds to withhold our money. He was abusive over the phone and we got nowhere.

We eventually had to pay out for a solicitor to get involved and take the matter directly to DPS and we have finally got our money back. About (5 months later!)

URPAD belong on watchdog.
AVOID!!!!!!!!!

****************************
Thanks for your reply. Sorry for any confusion caused. Allow me to clarify:
* Were you the only person who could instruct DPS to release our deposit? - Yes
* Was there any reason not to do so? - No, if there was you would have applied to DPS for any funds owed to the landlord.
* Did you refuse to release our deposit? - Yes
* Did my pregnant wife and I have go to a solicitor just to get back the money you withheld? - Yes
* Is this a way an estate agent should behave?...

Maybe you should take responsibility and apologise instead of squirming.

* Did URPAD re-let that property even though the landlord has had no boiler service in over 4 years? - Yes
* Is that legal? - No

Alan , with reply to your review

Firstly when you moved out of the property your landlord informed us that he was not happy with the condition of the property & emailed pictures to confirm that , when we let you the property we let it under lets direct , over the past couple of years we have been working on setting up urpad online & already had a urpad office 1 minute away from your flat we then decided to re brand lets direct office in fishponds & combine the two companies we have 5 phone lines in the two offices & impossible to have missed several of your calls not dodgy alan just made commercial sense , I have spoken to you regarding this & at no point was I Abusive to you, the issue was between you & your landlord not me ive met the landlord twice & wouldn't fall in the Chum category & I would have never taken sites if he was , we work really hard at urpad alan & confused by your review


Alan , thanks again for your reply ,

We did not Manage this property & acting on the instructions from the landlord not to action this , once again I cannot take sides this was for the DPS to look into & they have , im happy that you have had your deposit back & sorry that its taken so long to sort out , I also have a heavily pregnant partner & understand the stress this can cause good luck with everything

Tim's the man....

I found a great rental through Tim and the deal was done in a jiffy.
His negotiating skills are second to none and he really went out of his way to make it happen, and fast. Thanks Tim.

Gold star service

Came across this company through Rightmove and the 24 hour service is second to none. The agent (Angela) went above and beyond our expectations and secured us our tenancy the same day. Would highly recommend this company.
