Report
I had a short but horrible experience with this agency. Booked a visit for a flat, showed up on time but did not received any details regarding the agent's identity. As a result, we could not visit it and left after calling 3 times their phone number, the agent being unreachable. We were really interested by this flat, so we called again to ask for a virtual viewing or a video of the flat, but could not say a word as the agent kept on blaming me and speaking over me.
After acknowledging an issue of miscommunication, she confirmed that she would send a video, but nothing was ever received from my part. As much as I understand that the demand for properties in London is enormous, there is no use to be so impolite and obnoxious with their customers. I will never rent a flat from this agency because of their lack of consideration for people's time, and I do not recommend them.

We were waiting on the grass! Do you remember this sentence Miss? Go away from this agency! We waited for 1 hour for a visit and we called the agency 3 times during this period. No answers and no news from the agent. Try another agency. You will save time and money!

From start to finish Drivers & Norris helped with every element of trying to lease our new office space, which wasn't necessarily a straightforward setup. Every question answered, untold amount of viewings, and really helping to make the process as smooth as possible. Massively appreciative! Big special thanks to Ben Alcock as well.

The whole process with Drivers and Norris has been exemplary, I have moved many times and this has been the most efficient so far and the agents have been incredibly understanding and kind. They have helped me move swiftly through the process to renting a flat that's right for my needs and they really make an effort and take the time to understand you and what you need.
