Report
GLS has been very bad particularly poor communication. Emails and messages are frequently ignored or left unanswered, even after multiple follow-ups. The office is rarely open and when you do see someone (Richard Vasey and Gavin Smith) they are unhelpful and dismissive. The lack of communication and the inaccuracy of documents provided made the process frustrating and inefficient. Nobody takes any personal responsibility for providing answers or information that are required and part of their role. I would strongly advise others to think carefully before engaging with this company for any of their services.

Recently moved into a new home through GLS Properties. Had a great experience dealing with them and found the information about the property concise and well explained. The viewing we had was relaxed and the person attending from GLS was very professional.

Gavin has been very helpful and flexible in our various dealings with our tenants, with services ranging from tenant finding and referencing, debt collection, arranging repairs, sorting keys and anything else we care to ask of him.
Mike Bailey
We used Gavin to market a rental property. He acted in a very professional way, found us a tenant quickly and unlike most agents always answered his phone.
Tennison
the agent, Gavin Smith, showed us around the property. He gave us plenty of time to look around and was very accommodating, even letting us come again the next day so that our son could view it. All of our dealings so far have been very acceptable.
J. Pedder
We are very please with the way GLS Properties managed to sort simply things our last managing agent simply ignored. They have even been able to lower our service charge for next year. If we ever have any problems Gavin is available to call at all hours. I am so pleased with this premium service.
