First time we have booked a property with Sykes and will never use again. Cleanliness of the property was very poor and not to an acceptable standard , additional cleaning routines for Covid were totally disregarded. Internal decoration poor , the owner clearly has not updated/redecorated in 10+ years . Also concerns re health and safety, electrics not inspected , damaged pane of glass not repaired . Fire safety only one smoke alarm (battery?) no heat detector in kitchen, property was timber structure and had an open fire, sofas not compliant with regulations. Outside rear arears of property unkempt, outbuildings in poor condition , rubbish left in bags , issues with vermin. Concerns that Sykes have been withholding negative reviews for this property , clearly no recent inspection of the property. Complaint raised with Sykes , but no response.
