As the owner of a holiday home in Cornwall I have never been so let down by a letting agency. Our home was completely ruined by a family from London, gate posts broken, furniture broken, litter scattered around the garden, buckets of sand left in the shower room, 10 sacks of rubbish left stinking in the corridor - I could go on - Sykes weren’t bothered - referred us to their insurance company who we’ve never heard back from 6 months on. Such an upsetting experience, when I tried to cancel further bookings, I was fined! A letting agency I can never recommend to owners of holiday homes - they will charm you into taking your property then drop you like a stone when you need help - be warned!!
