Here again after i thought it was over and done with !!! So me and my wife purchased our first freehold home a new build. we found out that we had a management company for cutting grass maintenance ect... after the first year we had our first bill of £182.50 and I thought this wasn't to bad. coming up to the 2nd year was sent a bill for double that as I hadn't paid enough for the 1st year. so we paid it.]I sold the property march 2016 and had to pay out a further 5-600 for my le1 pack and charges I hadn't paid again. so on sale my solicitor tells me they need to hold back £500 incase I hadn't paid something although I have an email from Atlantis to say my accounts are paid in full and today I find that atlantis have taken a further £386 that I owed them as the end of year accounts have been done. Do not use this company under any circumstances, the amounts you pay rocket . And now 9 months after I sell my property I am still paying for there mistakes and trying to get them to send me proof !!!!... Read more

Used Atlantis in 2014 - The single worst letting agency i have ever dealt with, moreover utter and complete con artists. I left my property in a better state than I received it in and Atlantis still wanted to take my entire deposit and even had the cheek to tell me i owe them further money on top of that. I would urge anyone looking to rent in Reading to go to Haslams, Parkers or any of the other firms to be fair I would also urge homeowners and landlords to stop doing business and encourage them to pursue any depsoit disputes legally as i got a lot of mine back - Just steer well clear of Atlantis. Worst business I've ever dealt with. Just reading some responses from the "owner" on other comments. 1. Andrew Strong is not the owner John Sykes is, why isnt he responding to these reviews? I'll tell you, becuase he is a notoriously bad businessman and a con artist who lives in the Bahamas. Thats okay though we'll ignore that. What about Andrew Strong purporting to not being a letting agency? Pretty sure i rented a house of you guys last year, pretty sure in fact that you cover at least 30% of Reading's letting marekt? Liars, Cheats, Crooks!!... Read more

Atlantis have taken extortionate amounts of administrative fees from my partner and I. They dipped into our deposit at the end of our tenancy and left us with a fraction of the original amount despite there being no damage to the property. Furthermore, throughout the tenancy they found bogus charges to apply to us in excess of £100 each time. Atlantis always responded to emails promptly and they did send workmen round when we had issues. However, the office staff were unfriendly and exhibited unprofessional behaviour such as calling us, threatening eviction etc. to chase money which we had already paid. This happened on numerous occasions and each time they essentially responded with 'oops, yes you have paid this'. They present as a professional company but this does not align with our experience. The money that they have taken from us, though legally sound, is unethical. We were always professional and polite and attempted to find out how they justified the fees applied at the end of our tenancy, however, they never provided us with an adequate answer, instead repeatedly referring us to vague legalese in the tenancy. I only wish that I could have had more foresight and steered well clear. My advice is not to enter into a contract with this company, we have since rented with another letting agency and have had a totally different experience, the business practice of Atlantis is not typical....

Avoid this company at any costs. Every email sent to this company with requests for service (which they should provide as a management company) is ignored. The only time they communicate is when they want payment. If you're choosing management company - AVOID them at any cost.... Read more

An absolutely shambles of a company - they manage my flat and consistently fail to send invoices, try to charge twice for services they don't provide, don't return calls, give inconsistent answers to basic questions... the list goes on. Everybody associated with this firm should be ashamed of themselves, they absolutely couldn't be worse.... Read more

Crooks, plain and simple. Charged for services that weren't provided on more than one occasion, including a nakedly fraudulent attempt to remove £200 from my deposit. Constant mistakes made in scheduling, following by attempts to bill me for the time they wasted. Rude, unhelpful staff who don't respond to emails and, in person, promise whatever it takes to get you out of the office then proceed not to do it. Avoid these criminals at all cost.... Read more

Just heard horrendous comments about this lot????. Property agents are, by nature, an incompetent bunch, but they seem to take "Can't be arsed" to a new low. Avoid like the plague.... Read more

After dealing with this company after the purches of our home I can honestly say the incompetence is unreal. It has taken 7 months to get our service charge in order but only due to me chasing it constantly. Now we in the middle of selling the property I am struggling to get the relevent paperwork I need and this is now holding up the sale and we are getting nowhere fast. I made 2 payments 3 days ago to be told by accounts it takes 3-5 days to clear yet when I call the bank it had cleared within 2 hours of both payments. 2-3 weeks to do an accounts book for our buyer that costs over 300. As if it wasn't stress full enough.... Read more

There is abysmal customer service and then there's Atlantis. Throughout my stay with Atlantis they were atrocious at replying to quite rudimentary queries. It often took weeks for them to reply and we were then passed from one member of staff to another. Upon seeing their card in my wallet a workmate said "Aaron, tell me you're not with Atlantis" and had horror story after horror story. I thought this must be a one-off but, as the reviews below demonstrate, they making being unprofessional an art-form. On the rare occasions we did get through they would be incredibly rude. At the moment I am trying to get my tenancy deposit back from Atlantis. One would assume that the legally enshrined contractual requirement to give this back within 28 days would push them to act. No. We received no contact within 28 days and then, upon calling them several times, we were lied to and passed from one staff member to another. The threat of legal action did not faze Kimberly (our property manager) at all as she just repeated day after day "top priority, I will be in touch by X time" only to fail to deliver. Today, to my amazement, I was told that the person dealing with the deposit was "out at lunch" but when my partner phoned later she was told the individual "was on a week of leave". They now face the Small Claims Court and an official complaint to the Trade Body. Misc complaints: Atlantis ensure that you go with Spark energy for your energy bills as they get a kickback - something confirmed to me by a member of staff. We asked for an industrial clean before we moved in due to a lingering smell of smoke - this did not occur. Mould damage was roundly ignored which I am sure the landlord would like to know. Honestly, you won't be the exception to the rule. Just don't bother with this company as you'll end up out of pocket or frustrated or ignored and quite likely all three. Edit: I note from reviews below that I'll get a reply from an area manager. Can I ask before you even reply why you believe it to be acceptable to breach the contract in relation to the return of a deposit? I am all ears for an answer as none has been forthcoming. ...
