It’s hard to write this review, because really all the companies that I dealt with when moving here weren’t all that great. The prices were fairly decent for their fees, but they just nickle-​and-​dime you everywhere else along the way. If you want to renew your lease, well then pay us more money. For what, exactly? And I did pay the fees for them to inspect the place when I moved in — and some things were not in working order when I moved in. Additionally, the things that I asked them to fix, they didn’t fix. The place had mold all over the ceiling near the bed. I asked to have that taken care of — it was not. The electric shower was NOT working when I moved in — which was painful at best (cold showers in England? NO thanks). They could have figured that out if they had actually done their job, and inspected the place properly. Even the guy that came to fix it wondered why it hadn’t been taken care of prior to my moving in. The shower was all stopped up when I moved in as well — yet another thing that I had to take care of on my own. And after paying them to do it? Unacceptable. Finally, the place was not clean when I moved in. The agent acted like I was to blame for having high expectations. But I think that if a place has hair and dust all over, it’s not clean — regardless of level of expectations. Also, there was goo in the fridge, and the freezer was filled (and still is) with freezer burn. I can hardly get anything in that freezer. I did do some work to get some of the ice out — and this was even noted on the check-​in paperwork. Why didn’t you fix it??? I just get so annoyed when I think about this stuff. It’s so half-​assed, and I don’t understand why one doesn’t take more pride in their work. Alas, MJ does not.
The change-​over of electricity and water were painful b/​c my flat had been listed as a business, rather than residential — that was extremely annoying. It just would have been nice had MJ known that, and either taken care of it, or warned me that it was going to be so painful. It took months for me to get the electricity figured out (also b/​c EDF stinks).
Overall bad experience, and I would not use MJ to help me find a flat again.
