Do not deal with these people they are rude arrogant and totally up their own. Their properties are not fit for rats to live in they are infested with fleas and mice and serious amounts of damp and mould. They take advantage of young residents and dont care how bad their properties are as long as they get their overpriced rent paid. They charge extortionate prices for unsuitable and uninhabitable accommodation.

Worst Agency in Dorset. They should be banned from operating. Sent over 10 emails to the property manager 2 years ago and still no reply. Its shocking to see that they ve positive reviews. After examining I ve noticed that most reviews came from friends and family to save their bad reputation

They do really go extra mile to make your life harder. They are ignorant, irresponsive, rude and dodgy. I can strongly NOT RECOMMEND any dealings with Jon Tizzard. They remind me of "Daltons". If You have respect for yourself dont use these guys for your residential or commercial needs.
