I have just joined this forum as I have had the same problem and to be honest, I am  suprised that I am not alone in this.

When I first purchased my house, I used Sue Gardiner (Barwil not Hacienda Management Services) to look after my property.  Big mistake.  She used my property for her own rentals (god knows how many times), it so happens that I found out when I decided to go over to my property and didn't give them any indication that I was coming over, as I used to give them a call in advance.

To my suprise when I walked in, I could tell that someone had been in there as there were childrens toys and used tissues underneath the bed and socks in the drawer, the house was unclean and furniture moved.  We knew that this could only have been Sue renting it out without telling us.  She was very shifty and couldn't look me in the eye when I questioned her about it and demanded my keys back.  I did get some rental money from her, but I really don't know how long this went on for before I found out.  So to be honest, how much money does she really owe me????

I honestly do believe that we have all been conned in some way or another, but think that this started with Sue Gardiner from Barwil and unfortunately carried on through Hacienda Management Services (who may be trying to rectify things.  That's my personal opinion.
