Comment on agent fees
The landlord was terrible any compliments about minor faults where never carried out! A verbal promise to "clean the carpets" was never carried out and now that's trying to be taken from the bond I placed down. The heating dial never got mended. The lino was scratched from previous tenant as cat decoration was horrid. Wasn't aloud to make the house feel homily. No nails or anything to even hang a mirror up. It was like living in their house how they wanted it to pay their mortgage. As it was my first time renting it will certainly be my last! And I would advise people to never trust the estate agents and landlord make sure everything is in writing with photographic evidence.

Our property managers should have been managing our property in accordance with the tenancy agreement. They should have ensured that 'the property was kept clean and well aired at all times'. When it clearly wasn't they should have informed us and given us chance to end the tenancy. I know we all have personal standards on cleanliness, but Blundells tolerance of filth and grime is breathtaking.
Perhaps sending the property managers on a course to spot the difference between a well maintained, and a neglected property
