From our system we can see that we wrote to all the utility providers including council tax in line with the tenancy start and end dates. You were offered an inventory update during a telephone conversation, i agree that this should've been communicated to you in an email. We have learnt from this situation and have adjusted our procedures accordingly. The second tenancy that we did for this property was for a tenant who paid you 6 months upfront, therefore meaning that legally we were ...

Having checked the records a couple of viewings didn't take place as the clients didn't turn up for the appointment, which we understand is very frustrating. Deposit releases are only possible once the Landlord confirms this in writing, and when we received your call chasing this we contacted the Landlord again and arranged release the same day as their email arrived. That said we are sorry that you feel we didn't offer a good customer service as we do aim to provide 1st class service in every c ...
