Comment on agent fees
The agents fees were both competitive and reasonable in the current market. Given that we feel the team went the extra mile to secure our sale and keep our chain intact, we felt we got good value.

I was disappointed to read your comments as we pride ourselves on offering a first class service and have an excellent record with landlords and tenants returning to us year after year. We have always been very transparent regarding the fees (which would have been £360 for a couple) and our paperwork clearly states that Tenant Liability cover is necessary through any provider before any client commits to a property. Inspections are carried out on a quarterly basis if the property is managed by ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
been explicit in conversation (not T&C's) about costs. - 60% finder's fee (including VAT, so not the 50% mentioned verbally) - ‚£72 for holding the deposit (which was not mentioned on the phone call where I asked for this service, assuming it would be included as part of the 60% finder's fee to be honest).

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.

Complaints Procedure

We have an in-house complaints procedure through which we endeavour to resolve any issues direct with our management team. If, however any client feels that this is not sufficient, then complaints are directed to our umbrella company, Xperience. They too have a procedure for handling complaints. In addition, we are members of the Property Ombudsman Scheme.
