![]() BenT on 19th Dec 2022 1 Star Review I never received my security deposit back after my AST agreement ended. The agent said landlord has it and the landlord told me the agent has it. The agent was handed the monies and never provided any deposit certificate. I wrote a letter and complained but never received a response. I went to The Property Ombudsman (TPO) and they advised that Irwin Fisher are not a member of The Property Ombudsman (TPO) and never have been a member so can't look into the complaint. This is interesting as on Irwin Fishers website they claim they are TPO members and using their logo. If you have any issues with Irwin Fisher, The Property Ombudsman will not look into your complaint as Irwin Fisher are not TPO members.

![]() jbarretta on 23rd Dec 2020 1 Star Review I have not had a good experience with this estate agent. I paid a security deposit and at the end of my AST agreement the agent refused to give back my £1250 deposit claiming that the landlord has it when in fact the owner Ravi took the money and advised us that he would put the funds in a government back deposit scheme. He never provided us with the certificate of proof and kept procrastinating each time when we asked him for an update during the course of the AST contract. I put in a complaint in writing to Irwin Fisher and I never received a response but the landlord told me at a later date that she had received an email from Ravi Leal that he will not deal with tenant’s complaint and had ripped up in pieces the letter of complaint from myself and put inside a bin. I took the case to small claims court and I was awarded a judgement in my favour. I do not recommend this agent. I would strongly recommend having everything in writing when dealing with this agent signed and dated in case you need the evidence in court at a later date should it be required.

![]() I on 25th Nov 2019 5 Star Review We had our property on the market with another Agent for two months, with no luck, we moved to Irwin Fisher and within 24 hours we had our first open house booked for the forthcoming weekend. The property was sold on the open house. We have no hesitation in recommending Irwin Fisher. They are brilliant. They were realistic and their selling fees were fair.

![]() Lee on 20th Nov 2019 1 Star Review I had served notice to our tenant and then established that the tenant was working at a hotel as a cleaner rather than in a bank as a Consultant which is what the agent advised us at the beginning. The property was fully managed by the agent so this only came to light recently. The issue we have is that the tenant is on universal credit and when on DSS most agents do not want the tenant so we are now forced to serve eviction notice on the tenant which isn't something that I rather want to do. Equally the tenant can't easily seek council housing due to long waiting list and it's just a shame that this agent let us down by misleading us and unfair on the tenant for them to be in this position. The tenant also advised us that they never supplied any references to the agent at the beginning and that they were referred directly by one of the agents other landlords who recommended this tenant to the agent. This is in contrary to what Ravi Leal informed us at the beginning that he received satisfactory references from the tenants previous landlord but the tenant has advised us that they came from Poland only a few years back and had never rented in the UK prior to coming to us. The whole thing is so difficult for us to take in at the moment and the amount of stress that this has created for us at this time of the year before Xmas is really something that I could do without and also the tenants.

![]() Sian on 12th Aug 2019 1 Star Review I used this agency to try and sell my property. Agent advised it is worth £260,000. Some viewers were arranged and Ravi Leal emailed me to say somone offered £260k. This was ok with me but the buyer was never forthcoming. My solicitor advised that the estate agent has not handed over memorandum of sale. I kept chasing Ravi, different excuses each time and even cited that the buyer is fasting (for religious purposes) so things are moving very slow. Six weeks gone and still no update. I decided to part ways with this agent as I had enough, he immediately called my purchase estate agent and told them the sale has failed. A week later he then called and assured me he has an investor willing to pay 100% cash on my property and I gave this agent one last chance. Guess what, he never turned up for the time scheduled and agreed instead Ravi sent someone else for viewing at the property who appeared to be a family with children and speak very little english. I don't think I can trust this agent ever again.
