What agent could do to change your mind?
If Mark had the decency to call and explain rather than almost take pleasure in taking ‚£900 from a customer. He didn't even try, in fact his emails were rude. My legal representative said I have an even stronger case because of his lack of etiquette. Its a shame as one bad apple brings down a whole team. Could of been such a different outcome.

Comment on agent fees
I still do not understand why I was asked to pay both admin and holding at same time. I wouldn't do it again, and any holding fee I put down I will make sure ALL or part is refundable. Totally unreasonable to take an admin fee of a customer when they haven't commenced referencing or letting contract. Bonkers and after investigation not normal practise.

Hi Rebecca I would like to take the opportunity to respond to your negative comments having discussed the situation at length with Mark. Our version of the event are that you viewed the property initially, visited our office immediately (very excitedly I’d like to add) to secure the property and then decided to pay a holding deposit once Mark had agreed the let with the landlord. You also chose to pay the tenancy set up fee at the same time you paid the holding deposit. All the intimal ...
