What agent could do to change your mind?
Reply when they say they will to calls and queries. Use contractor who do what they say they will (work has been charged for that hasn't been done or completed properly) and keep landlords informed. Would also be useful to be able to see all correspondences relating to your property as some other agents do..

Comment on agent fees
While pleased with the service from Danielle and recognising that there is a cost involved, ‚£200 + VAT seems a bit steep to me for the renewal charge. A suggestion would be to offer a lower fee if the same tenant rolls over next year as the costs (ie time) involved must be less! I will try to remember this in 12 months time....

Comment on agent fees
happy that the agency offers half price fees if a decision is made on a new tenancy agreement six weeks before the tenancy ends but feel the companies agency fees are pricey, looking at around 140 pounds for a single person to sign a contract is one of the most expensive around in this area

Comment on agent fees
As long as the letting of the property is managed appropriately safeguarding my investment then the fees represent value for money. As a property owner I would of course prefer longer tenancies without the need to keep paying finder fees. Philip James have assisted in finding such tenants and in my opinion have charged reasonably for contract extensions (to date).

She could have been honest and admitted her mistake. She called me a liar, was unpolite, yelled at me and unrespectful. The manager was arrogant and from the beginning not willing to listen to our explanations.
