Truly awful agent!
They made no repairs to the property despite numerous requests, windows and doors would not seal properly, so property was freezing.
They do not explain there fees on checkout, they utilise aggressive tactics to maximise there profit. They really should not be ...

The property in question was an introduction property, and as such you are obliged to pay your rent directly to your landlord as after you move in we would not have any involvement in the tenancy, and as such is the reason that we do not hold spare keys as this is not a requirement, and the landlord would take care of this. The same would go for the inventory as the landlord would have undertaken this himself.
In terms of the deposit, this was returned by ourselves with in the stipulated 14 d ...
