I was told when viewing the property that I could change the gas and electric prepay meters (very expensive) to regular meters. However once I moved in, I found out the landlord did not want me to do this and had problems until he was persuaded it was OK. There was also a debt on the electric meter causing a power-out shortly after I moved in, which I was not told about and wasn't given any info relating to the prepay meters that I have never used before. When I brought this up in the office, no apology or explanation was given. The inventory was also incorrect saying many things were clean and in good condition when they were not, meaning I had to edit it myself. The only positive thing was I was able to complete the paperwork on line before moving to the area.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Not done the above things

Comment on agent fees
Seemed like a lot compared with other places and for simply doing paperwork

We would never advise that you are able to change the meters without the landlords consent. This is also clear in your tenancy agreement.
The inventory is not prepared by ourselves, this is carried out by a third party.
The point of providing a copy to you for signing is to give you the opportunity to make any amendments that you do not agree to.
