Very unhelpful, lied on the state of the property was going to be in (there excuse is that when doing the contract there weren't any special requirements. Since when cleaning the property up before new tenants move in is a special requirement!) , bad communication between landlord and agency...
Maintenance team are very slow, it's been weeks since we told them a list of problems that need to be solved (mainly repairs ), they said they would need to contact the landlord before they could do them. After a week of waiting for them to just contact the landlord, they agreed to do the repairs. It's been a month and no one from the maintenance team has come.
This agency doesn't deserve all the fees we paid and made us get an insurance for the furniture in the property (you would laugh if you saw how cheep and low quality is the furniture that was provided).
Overall, very disappointed, we were really looking forward to move to a nice property but since we move in it's been a constant battle to just get things done.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Stick to what you say: If your going to say that the property is going to be in a certain condition make sure it's actually going to be in that condition. Don't give stupid excuses: Saying that nothing was written in the special requirements section isn't an excuse for not doing something as basic as making sure the property is clean. Stop using the landlord as a shield: Every single problem we've told you we had had been answered with "oh we need to contact the landlord for that". You don't need to contact the landlord to do some repairs, and if you do, make it quick. Don't keep your clients waiting for weeks to sort thing out. Don't make us get Tenants Liability insurance of it's not needed: When I moved in to the property I couldn't believe the quality of the furniture. If your going to give us sh** don't make us pay extra for it.Attached Filesnbsp;

As Head of Lettings for Moginie James, I was very disappointed to read these comments as we pride ourselves on our excellent customer service - however after going through the entire company database with a fine toothcomb, I cannot locate any customer with the name of Bob Stinson, so I am unable to look into this issue any further unless Mr Stinson would like to email me direct on [email protected] - I will then be able to help rectify any issues you may have

Comment on agent fees
I always think estate agents fees are high, however, their data base of prospective purchasers produced a sale in a short period of time.
