Do not rent with Watson Mitchell!
We originally started renting with a property that was with Paul Johnson lettings however the property was switched to Watson Mitchell after Paul Johnson retired. Watson Mitchell tried to increase our rent however there were problems with the property that had not been rectified. When we refused to pay an increase in rent we were met with a rude reply from the agent. Despite what the website says they are clearly there for the landlord. After they asked for a second increase in rent within the space of a year we decided to move out. They tried to charge us ƒâ€š‚£130 for cleaning charges despite the property being left in a better state than when we moved in. It was only after writing to the landlord that we got all of our deposit back without an apology for trying to rip us off. Stay well clear of these rip off merchants.
