We are yet another unhappy customer (I'm hearing many others with similar experience)

To cut a long story short - after taking a huge amount in fee's from us compared to other letting agencies, and assuring us that it was a pretty straight forward deal, the 'landlord' apparently rejected our application (after all other checks were approved) as they didnt like the fact that I opened my own business! we had agreed to pay 6 months rent up front but they still rejected it, and Whirlybird kept all the fee's - which I find disgusting, especially as it was basically the landlords decision!

You obviously have the wrong company as we have no one under the name of David Ashton working at Whirlybird Property and no one has ever heard of that name.

We have got 83% of customers that are very happy, so you obviously have the wrong agency as no one recognises any of the details. The staff at Whirlybird Property have won numerous gold, silver and bronze awards for good customer service in 2015.

This comment needs to be removed immediately before we take further action to get these slanderous comments removed.

It seems very strange indeed that the comment has been left anonymously and does not give an address of the property in question.

This property and tenant does not ring any bells and it seems very strange that the person has not identified themselves! The is always a reason why certain costs are applied to a tenant(s). If a property has not been left how is should be according to the contract I don't see why the landlord should pick up the cost. If the person was professional enough to leave their name and property address I could comment on the matter is a more comprehensive manner and address any concerns. As such, th ...

The tenant's name is not linked to this company. I've never heard of anybody call Kendrick? That aside, we always advise of any costs prior to a move in so tenants need to calculate and evaluate their budget prior to a move in. Furthermore, agents charges will differ all over the UK so this individual is probably not comparing like with like. It sounds like the tenant is saying if you are more expensive than another firm that they have previously used you are subsequently a bad organisation? Tha ...
