Cheaky, unhonest angent, definitely avoid them
We went to see a flat with Lauristons in Putney, we told them we would like to take it by corporate let. The guy Daniel doing the viewing said 'no problem'. So we gave the offer and paid £500 deposit. Later they called me after we paid £500, saying they are not doing corporate let with us. I called their manager Jeanclaude to explain what we do, and asked him a few times, 'Is it all right with you?' He confirmed with me, 'Sure, no problem, landlord is happy with that.' So we paid another £500 deposit. During this time, they were doing the referencing, which was all fine. On the day we supposed to move in, I got a call from JeanClaude, the manager of Lauristons' Putney office, he told me the landlord didn't want to do corporate let, and didn't want to go through. I asked for our deposit back, he told me no way. And he complained me of wasting the landlord's time, that deposit would be given to the landlord for his lost. I got contact with the landlord, he said no, they didn't give him anything. We contacted their letting director, they just denied everything and don't give our deposit back. Until now, 8 months late, we still can't get anything back from our £1000 deposit.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Their deposit is higher than other agents and if the problem is because of them, they complain to you and won't give your deposit back.
