My husband and I scheduled a viewing with Belvoir Nottingham last year. The property was located in a very expensive location. So we expected an emaculate home. No... spider webs, wood floors were damaged, walls damaged... it was definitely not cleaned for viewing. We asked if the home would be cleaned if we decided to take the property. We arrived at the home (move day) and of course the place had not been cleaned. I had to clean it all. They did periodic checks and we had a clean bill of health. It was time to leave and we conducted our walkthrough, the place was very clean (cleaner than when they gave it to us). We have been waiting for a month now for their report and our deposit. Throughout the term they have been horrible with responding in a timely manner. They are quick to make sure you do your part or else but when it is time for them to act. Nothing.
I don't think the Landlord was aware of any of this. I would never be a Tennant with them or use them as a Landlord.

Yes
You were presented with an Inventory and Schedule of Condition on moving into the property, but made no comments as to the cleanliness at that juncture.
Throughout the tenancy we responded in a timely manner to all issues that you raised, even though you insisted on being contacted before access to the property and as you were both working long hours, this proved difficult to organise. These were the only delays we were aware of.
After moving out you were given our formal report and you disputed everything in it. In these cases, as is required by the current deposit legislation, to try and reach agreement. Yu still refused any deduction despite agreeing that discrepancies were present and that these were not due to fair wear and tear.
The only way of getting closure is to go to arbitration, which was done. The delay was with the arbitration scheme and not us, and subsequently an award was made in our (the landlord's) favour, clearly showing we had not acted inappropriately.
The landlord was informed at all stages, indeed we have an email on file thanking us ofr our help in resolving the issues.
