Where to start. I never write a review, however after 6 months on a JLL managed premium property - I'm shocked. Initial contacts with the lettings negotiator was satisfying. Once the offer has ben given it was a complete nightmare. Contractual part took ages. Informations haven't been given. Communication = 0.
Moved in: No heating. No hot water. No help at all over the weekend nor the first 2 days. Reason, the property is under warranty and the emergency ppl. have been told NOT to help or answer questions at all.
After we also had to handle a list of uncountable issues with the apartment itself and no-one felt really responsible to manage them we given notice and the nightmare continued. Short notice viewing. 4-5 viewings a week. All ok as we are reasonable. However, allowing a for me unknown 3rd party agent to gain access to the property without my knowledge 2 times including the fact that I've been in the flat once and those people just opened the apartment door is just horrible.
But the best at the end. We moved in the middle of the month to draw a line even if we had to pay the rest of the month. So we get asked if we maybe could vacate 2 days after our departure so that a new tenant could move in. Agreeing in principle and asking for basics like contract amendments etc left unanswered. 5 times chasing for that - nothing. What they did than? They just gained access (without knowledge and authorisation) for a tenancy end clean (which I haven't arranged) and having a inventory clark lined up. Legal compliance? Taking care about tenants - the customers? Being open and spot on? Even after speaking to the Lettings Director no word of an honest sorry or an attempt to sort anything out.
Deposit return within 10 days? No. Legal compliance? No.
Answers on questions re deposit and overpaid rental? Wishi washi.
Client commitment? Maybe to Landlords.
As still nothing is sorted we consider legal proceedings. As that is just shocking.
Comment on agent fees
No relation in value to money.
