I would strongly recommend international clients considering renting a short term property in London to avoid renting from Foxtons. We have rented a flat in Chelsea for 2 months and the experience was terrible as they are extremely unreasonable upon check out. You will be faced with an enormous list of unreasonable charges at the end of your short term let with no room for discussion. The more you argue, the more they increase the charges without any reasonable explanation - it is really shocking. We have accidentally damaged the carpet of one single step in the entry hall and they are requesting that we change the entire staircase for nearly £1,000 which is a charge at least 10 times higher than quotations we have independently obtained. Their argument is that the landlord lost the reference of the carpet and now needs to change the entire staircase. We find this extremely unreasonable as we are being penalized for the fact the landlord has not kept the reference for the carpet. This is especially outrageous as we have found ourselves an excellent match which would resolve the issue for a fraction of the price without causing any aesthetic problems.
Comment on agent fees
Extremely unreasonable withholding of the deposit.
