Tenants!!!!!
Do not trust that this agency will protect you or will have your best interest as their priority (even low one). As they informed me they are âlandlord's agentsâ despite its us tenants who pays their bills.
They did not repair reported damage for over six months. And they were happy and friendly until I've told them I will move out from property.
They did not have signed moving out inventory in my case.
Promised quote for rectifying any damages (and honestly not fully trimmed hedge should not be deemed as damage) was never delivered.
The third party company from a different town was employed for this service . Perhaps someone from their family or close friends. Martin & Co in Tamworth let them to charge me 230 GBP for replacing carpet (that was marked stained in moving in inventory) in one of the bedrooms (not a ball room). Or maybe on entire floor or other houses as well (perhaps family or close friends)? I don't know, I was not informed about the price per square meter, how many meters are needed, none of the details related to the activity.
Furthermore I've paid part of the costs for clearing the loft which was not even a part of inventory (but as a gesture of good will I've accepted that cost).
In return I got arrogant treatment, no chances to correct what was to correct and yes, the Agency was granted full amount that they requested, but only because I was late with my evidences (and that was solely my mistake and I paid for that), not because arbiter decided Agency was right.
I'll not be recommending their 'services' to potential tenants, even more I'll be strongly advising them to NOT to use them as letting agency. I have also talked to the landlord who owns a few houses and had experiences with this organization, that made him reluctant to get further business relationship with Martin&Co in Tamworth again.

Yes
Please, feel free to highlight one line of my review where I've stated I have not caused damage?
Additionally the funds can me removed from the deposit (as you have kindly and arrogantly advised is the correct word for that) without the consent if you're late with your reply, as it was in my case. I'm not arguing with the fact the money have been taken, due to my neglect. But only this one instance shows how incorrect statements easy comes from you.
The only fact that I'm arguing with is that you did not provide me with signed moving-out inventory and you did not give me a chance to rectify the 'damages' (as for example untrimmed hedge).
You have not even mentioned that aspect in your reply, and that only shows this not convenient for you to clarify this.
And I'm sure landlord is satisfied with letting people in the house without even repainting all rooms after the last tenants, but having already stained carped replaced (probably on entire floor judging by the amount) on tenants costs.
Moreover I'll be reviewing your service wherever it's possible, hoping that it will reach as many people as possible making them to think twice, before trusting you.
And that statement that you're operating on behalf of the landlord and you could not take care less of the tenants, should go to the very home page of your website. At least you would be truthful.
