We dealt with Sandersons after they absorbed iConn, in Canterbury. We were with them for a total of 3 years, at the end of the tenancy they performed a check-out report with an out-of-date inventory list. They claimed that we had left items in the house, of which were already present when we moved in, and charged us £120 from the deposit for disposal of said items. Even after proving that those items belonged there (by way of previous tenant statement and old viewing photos depicting those items) they still decided to go ahead and take the deduction.
They also decided to take away £240 from the tenancy deposit, even after the house had been cleaned top-to-bottom. Only taking photos of areas that had small amounts of dust on, to use as evidence for the whole house being left dirty. We considered trying to claim the money back through court however we couldn't take the pressure and stress that the landlord and Sandersons were putting us under.
On at least 3 occasions, our reports for required maintenance were ignored.
We will never be letting through Sandersons again and urge anyone else to proceed with extreme caution in the future.

* The Worst Estate Agents in Canterbury *
After handing in our keys at the end of the year, Sandersons took £150 from our deposit. They claimed it was due to the state and cleanliness of the property.
Myself and my housemates extensively cleaned the house before handing ...

Wouldn't even give them one star. Awful people with only the intention of scamming and taking money from students. The worst two years I've experienced. Do not recommend and save yourself from all the stress they will cause....

All sales staff visited my home to ensure that all were familiar with the property prior to viewings.

What agent could do to change your mind?
After phoning them repeatedly for months to report a horrific mould problem in my walk in cupboard I emailed them stating I would be withholding a small amount of rent if it wasn't fixed soon. I let two separate workers know I was going to do this, before I did it, and yet today I get a phone call saying I've got a ‚£180 late rent fee. Sandersons is an absolutely disgusting company that will do anything not to give you your deposit back at the end of the year including hiring 'professional cleaners' and charging you removal fees for any objects left behind. I rang Sandersons to try and resolve this charge and the woman on the phone was incredibly sarcastic and rude despite being able to hear me crying. When moving in to the property for the first time one of the letting agents remarked that the house was not up to scratch, so why has nothing been done about it? I would urge you not to rent a property with Sandersons, they WILL keep your deposit and they WON'T resolve any problems.Attached Filesnbsp;
