I went to wj Meade in Stratford branch for rent the property ‘I thought they are professional but they are Doing actually fraud with people like take deposit for property at the end credit check they said report wasn’t good so we retain your deposit that’s means they show the property to tenant Not to give rent just take the money intentionally ‘ I believe this is fraud & not acceptable.
Once I asked money back manager billy threatened me to call police ‘ he think he is a big man & I reply go on .

They doing with so many people so far I Know so we following the process to get the money back also report to the local
Authorities.

Never met such a bad agent before. Long in short, they believe they are God, more important than the buyer.
1. Push very hard on buyer (Calling the buyer everyday with non-professional language)
2. Accusing the buyer (Think the buyer don't have money)
3. Threatening the buyer to ...

Good morning,
This is most unfortunate having received a 5* review from our vendor and client featured on AllAgents on the 28th February 2019 which completely contradicts the purchaser's view and opinion. The reason our managing director had to get involved at the later stages of the transaction was that promises were made from the purchaser and their solicitor to exchange contracts; however the purchaser decided that going away long distance on business was not something she needed to share wi ...

I have looked into your complaint after speaking with the Stratford team, and can see that you were an applicant for one of our rental properties. Before securing a property, we always explain what we require from an applicant in order to pass affordability checks.
I can see from our records that you signed our Application Form as well as our Applicant Terms & Conditions. When your referencing form was completed, it came to our attention that you gave false information regarding your employment details and earnings.
To protect our landlords and their properties, we mandate affordability needs to sit between 2.5 times – 3 times the yearly rent, and this is made very clear within our terms and conditions. You assured us that you could meet the affordability, and unfortunately this was incorrect as your earnings were £10,000 under what you stated on both forms.
Further to this, we looked at ways around this sticking point as we wanted to continue with yourself as an applicant. The two options given to you were either that you needed a guarantor or you needed to pay the shortfall of the rent up-front. You rejected both propositions, which gave us no option but to halt your application.
As outlined in the terms and conditions, should you give false or misleading information that calls into your suitability as a tenant, we are entitled to retain your holding deposit to cover our administration costs.
When you came into the office you became very aggressive and were shouting at staff members. We take a zero tolerance policy against abuse of our staff, and therefore after asking you to calm down, we asked you to leave the premises or we would contact the police as your behaviour became increasingly hostile.
W J Meade stand by our decision to retain your holding deposit as you gave false information about your affordability, which then called into your suitability as a tenant. You rejected our two proposals to help you rent this property, and there was nothing further we could do to help you.
Should you wish to discuss this further please get in touch at [email protected]
Regards,
W J Meade Customer Service Team
