AVOID THIS AGENCY if you want to keep your nerves and deposit
I have dealt with a few letting agencies, however Stonehouse were the worst, a nightmare.
During the tenancy they "lost" my emails, ignored my questions, showed up after less than 24 hour notice (breach of the contract). A few times they also advised an inspection, but cancelled the very last minute or they did not even show up (they did not pick up when I tried phoning just before 4pm to see if anyone will be stopping by and they replied to my email a few days later - I took a day off and it ended up being wasted). They change the property managers frequently, so you never know who to contact and when I asked once who is my new property manager, I received a very rude reply. They also asked me to overpay, but when I asked for my money to be returned, they wanted to charge me a transaction fee.
However, the absolute worst was leaving them.
The checkout report was done without my presence (due to COVID, I do understand that). The report itself was disgraceful, completed well after I already left the property, it completely disregarded the check-in report and listed things that were beyond my control. They attempted to charge me the most unreasonable things.
The whole thing went to adjudication process and during it this greedy and incompetent agency came up with ridiculous excuses and prolonged the process as long as they could.
ADVICE: AVOID them at all costs, however, if you are already stuck with them - TAKE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS and make sure they are dated!
This is a disgraceful agency and they should not be allowed to operate.
