7 months pregnant and my partner lost his job. We are forced to move out of the flat early and in fact leave the country. We are not allowed to speak to our landlord about releasing us from the agreement with 2 months notice. The agents are totally indeferrent and we received inhumane treatment. We are blackmailed to sign extremely terrible additional terms for early termination and to be liable for up to £5K of fees and rent before they can even accept our 2 months perfectly sensible leaving notice. They refuse to speak to the landlord if we do not sign and to start reletting the property.
Misleading agreement in the first place, total lack clarity, lack of human touch, agents are brainless robots who keep repeiting their standard terms without making any attempt to help me in any way as they client, as a person and on top of everything as a pregnant woman.
I feel victimised and in the same time i feel like a criminal for wanting to resolve the situation reasonably and for wanting to speak to landlord.
Don't sign agreements with no early termination clause! Never expect sympathy, usefull advise or human tratment in this office. Be sure your best interest is their last priority

What agent could do to change your mind?
Process the deposit returns quicker. A month is a ridiculously long waiting time. Plus, we handed the deposit to agents via a bank transfer. We were expecting a bank transfer back. Not a check! How old-fashioned!

What agent could do to change your mind?
Been professional and SPOKEN to me instead of 'pinging emails' and avoiding calls. Got the facts straight before they informed me about 'floods' and 'emergency plumbers' - it turned out to be a leak and no bill ever materialised for said emergency plumber. Referred to the tenants as 'the tenants' and not on a 'mates' basis Addressed the numerous breaches of contract directly and immediately with the tenants and informed them that they were infact in breach of their contract! Remember WHO paid them and that the owner DOES have legal rights. Remind the tenants IT IS NOT THEIR PROPERTY and they CANNOT do as they please without permission Teach their staff some manners and learn how to spell.

Your experience with Andrews and deposits mirrors ours. Once Andrews has your money they seem only to care about their relationship with the landlord. They are unhelpful in providing references re financial probity to new landlords claiming they do not manage properties even when, in our case, they have taken rent six months in advance and know us to be financially sound. I sold a property through Andrews this January but after my 2 year experience as a tenant I would not deal with them again ...
