WARNING This agent made me homeless!!!

I was made homeless by this incompetent estate agent. If you value knowing you have a home to go to I would stay away from Cherry Picked Properties.

I was a prospective tenant, viewed an apartment, made an offer, offer was accepted, paid a holding deposit.

On the morning of the tenancy start date I called to arrange a time to collect keys. I was told I would get a call back, this did not happen.

On the day after my tenancy should have started I called again to chase them up about collecting keys. I was then informed that they had decided to rent the property to another party!!!

Apparently I had not completed the references in time. I had however completed everything, Kas the estate agent, had requested me to do.

Although Daniel the Director apologised for the poor service, and inadequate communication (no one called, emailed, or texted me, to update me to the status of the situation) I was left without a home.

I do not believe the chaps, Dan, Ian, and Kas are doing anything unethical or malicious. They are just not well equipped to handle the basic functions of running an estate agents. Their communication, systems and processes fall woefully short.

I will never use this estate agent as a tenant or landlord.

If you are looking for a property as a tenant I would look elsewhere. Imagine how you would feel finding out the day after you were meant to move in that your new home has been rented to someone else and they are sorry for forgetting to inform you.

If you are a landlord looking to rent a property you may find that lots of your prospective tenants do not complete on the property. This is not the fault of the tenants (as Cherry Picked Properties will have you believe), it is the fault of poor systems, processes and ultimately the inadequate level of communication that occurs between the team at cherry picked, the prospective tenants, and their landlords. I would recommend choosing another provider and you will see a big increase in the number of prospective tenants that end up completing on a tenancy.

Dear Kevin,

Thanks for your time earlier today. I am sorry that we were not able resolve your complaint in full.

We check in between 30-80 tenants per week and whilst our service levels fell below your expectations, thankfully the vast majority of our tenants have a great experience. That being said, the fact that you're personally not happy does matter to me. It is with that in mind that I'll be reviewing our procedures to see how we can improve our communication in these instances.

As discussed during our phone call, I accept that communication should have been better from our side on certain aspects and there are lessons we can learn from as a company.

That being said, for a balanced viewpoint on what happened, I feel that it's important that I am able to point out the following.

1. You were advised that the landlord had instructed us to re-advertise the apartment well over a week prior to the move in date.

2. The full referencing information was only supplied on the actual morning for when you were hoping to move in. Kas had asked you to sign into the Goodlord referencing program. Upon doing this, Goodlord sends out a request for applicants to fill out their full referencing details. I accept that Kas could have explained this further however generally the prompts that Goodlord provide are sufficient for our applicants for them to submit the information.

3. No agency can turn around referencing within one morning so I believe this expectation is unfair.

4. We did what we could to save the move in and for it to go ahead as normal however the landlord's decision was final.

You should have been notified immediately when the landlord decided to proceed with another offer and for this I'm sorry. My colleagues had thought you were no longer interested in the property due to the inaction for 2 weeks though clearly a follow up call and email should have been made to advise you of the landlord's decision.

I wish you all the very very in the future and I hope you find somewhere else quickly.

Best Regards,

Dan
