Felicity is the name of your long lost family cousin who only contacts you when in need of cash... This felicity lives up to that stereotype. I was renting a flat with this agent for around 3 years, and as long as they need you to pay the rent, they are pretty much your standard letting agent. Do they put pressure on potential tenants to immediately pay a holding deposit to secure a place? Yes they do, but then again this is London and flats sell like hot cakes. The problems, however, start when you decide to move out from one of their places. Up until the point when we agreed on a move-out date everything was fine. My last encounter with them was when I handed them the keys to the property. From then onwards, Felicity, the whole Bow branch basically vanished. They stopped answering any call from my phone (I tried calling them around 37 times in a 2 week period). Ignored any of my emails that I sent them. All I wanted from them was a copy of my check-out report and my deposit monies back, which we know for a London property can be quite substantial. Also let me point out that I left the property probably cleaner and better than when I moved in. Just to confirm this, David Greenslade, one of the senior branch partners at Bow, even recorded a video for the advert of the whole building because he thought it looked beautiful the way that I set the whole place up. His words not mine. So as far as I am aware, there were no issues with the property whatsoever and I have no idea why they didn’t bother replying. I know for a fact they had a new tenant less than 24 hours after I moved out. So, I decided to take things into my own hands and contact the TDS (Tenancy Deposit Scheme) which is a separate entity set up to deal with disputes. The problem here again was that felicity decided to ignore them as well and so the whole process took me more than 2 months and TDS needed to start legal action against them. Finally just a bit shy of 3 months, I received my deposit back. Not from Felicity but from TDS. Shame on you Felicity for treating your tenants like this. If you can, and I hope you can for your own sake, avoid Felicity J Lord Bow at all costs.

Sep 22, 2021We are sorry that there have been issues relating to the release of the deposit. We are only able to release a deposit following authorisation from both the landlord and the tenant. Unfortunately, there was a delay in the landlord confirming and you should have been informed of this. We would like to apologise that your end experience was not as it should have been. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to email [email protected]

Quality of service is just pathetic. Everything is going well until they get your money and signature on the contract, after this you can expect them to get anything done.

They advertise properties at one price and give a sales pitch about the landlord accepting profiles however just go with the highest offer.

The Bow office were ok at first, the start of the tenancy was all handled professionally with no fuss. I expect with a reasonable landlord they would be ok. However, when our landlord (24 Oxley Square) tried (and failed) to bully us into not exercising a break clause in the contract and then paying ... Read Full Review
