In my experience when dealing with the staff confirm everything in writing, don't take their word for anything as they will try to deny anything that is at all contentious. In my opinion as a prospective tenant the paperwork associated with the lease they provide is not fit for purpose. Luckily I withdrew before signing anything and only lost the reservation fee, which I am currently disputing because they tried to increase the term of the lease.
What agent could do to change your mind?
They need to look at their systems, processes and paperwork and be prepared to admit when they have made a mistake.Attached Filesnbsp;

James Dean Reigate have been incredibly incompetent in dealing with my tenancy at a property they manage.

Without doubt the worse estate agents in the whole area. Never use them. Corruption in Reigate branch in regards to sales. When sale is already to go thru they decide to pull the plug. The excuse they used was caught out by the purchasing team. ...

Poor, rude and occasionally threatening communication, have since found out that we were being told different things to what the tenants were reporting. Could never get straight answers from them.
