I gave them a holding deposit/ reference fee of £375 THREE months ago and still haven't had it back.
Nobody returns my calls.
The property fell through because they only called ONE of my partner's employers (he's a peripatetic teacher and has more than three employers) and discounted my job entirely as I'm still within my 9 month probationary contract, so we fell short of the rent (your salary or salaries have to be 30 times the monthly rental amount) by £200. When I pointed out their mistake, nobody did anything about it, or took responsibility, or said sorry.
We were 4 days away from moving in, and had bought furniture for the place, and organised van hire. We had to move out of the place we were in, so were effectively homeless.
Extortionate fees (actually we got them down by £100) and they do all the references in house anyway. Except not properly. And zero customer service, and worse than zero accountability. And I'm still chasing for my money. All in all, appalling.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Taken responsibility for their mistake and have said sorry. Still owed money three months on!!
