Contrary to popular opinion on here, I actually have had a great experience with Nelsons. I have used their services for the last 4 years and am yet to be dissapointed. When I rented a flat in Brixton from them 2 years ago, I had a few issues with the landlord and Nelsons were great at getting them resolved for me quickly and efficiently. I have always receieved my deposits back shortly after vacating a property and in full. When I had to move out of one flat and into a new one on extremely short notice, Matt was fab at finding me what I was looking for in a matter of days!
It's a shame that only people who have had negative experiences bother writing reviews, since I've recommended them to friends and they are equally happy with the service!

What agent could do to change your mind?
At this point, it is obvious that this doesn't need feedback as they basically broke basic management rules with such indecency. If they need feedback on this, I don't give them much time to stay afloat with such a bad behaviour.

My daughter is in the same situation. Having recently moved out of a property managed by Nelsons, she is having an ongoing battle with Muniza Adams who is not giving back the deposit. Her excuse every time is that she is waiting to hear from the landlord, but so far has not made any progress or explained why the landlord needs to be contacted. Surely Nelsons should keep the deposit in a separate bank account, not give it to the landlord and then try to get it back. We are now considering legal ...

Hi Maram. We are sorry to hear that this was a bad experience for you. When you moved into the studio you made us aware the next day that there was a leak coming from the boiler and that there was some mould appearing. The landlord was contacted immediately on your behalf so as to have this rectified for you. After the repairman had been in to address the issues, which were not to your liking, you requested to move out as you were not content on living there. This was agreed by the landlord ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have protected the deposit in a government authorised scheme. This is effectively illegal!!! Any disputes would be resolved/mitgated through the scheme. Nelsons didn't come across as an impartial 'agent' , always seeming to favour their client, the landlord. Failed to have work done on the flat, such as installing verman scarers, noisy piping, grouting etc etc
