Had no problem with them during our tenancy, but their deductions are extortionate. We went to great effort to clean the house, meet with all the requirements etc and thanks mainly to a picky landlord, there were numerous conversations between my wife and the Property Manager in the lead up to use leaving.
Without question we left the place in better condition that when we arrived, thanks mainly to the property having been empty for a couple of months before we moved in. However, as with any clean, there are always a few things missed - especially when it's a 4 bedroom house. A till receipt left in the dressing room, two window sills with dust, dirt on the door of the microwave, a mark on the cooker, two sinks with dirt in the plugs, dirt on a blind - that's about it. Despite acknowledging it was only a few small things, they charged us £170 for a full end of tenancy clean! Despite making it clear to my wife that a professioncal carpet clean wasn't required, we were then charged for the cleaning of two carpets (although to be fair, those charges were reasonable for what they were - I just object to paying for them when we were told it wasn't required)
Definitely tenant beware. Take lots and lots of photos when you go in to a property! Get EVERYTHING in writing. DO NOT TRUST PHONE CALLS!
What agent could do to change your mind?
I just wanted to be treated fairly! I would have paid reasonable costs for the cleaning that was required. I would have paid for anything that was reasonable - even marginally inflated prices I would have accepted, but this is a clear rip off.
