Appalling service. Not just the manager but all employees that I have had contact with too. Serious bunch of crooks! I am worried about my current tenants deposit. They placed that in a 'deposit scheme' but I expect they won't get that back... Am I liable for that too?

The deposit is the tenants money held against arrears & damages. As deposits are registered online it is not beyond the bounds of possibility that an unregulated agent could make a fraudulent claim against this deposit. More info if required from [email protected]

BPS have not paid rental income from a property they are managing on my behalf, two months rent for Nov and Dec. In the past they always paid rent late by more than 3 weeks despite the tenant paying rent by direct debit on 1st of each month. Now they have stopped altogether and I was told that Shane has moved to Spain and is managing accounts and payments online from Spain. I never realised that there are so many clients of BPS who have been made to endure such treatment. ...

I can only add to the list of unhappy and ripped of landlords. I also would like to take this man to court and any help with a solicitor's name that has succeeded would be appreciated. He owes me three months rent, and has broken the law by not depositing the tenants deposit! I have also informed the trading standards and the TDS (0845 226 7837) who he has just joined.

No fees information available
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
