I advertised my property through Martin and Co in Decembr 2013. It was for 525 pounds. They suddently without my consent reduced the fee to 500 pounds without my permission and stated they found a tenant who is interested. I told them i was not interested however they went behind my back and agreed a contract. I found someone else through a different agency. Now they are blackmailing me to either handover my house keys or pay a 300 pounds tenant finders fees.
Please anyone help. This is fraudulent business. Should i inform the police or solicitor or the office of fair trading.
To all prospective landlords please read reviews from the internet and the ordinary persons on the streets, hardly a good word to say about these people.

What agent could do to change your mind?
They need to learn how to communicate. They need facilities to pay by card. They need to understand that you cannot turn customers away during opening hours

What agent could do to change your mind?
I have given Martin & Co several opportunities to change my mind. There have now been too many instances of being let down (I can't remember a positive experience when having to deal with them).

The fees are not unreasonable if the service you are receiving is positive. Sadly, I pay Martin & Co each month and get nothing positive in return.
