I rented a property with Focus Residential Estate Agent Slough. After the end of the my tenancy agreement they deducted whopping £285 from deposit as following
Carpet Cleaning - £65, even though I cleaned carpets using Rug Doctor
Cleaning - £65 , I cleaned the whole property spending whole day
Excessive marks to walls - £75 , While living there, I reported about the marks to the landlord and he suggested me to clean with a damp cloth which I did however marks didn't go
Marks to sofa - £30, It wasn't a new sofa and it was already used.
Burn to work top - £ 50, It is normal wear and tear as it is used for more than 2 and half years.
But they didn't listen to me, I have been left with no others options either to go TDS(Tenancy Deposit Scheme) adjudicator or to the court to settle deposit dispute. I went to TDS adjudicator https://www.tds.gb.com/ and they awarded me £247 and saved me from Focus Residential day light robbery. I am very much thankful to TDS for their justice. I believed those deduction were very unfair and I rightly disputed. It was my hard earned money as I don't pick money from the trees.
Focus Residential sent me cleaning invoices which were looking like mate's invoices as there is no VAT number and also I couldn't find/trace these companies on yellow pages, Google businesses, Company House.
I would never ever recommend Focus Residential to any of my family members, friends and colleagues. BETTER STAY AWAY FROM THESE RUDE , UNHELPFUL AND MONEY GRABBER AGENTS.
