They've never attended repairs. After I informed them I will be vacating the property in summer, they decided to ask us to move out on 31st March 2014. A property that was unfurnished and no photographic inventory provided, they decided to with-hold £1500 deposit of ours. The typed up inventory came months after we move in and via email. I called citizen advice bureau and an independent inspector was agreed to inspect the property. They refused to give access and told us they spent our deposit on cleaning, painting, changing the meters back etc....why have they refused to allow independent inspectors if they have nothing to hide? I guess we will be going to court if Safe Deposit cannot resolve the issues.

The gas meter was changed due to gas leakage and the bill was over the roof. I wouldn't recommend them even to my worst enemies. Everyone kept telling us they do not have good reputation. We did not know. Lesson learnt.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Be there for both tenants and landlord. Help the tenants more (when it comes to property maintenance) - they are the middleman between the tenant and landlord but they clearly failed.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Acknowledged problems, attempted to fix them, left the flat in a reasonable state (it was disgusting) and not expect it to be in a better state when keys handed back (although it was by far). Not be so blatant in cheating the tenant out of the deposit and by sticking to the terms of the lease agreement.
