This was my first experience of using a letting agent. Because Miller Countrywide are a well known name, I decided to let my apartment through them. Big mistake. Lots of chat, but very little action. They did not manage the property very well or, as it turns out, do a thorough check of the tenant's credentials. When I came to see the apartment after the tenant left 2 months' early, I was shocked at the state of it. Broken items, left very dirty, and things had been stolen. The manager/agents refused to take any responsibility and I had to go to head office. They were also not pleasant to deal with. Letting agents such as these give a bad name to the industry.
What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have done their job better in all aspects. The Tenancy Agreement clearly stated that periodic checks were to be carried out. If they had done this, then they would have realised how badly the apartment was being cared for. They need to be more responsive to landlord's requests for information. Being rude and dismissive on the phone is not the correct way to behave.
