Our agent Ashley Whitaker was very helpful and professional. He was fast in finding a tenant and generally we have been happy with his service so far.

What agent could do to change your mind?

I was in fixed term contract of 12 months but I needed to move out of the property earlier so William H Brown found the new tenant and I stayed in the property till the new tenant moved in. In this process I vacated the property after 10 and half months stay but I had to pay full reletting fee to the agent due to break in the fixed term contract. I felt that paying full reletting fee by me was incorrect as reletting fee should have been proportionated between tenant and owner depending upon the length of the stay as Owner have not lost a rent for a single day. Even I have offered to pay 50% reletting fee but agent did not accept my request to look into this matter. If they would have not found the tenant then I would have vacated the property just after 1 and half more month and owner would have to pay the full reletting fee as well as there would have been a possibility that new tenant would have not moved in so I felt that an undue advantage was taken of the situation. I can't comment about the letting fee paid by me at the beginning of the tenancy whether it was good or bad as I have not compared it with any other agent's fee but I always feel that the letting fee is high.
