Turns out Choices were advertising the property when it wasn't even available. The tenant hadn't paid their rent. Choices advertised it as available. Then they decided to pay their rent. It wasn't Choices that told me this. Their idea of customer service doesn't include keeping you informed! This kind of behaviour is dirty and would be acceptable a decade ago. Stay well away now, there are much better agents around! ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
i am unable to find appropriate abusive word to express my anger on this f**** crap company. Staff helpful initially, but service went downhill from the signing of the rental contract onwards. I experienced an hour wait whilst the rental contract was prepared on moving in day. There has been a lack of action when problems have been reported at the property over the last year. Now there is an additional ‚£80 charge for a rolling contract - continuing on a month by month basis - now that the fixed term one has come to an end. The new rolling contract is a templated document printed on one sheet of paper. I'm not sure how the labour to produce this amounts to ‚£80, but it is Choices policy to charge for it and this charge definitely cannot be wavered. I've never had any other estate agent charge me for a rolling contract after the fixed term one has come to an end, but I am aware that this does sometimes happen elsewhere. A fee is mentioned in the small print of the fixed term contract, so I really have no choice but to pay if I want to stay living where I am. However, I do feel it is unreasonable and therefore it is only right that I make future tenants more aware of its existance by posting the info on here. I'm told the level of service I receive from Choices will improve from now on. DO NOT USE.

Have staff that know what they are doing. Have fees which are not extortionate. Put good tenants into property. Actually help you.
