Dear Tenant,
I am very sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction in relation to the negotiations for the return of your security deposit.
As the landlord's agent, we are employed to represent the landlord but ultimately we have to act on the landlord's instructions in relations to these kind of matters. Before proposed deposit deductions are put to tenants, our Property Managers forward the check-out report to the landlord along with a summary of any areas for consideration. It is only af ...

We request reviews from all clients as a demonstration of our commitment to customer service, however we also ask you to let us know directly if you feel that we can improve in any areas, or if there are any specific issues that you would like a Branch Manager to address on your behalf.

Fees are toward the upper end of what I was typically quoted during my property search. ‚£150/pp and ‚£150 check in fee. However, these are all stated up front (on website and in person) - no hidden or last-minute additions.

Comment on agent fees
Taking in consideration of London rental prices, a huge deposit and then a hefty agency fee is a difficult pill to swallow. However in this circumstance I do feel like those fees went towards a high quality service and contributed to finding an ideal place to live. If that was the case every time, then I am sure agency fees wouldn't be such a sore subject. A famous band once released an album and let the fans decide how much they'd pay for it, such as their confidence on how good it was. Needless to say they made a fortune and even reduced illegal downloads. I would love to see an estate agent adopt that philosophy. Pay fees on how good you think we've been. People would have a very different outlook on them.
