Initially the rent was down as approximately ƒâ€š‚£2,000 which we thought was quite high. However the final amount received was close to this, which we were obviously very pleased about.

Comment on agent fees
As ever in London the fees are difficult to cover. However there seemed to be quite substantial fees with Beresford. The intitial ‚£400 required to make an offer was described to us as a holding fee. However in reality this was not a holding fee, as other tenants were able to view the property and make and offer over and above our original offer, making securing the flat after this quite difficult. To explain the ‚£400 as a holding fee is perhaps unwise as this gave the impression that the place was not available for others to see or make offers on unless and not before the landlord rejected that offer. The idea that the ‚£400 would secure the flat for us until the landlord rejected the offer was given to us by two separate members of staff from Beresford. Overall we were successful in obtaining the property, however had to wait nearly 48 hours to hear a decision back, and increase our initial offer despite offering the asking price before any other potential tenants had.

Dear David,
Thank you for your review and we're pleased that we were able to find tenants for your flat again this year. We do always strive to achieve the best possible price for our clients, and although we never set out to overvalue properties, on occasions we may have to adjust the asking price if we do not get the response we had been expecting.
We know the importance of keeping void periods down to a minimum, and were pleased that we were able to find replacement tenants to move straigh ...

Comment on agent fees
The fees were a reasonable percentage of the annual rent, that are taken in advance, however I was very displeased that there are no refund of fees will be given if the tenants leave the property prior to 12 month tenancy ending. I am attemptng to sell the house so I hope that it will be sold within 12 months. This is a unusual practice as other agents (Kinleigh, hamptons International) offer pro-rata a fee refund based on unused months on the tenancy.
