Attention everyone - witholding your deposit (or not holding it in a 3rd party account) is in breach of the housing act 2004. This means that the agent (on application to the county court) will be forced to repay the tenant 3 times the amount of the original deposit. You need to speak to a lawyer-they shouldn't be allowed to get away with this its nothing short of theft. I was in the process of doing this and I got my deposit back straight away from them.

Worst estate agents - they don't give ref. fees back and lie to the customers as well. Avoid them at all the cost. There are better estate agents in Langley area. I have contacted ARLA and TPOS to try and get my ref. fees refund and was told to contact -

Will try it out but am certain about the answer.

Wow, their lettings department must be on a different planet; I used 3 local agents before using Ashley Brown, and was recommended to them by a friend who had used them before. I found them to be very professional, and they sold my property for the full asking price within 4 weeks. Both my friend and I would have no hesitation in recommending them again.

I successfully got two months rent after taking them to the small claims court. Nothing else is likely to work. Try www.moneyclaim.gov.uk It is really easy to use.

Ashley Brown are the biggest bunch of con artists I have ever come accross. I have left literally 15+ messages and personally been to the office several times in the last 3 months. Do not use these agents at any cost they are a bunch of liars.
When staff members were confronted they said this hasn't happend before but this seems to be a routine practice.
AVOID THIS AGENT AT ALL COST.

Very bad agents. I have been trying to collect my rent for 4 months I am now owed 7 months rent. I have made 30+ phone calls and emails with no success. Ashley Brown is a very unprofessional agent.

go to his home address and he will write out a cheque! He did not return one of my calls but miraculously wrote a cheque the minute i turned up on his doorstep - persist as he is crook!

I am a landlord and am currently trying to get the deposit back from Ashley Brown as the protection from "mydeposits.co.uk" runs out soon. I want to register it under the Government run "Deposit Protection Service" scheme. Ashly Brown keep fobbing me off with excuses. Anyone know Joe Joshi's address as he is impossible to get hold of.
Commented by Milla on the 1st August 2009
Somebody mentioned they have his home address. What is it? Suggest we all go around at the same time and demand our money back! I am a landlord who is now being taken to court by our tenants because Ashley Brown won't give them her money back. I am furious and can't understand how they are allowed to operate. Did somebody have the address for the MD?

If you do a search for "Joshi Middlegreen" you should go to the first hit on google- it is a pdf file - his details are on page 11! Would love to hear if you get your money back!

Thanks for the address. Just to let you know that the Langley and Slough Observer is running a story on it this Friday. The journalist (Callum) is interested in your story so give him a call.

I got his address from companieshouse.com-same idea, same address too. We were promised our cheque last week after over 2 months of waiting but I've had enough now-I'm off to his house on Saturday to politely request my money.

I emailed joe joshi and told him I was going to get him arrested for fraud and put in jail. It actually worked, i got my deposit back that day. Try it :-D

Take them to the small claims court or turn up at the estate agents and refuse to leave until you get your cheque, tell them you will go down J Joshi house to collect your deposit. It worked for us after three months of running around. All the staff are aware of whats going on and will try and make excuses.
