I would not use the agent again
- Services:
- Lettings (as a Tenant)
I was going to leave them good feedback if they deserved it - they didn't though.
If you phone and they say we will call back in two minutes - don't hold your breath as the call wont come at all. They will waste your time until you have no choice but to take their flat because you have no more time to look.
When you first get shown around a few houses by someone who wants to help you, getting driven around you think that Black Katz are absolutely great. They are far from good though...
After finding a place which might be suitable (many flats are so bad that your standards have to drop quickly) you will be told that the landlord has just acquired the property - this is rubbish - he has had it for many years!! So the lies begin...
You will be told that the landlord is one of the good ones and that he is going to do the property up (this is news to him - he doesn't like to spend money)... 'The landlord will buy what you want, professionally clean the flat, add a new fridge freezer, new tiling, new work surfaces, new lights, cleaned this, cleaned that, new toilet seat, etc, etc, etc - he will decorate - it will be like a new place'...
The asking price is x amount but if you offer x amount plus another

Don't know which is more strange - that they advised you to pay
