I would not use the agent again
- Services:
- Lettings (as a Tenant)
During the viewing of the flat, I noticed that there was a watermark on the ceiling and the sales agent (Holborn branch) there promised that it would be fixed when I moved in. However, nothing had been done after moving in and the water linkage was getting so serious that I had to put a bucket underneath all the time. It totally disturbed my daily life. It took them 6 months to fix it for me - covering the watermark by paint!
After a few months, the water linkage reoccurred and the heating was not working. I reported the problems to the managment team but they would never reply you unless you called them. When I said that I would like to terminater the contract earlier as the landlord could not fix those problems and I would consider taking legal action. They said that I had signed the contract and could not terminate early. Though my lawyer told me that under this exceptional circumstance, I should be able to do it.
Anyways, I have moved out now. Would suggest anyone to go to their local council for getting the 'hazard report' for the flat if it is suffered from no heating, water linkage, etc.
