Satisfied with the fees, a little steep for a student however the customer assistance made it worth every penny.

Comment on agent fees
Agents fees were high and had to pay per tenant, however we had a good service from Black Katz, and fees are high wherever you go. Also didn't take any money from us until we had found and signed for a property we liked.

Hello, I am sad to read your review as I honestly believe I did my best to make it a smooth process for you all. When you emailed me originally requesting to push the start date of the tenancy back by a week I informed you straight away after speaking to my manager this would not be possible. The date was already agreed between you the tenants and the Landlord, it's not something we can change after a landlord agrees a move in date which you the tenants accepted. If the move in date was p ...

Good afternoon, I have now looked into matters. I am very concerned that you feel you were lied to over furniture; I can assure you we would never lie and can only assume it was a mis-understanding - if you can please supply more information I will investigate further. Upon your move-in there were maintenance issues which whilst I understand we attended to and resolved quickly I do apologise that there were any to start with. There is always pressure when there is a quick changover but it is ...

I think if there are two people sharing one payment I'm not sure two background check fees are needed at ‚£150 each. But saying that they helped the whole way with questions and making sure our demands were met (where they could help it), so I guess this is what we pay for.
