I've now been waiting over 5 weeks for the return of my deposit after being a very good tenant in an apartment for 3 years paying over £20,000 in rent. I partly blame my tight landlord who faced with decorating costs as the apt is now 7 years old ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Return calls, show interest in my attempts to retrieve my own money and point out to landlord how obnoxious and obstructive he is being. I left the apartment in a better state than before I spent my ‚£20,000 in rent yet the landlord seems to think he has the right to quibble over a minute mark in a wall that was there when I moved in. Absolutely incredible!!!

As a business I believe you should be more concerned about the actual complaint than the name it appears under. If you reread my comment you'll see that I actually called the company several times to complain and received an abusive call back. Further complaints were not made because the landlord has chosen not to use bridgfords to manage the property. Please tell me what part of the above comment is exaggerated. The landlord can confirm the information is correct and I have evidence of the pho ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Agent could have tried to understand the situation and apologise for the inconvenience. I appreciate that they are having to take my word for what occurred. But had I requested the service I would not have been contacting them to ask why it had been provided. It would have been a small customer services matter to resolve this issue, instead they have lost a customer - and I hope through this review a few potential customers also.

What agent could do to change your mind?
1) learn to communicate effectively 2) sort out your apparent attitude problems 3) don't bully students (Queens campus's Accommodation Office know about you and want us to provide regular feedback which unfortunately has so far been for us and yourselves very negative) 4) Charge reasonable prices in-line with competition 5) If charging high prices, provide excellent customer service (which has so far been appalling) 6) Try and focus on making customers feel at ease instead of scaring them into signing.

What agent could do to change your mind?
They should have been upfront with us from the start and mentioned the chain. They were too eager to conclude a sale instead of getting the facts right. After all, they were employed by us not the buyer or anyone else. They should not employ people in a customer facing position who are unfamiliar with the conveyancing process who only made matters worse.
