It is unfortunate that you feel the need to leave a review of this nature. However, you have been given the opportunity to dispute the deposit claim via a government backed scheme that protects your deposit with no further response from yourselves. You seem to have overlooked that it is a landlord that files a claim not the agent. ...

Dear Andrew Thank you for your comments, i am dissapointed that you feel this way however i can assure you that Hilbery Chaplin take matters like this very seriously. I am aware of the property this relates to and whilst i understand your frustration the issues with regard to deposit disputes are handled by the Tenancy Deposit Scheme if you feel a Landlord is being unfair. I am aware you chose to not dispute the landlords claim which is entirely your decision. As an agent we are to take in ...
