This comment relates to a member of staff KFH fired a number of years ago. As the new Lettings Branch Manager, I launched the dedicated Lettings department in October 2012 we run a very professional, polite, friendly department which offers only the very best in service far above and beyond our competitors. This has resulted in this office being no.1 in the entire company a testimant to our business ethics. Our knowledge of our market on both sales and lettings is the highest in the area and we ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have responded more quickly, been more sympathetic. Replied to our emails / calls / voicemails. Been more professional in their manner. Apologised when they were in the wrong. Allowed us contact with our landlord in order to speed up certain processes. Not given our keys out to random members of the landlord's family. Informed us when builders were coming round, so we weren't surprised by strange men in our flat first thing in the morning (an essential, in a house of girls).

They could also have proposed alternative flats.

KFH have not really done anything helpful for us as tenants - but have been a source of frustration. They are not proactive in fixing issues, rarely helpful, prefer dealing with things over the phone rather than face to face - and are not apologetic when things go wrong.
