This covers damages or defaults on the part of the tenant during the tenancy. This is not payable if the Nil deposit option has been selected.
UNPAID RENT - INTEREST AT 3% ABOVE THE BANK OF ENGLAND BASE RATE
This is payable from the rent due date until paid in order to pursue non-payment of rent. Please note - this will not be levied until the rent is more than 14 days in arrears.
LOST KEY(S) AND/OR OTHER SECURITY DEVICE(S)
Tenants are liable for the actual cost of replacing any lost key(s) or other security device(s). If the loss results in locks needing to be changed, the actual costs of a locksmith, new lock and replacement keys for the tenant, landlord and any other persons requiring keys will be charged to the tenant. If extra costs are incurred there will be a charge of £15 per hour (incl VAT) for the time taken replacing lost key(s) or other security device(s).
HOLDING DEPOSIT (per tenancy) - EQUAL TO ONE WEEKS RENT (monthly rent x 12/52)
This is to reserve a property and if the tenancy proceeds, will be deducted from the first months’ rent. Please note – this will be withheld if any relevant person (including any guarantor(s)) withdraw from the tenancy, fail a Right to Rent check, provide materially significant false or misleading information, or fail to sign their tenancy agreement (and/or Deed of Guarantor) within 15 calendar days (or other deadline for agreement as mutually agreed in writing).

To cover the costs associated with taking landlord’s instructions, new tenant referencing and Right to Rent checks, deposit registration as well as the preparation and execution of new legal documents.
EARLY TERMINATION (Tenants request)
Should the tenant wish to leave their contract early, this is subject to the landlord’s agreement and the tenant shall be liable for the landlord’s costs in re-letting the property as well as all rent due under the tenancy until the start date of the replacement tenancy. These costs will be no more than the maximum amount of rent outstanding on the tenancy.
SECURITY DEPOSIT (per tenancy for rent of £50,000 or over per year) – EQUAL TO SIX WEEKS RENT
This covers damages or defaults on the part of the tenant during the tenancy. This is not payable if the Nil Deposit option has been selected.
If I were you I wouldn't just move on to another estate agent and leave this one alone...if you're so appalled make sure other buyers don't fall into the same trap as you.
Duncan Yeardley aren't a huge chain of estate agents and seemed to pride themselves on their reputation. If Duncan has a 'Rogue Agent' (excuse the pun) then you should let him know. Go in to the shop at Crown Wood and tell him what you did and what you found. Doing so would surely, only make them a better estate agent than what they already are.
Personally when i used Duncan Yeardley I couldn't have been more impressed. Add to that the seemingly faultless reviews from everyone else and the way your review is written, I'd go as far as to say your review is a little suspect. Are you sure you're not a competitor attempting to blemish Duncan Yeardley's reputation?
Despite what you've found - I would use Duncan Yeardley again. Streets ahead of any other estate agent I went to.
