They charge staggering fees!! They were not up front about them at all and despite my asking them several times if there were any fees I should know about they only drop the bomb at the last minute when we are desperate to move in.

600 in total for a 1 bed flat which coincidentally is the same amount as the holding deposit. Same to the landlord far as I can see.
What agent could do to change your mind?
Not charge such insane fees, and being transparent about them from the outset.

We had exactly the same problem. We asked if there were any hidden fees before we moved and were told there were none. On moving day when desperate suddenly we have to pay hundreds of pounds in admin costs and legal costs etc etc. I can remember if it was as much as £600 , we managed to reduce it a bit but was definitely more than £100 for each of the 3 of us moving in.

Comment on agent fees
These do not at all reflect the service FJL provide, not only was the service poor and incomplete when I questioned them on it they were arrogant and defensive which I don't expect when paying for a premium service. You cannot claim to provide a list of services to validate a huge fee then when these services are not delivered shrug off responsibility.

I was charged £300 for tenant referencing and changing one name on the tenancy when I took it over from another tenant. This is three times any amount I have paid before. When I received the contract I found my signature had been forged so I was not able to raise concerns about any of the clauses. The worst of these is that it says they keep any interest accrued on our deposit. THIS IS NOT COMPLIANT with the tenancy deposit scheme. There are several things which don't work or are in poor repair ...

They take your card details before putting an offer through to the landlord and if the offer is accepted they withdraw a £1000 security deposit. This security deposit is mainly to secure THEMSELVES that you wont back away from your offer or you'll lose your deposit ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
They should immediately inform you of ALL of their fees, not tell you while you are filling in an offer form. Far too much information required for guarantors, even after that they charge ‚£30 for a further previous landlord reference and expect you to sort it out.
