Jordan Fishwick couldn't do enough for me when I first rented the property and as this was my first experience of renting I was impressed. We paid more than I intended to rent for a few months but I thought it was worth it. We rented for a few months until our house was ready and then when it was time to leave that was when it all fell apart.
Dealing with "the other side" and trying to get your deposit back was a nightmare and has totally put me off anything like this in the future. The initial phone call to ask how the leaving check had gone was met with a curt reply and it went downhill from there with them attempting to charge me for things that 1. didn't exist. 2. were wrong or missing when I moved in. To give you an idea a cobweb at the front door was included in the inventory. IT WAS OUTSIDE!!!!
After waiting weeks for any sort of response I telephoned the office and thankfully came across another lady. She was totally different, helpful and friendly. She sorted it and I had most of my deposit back within days. I will be grateful forever that she picked up the phone that afternoon.
It's a terrible situation to be in...they have your money and you are backed into a corner and stuck. I began to wonder if I would actually get anything back at all. Frankly it was frightening.
The reason I am leaving this report is to warn others not to be as green as I was...check the inventory they send with a fine toothcomb, take more photos if you need, add anything they have missed, check that everything works and then let them know. If you are unhappy with anything at all when you move in then let them know...otherwise it becomes your fault.
Basically don't trust them with your money unless you are 100% happy.
What agent could do to change your mind?
There is nothing you can do to help me change my mind about how I feel. I explained at the start that I am ill and should avoid stress. I was quite frankly very frightened and lost a lot of sleep.
Thank goodness for the young lady that got my exasperated call that afternoon and understood and helped me. I feel sure that if she had dealt the whole way through it might have been a different story.
I'm so glad it's all over.

Property rental nightmare. Though the sales side of the business appears okay, the property management and rental management side is appalling. Where do we start? Maybe the beginning. I rented Woodbrook Tower in Alderley and on agreeing the rent, as advertised, the estate agent then tried to increase it 10% right as I was about to sign. Yes incredible and they had no other offers and the property was empty. They then told me it would be cleaned professionally. It clearly wasn't. Including dirty cutlery, dust everywhere and a coffee machine with mold in. They knew it had not been properly cleaned as they had provided the Landlord with two quotes, which he rejected.
Even the estate agent showing me around said it was dirty.
On access to the property I noticed a lot of flies around. It soon became apparent there was a serious infestation of flies, which was well known and at one point wasps in the top living area of the property. Nothing was ever done and I was even told just get fly killer! The property was also old and damp. Then I got a notification they wanted to up the rent another 20%. Yes 20%.
But before that a lady call Jasmine was sent around to photograph and film every room and take photos of all my personal property. It was a massive unexpected intrusion of my privacy. She said she had been told to do it, making out she had that right. That's how they now document an inspection. Including photos of any papers on the table or usage of any items in the property. It was incredibly distressing. But that's how these guys like to operate. I also complained about the flies again, but she said that would be down to the landlord to resolve and as property managers they had no involvement or responsibility to me.
Finally, after I cleaned the property to a far far higher standard than I inherited it. They told me they would be deducting a full professional clean from my deposit. This is after I was effectively forced out due to them hiking the rent up .. As they obviously had someone else lined up. Overseas people.
A fellow neighbour told me the property was due major roof repairs and that is probably why it is damp.
So please take this as a warning. This was a £2500 pcm property and now rented out to the next people at 20% more.

Absolutely the worst estate agent - AVOID THEM After a rental transaction went sideways we were told that our admin fees would be refunded (£528) but 6 weeks and after being fobbed off a lot we still haven't had our money back based on some kind of error to do with them having card details that look like they were pulled up out of thin air (not our problem) So I'm £500 out of pocket while they seem to just be avoiding my calls and emails and claiming to be on my side yet not sorting out this issue.

I have just come across the review I left 18 months ago and am astonished that I gave it 3 stars. How polite!! They don't deserve one star. Someone only has to mention renting and I tell the story of my disgraceful experience at the hands of Jordan Fishwick. It's a terrible memory and the difficulty I had getting my deposit back sticks with me. Ad does a fact that I didn't mention in my review initially. The electrician visited to do an inspection on the night we moved in. Strange in itself and most inconvenient but not ad bad as his words....good job you're already in or I would have prevented it...due to these live wires in the hall!!! Nothing more to be said really and he did fix them. I should have run at that point!!!

How refreshing to deal with a friendly and enthusiastic lettings agent who has actually been to the property and could answer all of our questions during the viewing. Having someone who obviously knows a property well and puts it across in such a positive manner reassured us as prospective tennants. Owners of properties they look after should be rather smug with how they are being looked after. Neighbouring lettings agencies take note how it should be done!

Hi The efficiency of Kirsty was excellent and she was very prompt in answering my emails prior to me moving in. However , the property was unclean, dirty walls, dirty bed mattress, filthy oven, microwave and the dishwasher had dishes in it, which looked like they had been there for years. I did not have a postbox key until Charlotte (Hale office) dealt with my case. It was 7 days after taking on the lease that I got a postbox key. The flat alarm was inoperative also. I am very disappointed in the standard of the flat and the agency should check if it is fit to let (i.e look in cupboards, open up the oven, check alarms etc) I have spent a lot time trying to get things rectified. Re the cleanliness I have hired a cleaner to give the property a proper clean. As I will be buying a property in the next 6 months , I will be not be using the services of Jordan Fishwick

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
