Consider this. When i recieved the property i lived in for 8 months the kitchen was a mess inside the cupboards, every wall was scuffed or marked, there was dust in the bathroom and there was several things wrong with the place, from the trivial no plug in the kitchen sink, to a leaking pipe in a cupboard that left the kitchen stinking of mold. Oh and the hob that had one ring broken the entire time i lived there. Being in the kitchen trade i repaired all these problems, sealled the worktops that had no joint strips. Completly cleaned the hob that was caked in grime and fixed all the trim around the poorly fitted laminate, at a cost of around £30, woth it cbecause the landlord was a joke when he actually did try and fix anything.
Then when i get my first check up, im told the kitchen was a bit messy. Rightttt ok? It was spotless, i cleaned everything from top to bottem. Then when it came to checking out, that is after 8 months when my landlord decided he wanted to move back i get done over like a kipper. Im told the property is dirty, theres cob webs on the ceiling, theres dirrt on the bath, the windows arnt cleaned, the kitchen is dirty again. Nonsense! So now im being charged £60 to have it cleaned, on top of £60 they never mentioned i have to pay for check out, plus £120 because hous sitting a cat for a week is a massive issue for the landlord, who owned a cat anyway. All in all, ive instructed my solcitors to get my money back from these greedy people.

Its is an annual requirement to check all gas equipment in a property. Something we take very seriously. On Friday 10th October, both the boiler and hob were checked by a Gas Safe Engineer and were found not to be up to current regulations. Both units were shut down our office informed and advise given that it would be most effective to replace both units rather than try and effect repairs. The landlord was informed, agreed to replacement and agreed that both we as agent and he would seek quotes ...

Completely agree with all these comments going through the same thing now, my big issue, other than the ridiculously over the top charges on checkout for non-existent problems is the fact you don't see the contract until checkin when they spring all the check out fees on you, by then its too late to pull out as you have already paid the 100's checkin and admin fees. We had to live with ants for 8 months crawling over our food, they couldn't have given less of a shit and apparently it was ou ...

As this case is subject to a legal dispute it would be inappropriate for us to comment on specific points. There are two sides to every story and we feel we respond in a fair and appropriate manner. As in this case we try and give people as much help as possible when they are distressed, unfortunateley on occassions their response makes us doubt our own judgement. Whilst this person says they will never use our company again, we would never be able to recomend them to a landlord with whom they w ...

Faulkner has a responsibility to its landlords and ensure only the nominated tenants are living in a property and will only inspect individual spaces when invited to do so by the tenant (who had a point to prove) Faulkner are very well of their contractual obligations as should the tenant be when it comes to paying the rent. Faulkner takes all the processes it carries out with maximum care and concern. We will not carry out an argument in public so look forward to any legal action instigated by ...

Glad that I found this site with access to real tenant accounts. I think I'll stay in a hotel/B&B then buy somewhere rather than rent. I understand that agents work for landlords, but they are not doing anyone any favours by treating tenants dismissively. Have to agree with Faulkner about the staff from the ghetto comment though - at best inappropriate. Hard to understand where the reviewer was going with that. Enough to say that the staff are rude, harsh and brash surely? I don't know whether i ...
