Sherlock Homes Estate Agents - Manchester, M21

they are a joke, im now going through same thing with them. sayin loads of damage to property ive moved out of. met landlady there she agreed all was fine. now they want all bills proof im uptodate. done research today the woman that owns company HELEN ARMSTRONG is under cps investigation as she stole£42,500. from wren propertys when she worked for them. they are a underhand sly agents. never use them

I moved out of a sherlock homes house 3 months ago. They insisted before they would return the deposit they needed proof that I had paid all the bills up to date. We went in and had all the final bills photocopied. They then said we needed a bill to prove we hadn't had a telephone line. so... you want me to call up a company i haven't used and get them to confirm in writing i haven't used them? I'm sure that's standard practice... NOT! 3 months later still no deposit, our file with the photocopies has gone missing and the girl that did it has "left." Absolutely shocking all I advise is if you are in one of their property's you start planning your exit now. Otherwise you will be waiting a long time for any money!

Hi, I wish I did a research on this letting agency before. I just move d out and now disputing over bulbs and iron board which I never used...the problem is that when I moved out all bulbs were working and I never used yhe iron board, now I m in dispute for 80 pounds... The problem is how to prove it when I cleaned all the home and left in a better condition than moved in, i made photos of every room, but did not think to make photo of lights on....

OMG, this is too much of a co-incidence. My Boyfriend and I rented off a an estate agent in Manchester a few years ago by the name of Design Living who were completely corrupt, their director Raymond Sherlock closed up without telling anyone and left tenants and landlords in trouble whilst holding on to their deposits. We never got our deposit back, we put in numerous complaints and never received anything even close to an explanation for all our trouble with them. If its the same people starting up again under this new name please avoid them at all costs.
