Please do not deal with this letting agency, so you will not be trapped same as me, was the worst decision I ever took to deal with them. We had to put them in the court because they still owe us £1350. I tried to rent a house in Leyton, High Road, on 18 October 2017, they asked me for 1 month deposit. On 23 October we signed the contract and they also asked for 2 months of rent in advance . In total we paid £4575 and they promised we will have the key of the house in the middle of November 2017. After middle of November the nightmare started, they always postponed and lying us in a very politely manner that the house is under refurbishment until 9 December when I called to that house and I found out the house was already occupied, rented from another agency. After that, the dispute started, as they could not fulfill their side of contract we received their agreement with the full refund. Finally after visits to the agency, calls, letters and e-mails with legal threatening they refunded on 4 January 2018 only £3225 from the total amount of 4575. Now a bailiff should attend soon to recover the rest of £1350 plus court costs. For all of this time I have had massive stress affecting my well being and I'm still concerned for the rest of amount that I worked very hard for it. After this experience I will never ever think about renting a house in London, so please think twice before paying in advance without a commencement date in contract and the keys of the house ready. Thank you William Huxley!
Comment on agent fees
Bad, they charged us £825 for a 3 bedrooms house, nearly double than a normal price.
