We put in an offer and told it was accepted so we also paid a deposit to take the property off the market.
After a couple of days, the property could still be found on various websites despite paying close to £1K so we followed up. It took 6 days for us to finally get an update that the landlord 'changed his mind'
As a poor consolation, we were pushed a very dissatisfying alternative which seemed more an attempt to keep the holding fee rather than find a suitable alternative.
With the understanding that this is tends to be the nature of the volatile London property market, the slow response and iffy practice of sudden withdrawal of offer points to transparency issues and opens the door to speculate unethical profiling of potential tenants.
Comment on agent fees
Considering the result, fees seem rather inflated.
