Yep, just like everyone else, Enfields Lettings found a way to screw me over finally. I was paying three months in advance, keeping the place in perfect condition, made no unreasonable demands etc etc, and Despite leaving on good terms, having respected the property which I left in better condition than I found it - signed check out agreement and paid my fees. With no reason, they still refuse (illegally) to return my deposit, which is still in their account accruing interest I guess... I believe its Imran who makes these decisions - but it seems they try and steal everyone's deposit as a matter of normal procedure, just look at these reviews! I perhaps got away lightly, just having the deposit stolen. Most reviews here sound pretty unpleasant. Don't be fooled, you cannot reason with these people, they will lie, obfuscate, or even talk complete idiocy to take the edge off your thought process until grinding you down. Luckily the deposit scheme in charge of the insurance is chasing them now, and I have a legal property expert working on a damages case. This act was so blatant and gratuitous, its almost too stupid to be believed. For sure they do this with students as standard practice, so if you are a student, stay well away. Oxford is not great for renting, a lot of agencies will try to get you to pay a years rent in advance - and inflate prices, fees, and provide sub-standard accommodation in return. if in doubt, speak with your college and student advisers before contacting any Oxford agencies. Private is still the safest choice for renting.
Comment on agent fees
Bad - high, and they will still steal from you.
