Very poor service and very bad professional approach by the OpenHouse online estate agents at South harrow branch in London.
my whole experience with them was just like worst nightmare as landlord.

* rent was never paid on the date in the contract. multiple emails are not answered asking for rent.

* full agent fees are taken at the beginning of the yearly contract and after first quarter no service is provided, never payed fees back. i have ended up paying fees to other agent as he refuse to give service.

* deducted £1000 from the rent without concerning me for work not done at the property. That was exposed when we did quarterly inspection of the property. where agent admitted that the work was not done.

* Rent deposit is not been returned nor the dispute is settled, i have made multiple complaints but no response.

* even after 10 weeks action is taken for my complaint. Agent is paid so he is not bothered about my loss as landlord or inconvenience caused to me.

* Neighbors complained that the property was many times occupied by more then 10 people, while contract was only for one family of 4. 2 adult and 2 kids.

* agents did not bother when tenant did damage to property and furniture.

* tenants made mess in the property,did not at all maintain the property which made me spend over £2000 to get to the standard.

* microwave, very good quality matters is stolen. dining table, bad frame and wardrobe is completely damaged to the irreparable level.

* even after multiple complaints to the head office and agent, no one responded to the complaint. even after 10 weeks of the official complaint no response from any one.
List is endless to complaint.

My personal request to all is not to go with this online agency.

They are not at all reliable.

Hi Virat,
If you allow me to put the copy of the inventory check in and check out pictures, copy of the service agreement. I guess that will be more than enough and useful for people seeing your comments. I am sure that people will be able to justify from there itself.

If you think you could provide an extremely poor quality property and do not show any intention to get it right but still expect a full rent from tenants then I am afraid you need that agent you have been raving about. Remember what and how you give your property is how it will be given back to you, if you think there is anything wrong in this then I am afraid I cannot help.

just to update every one - I complained on health and safety department of council and after inspecting the house and condition Mr Kash shah and his agency were told to do all the necessary repairs ... we were given the option of not vacating but we chose not to deal with this guy. He had to return our full deposit back and couldn't immediately rent unless he fixes the issues- he was given a fixed period to fix all the issues. I also reported to open house as he is just a franchise holder and t ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
I am a landlord renting various properties in Wembley and surrounding area. I have always used the same 2 local agents to rent all my properties. One of the agents there called Kash Shah left one of the agents to work for the other and then left to work for an online agency called Open House. He has since been emailing me and calling me constantly asking me to give him my properties which I am not prepared to do. I have always been happy with the agents I use and have no desire to hand my properties to some online company that no one has heard of. I feel that Kash Shah has hounded me and also taken my personal details with him which surely is against data protection. He is totally unprofessional. I believe from speaking to my agents that he is being sued already by both companies and is being taken to court. I appreciate agents are always keen but Kash Shah is too much. He is too persistant and has also made many bad remarks about the agents he himself used to work for. People like him give agents a bad name.
