Hello Emma Thank you for your review, however I’m sorry we were unable to satisfactorily source you a property. Having looked into your customer journey, whilst it is true that post requesting a viewing from the WhatsApp tours provided by Tom, that he took two days to respond, we hope you can appreciate this was both; during peak months for sales and lettings, in addition to happening whilst we were operating with less staff due to the ongoing pandemic.

The fees are too much. The Agent may need to review and get away with fees that are not necessary. Deposit protection and check in fees need not be charged, for example.
