I rented a room in a house share for 13 months with Fab Lets in Hillingdon. Absolutely the worst agents I've had the misfortune to encounter. Adverts for the property were misleading, they promised things including weekly cleaning of communal spaces and gardening that never happened (and when myself and other tenants complained they denied it was ever supposed to happen (even when the ads were still live on the internet). Maintenance issues weren't dealt with properly or in a reasonable timeframe, they demanded access to the property without appropriate notice, and deducted unreasonable amounts from my deposit when I left (for example, electricity for the full 13 months of my tenancy which they has failed to provide details or bill me for before, at a rate far higher than the national average cost). Other tenants in the house also complained repeatedly about all of these issues (we ALL experienced them) yet nothing was done, and most of us left as soon as we practically could.
Comment on agent fees
Expensive and unnecessary fees at every possible opportunity.

My experience with this agency has been appalling. They try to take on as much responsibility for themselves as possible, limiting tenant control over things like internet service, utility providers and maintenance, yet are comically incompetent at managing these things themselves. I would pay them ...
