We are renting a property from this wonderfully avaricious estate agency at the moment. The property itself being widely overpriced is a fault of the greedy landlord, and a common occurrence in London, so not much to note there. However what is frustrating is the fact that Felicity J Lord have charged us exorbitant fees just to move in. "Tenancy agreement fee" of 150 pounds each. Plus VAT of course! They convinced the landlord to have a professional inventory carried out thereby costing us even more. All in all up to 300 pounds each in fees to move into an ex local authority flat. What did we get for these fees? Virtually nothing. They also lied through their teeth about various points such as repairs to be made to the flat. All in all I would recommend that everybody in London give Felicity J Lord a wide, wide berth from now on. Do not trust Felicity J Lord.

These are the worst estate agents do not use. They try to catch you out on technicalities wherever they can and even if you spot it before them, they still double down and use scare tactics. It's clear they've been trained to operate like this ...

Great service by Monika & Inga while letting a place in Shad Thames. First, they were very clear about what I should expect as a landlord, managing my expectations to the higher end of the range. Second, they were able to meet these expectations, securing a ...

Comment on agent fees
Almost three times the industry average for a change of name on the contract - ‚£360?! That is the cost of a whole new tenancy. Do not expect anything but deceit and inaction as soon as you've signed the contract! Any works required prior to moving in which the fee apparently covers will not be completed.

The agency is only good at signing contracts.
We had some issues with the flat, which took 3 times as long to fix as you would normally expect. Also, I would barely call that fixing, as some of the issues were never fixed, while others were ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
Start taking care of your existing customers. Stop charging fees that barely anyone else does (e.g. referencing once moved out of the property).Attached Filesnbsp;
