All started ok when taking the tenancy but boy oh boy did it go downhill after that! had all sorts of problems with the property including, among many things: no hot water/heating for almost a week during freezing weather, leak through electric light in bedroom when it rained, had to replace oven ourselves as the existing one was dangerous (then TOLD to leave it when we left (too much more to list! Lenwell consistently had to wait for a useless landlord (who wanted to do nothing really), to get back to them with 'authority' before doing anything about the problems while we were just 'stuck' waiting. Had no showers for 9 weeks! Had to use 'grips' to operate bath taps for weeks until landlord deemed she would have them replaced. Only given ONE key for an agreement with FOUR tenants on. On vacating we had the carpets cleaned and paid for professional cleaners, BUT they charged us for it to be cleaned again and for the garden to be done which didn't need doing other than grass cut which we couldn't do as it was winter and far too wet (£55 to cut the grass?). Then when we finally got back what was left of our deposit, it was by cheque (how draconian is that?), and it BOUNCED! Finally got it SIX weeks after we moved out! They rarely return calls when you have a problem either and can be quite brusque, bordering on rude if it's something they really don't want to bother with/causing aggravation. Had to contact the operations manager in the end to get our money back. Ironically, we do repairs/maintenance work for one of their landlords (so who we will be recommending they change agent) as they come direct to us anyway so only needed for 'advertising', which any agent can do! Thank goodness the law has now changed (sadly not for us but from 1st June 2019), whereby agents can't now charge 'exit fees', 'exit cleaning fees', 'reference check fees' etc.

Very true . Even I am having the same issue . There is no hot water facility apart from shower (over a month now) as due to short circuit in house for which they have not even provided the electrician and I got my mine who charged me £90 for 10 minutes . I have not received money yet from Lenwell which they said they will pay me back. That's sad and no signs of professionalism. ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
They just need t have an ethical code of standards that they can follow. They tend to give themselves awards and display them on their websites/ email signatures but you can never actually find these awarding organisations. Lenwell give themselves their awards. All of their staff are trained to maximize profit without any ethical guidelines, essentially like chuggers or cold callers.
