Utterly appalling rental agent. We made the mistake of taking out a student rental through them. Half way through lockdown they changed the locks without telling any of the 5 tenants, when there was an issue with the property they always struggled to get hold of the landlord, even though he was a Director of Brand Vaughan! Now we have just been charged hundreds per tenant for cleaning the house, yet when we collected my son's belongings the house was left clean and tidy. It seems our experience of them are in line with many, many others. If you are looking for student let, please use a different agent, it will save you a lot of grief and money.

Had a similar situation. Lived in a one bedroom flat in hove, had to wait over a month after tenancy end to see my deductions (not actually receive any money). Over £200 taken off deposit for cleaning alone. Took videos before i left - of course it wasn't in any state to need to spend that money on cleaning. They also are absolutely hopeless on email. Usually wait almost a week for any response. ...
