We rented through Tobin Jones for 5 long years. They are APPALLING! DO NOT RENT FROM THIS LOT.
They seem to specialise in employing rude people for their "team". John Ryan (apparently no longer blighting tenants lives) is one of the most pompous men I have ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have been friendly. They could even have been polite. Not likely - the rot begins and ends with Mr Tobin Jones.

Comment on agent fees
They attempt to charge for all sorts of things. They like to see what they can get away with and clearly view tenants as cerebrally challenged inferior beings.

What agent could do to change your mind?
They are extremely underhand and untrustworthy for both tenants and landlords. They get contractors in to properties when it is not necessary therefore ripping off the landlord and they let tenants move into properties that are not up to the standard they expect when a tenant checks out. I know of others who have had similar bad experiences with them. In fact, I do not personally know of anyone who has been happy with Tobin Jones. Sorry but nothing would make me use this agent again, as a tenant or landlord.

What agent could do to change your mind?
The agent should really have checked the landlord wanted me before taking the holding fee- and it was clear they were never going to accept me, they should have been honest at the outset rather then taking my holding deposit. They shouldn't take a holding deposit and then offer the property to another tenant.
