Terrible company. I had them in to manage a property with sitting tenants a few years ago, and they did literally nothing. They took their commission for a few months, then when the tenants gave notice that they were leaving, Mitchells did not inform me. I only found out because I happened to be in touch with the tenants about something else. They then got one of the tenants to email me to say how great the agency was - very strange.
After that they tried to persuade me that the most I could expect in terms of rent was 1000 to 1050 per month (this was a few years ago). I decided to see for myself, I put in a gumtree ad for 1150 and the phone was ringing off the hook. Within a week I had new tenants in at the higher rent.
When I complained to Mitchells that they had failed to inform me of the notice from the tenants, they refused to give me any refund, even for the month in question. They came across as professional and responsible when I spoke to them initially, but I would never trust them.
What agent could do to change your mind?
They could have been more honest about the market and they could have done their job and informed me when notice was given by the tenants.
