Dear Readers & fellow victims of fraud, Lee Clarke of Berkshire Estate Agents Ltd has stolen a significant amount of my money, by collecting a substantial amount of rent from the tenant over many months, and then keeping that money for himself. I intend to recover all of that money (with costs). I did some research on Lee Clarke. Do you know that another estate agency (âBerkshire Property Servicesâ) was run out of exactly the same address from where Lee Clarke is running his agency? Apparently, the owner of that agency collected tens of thousands of pounds of landlords' money and disappeared to Spain in around 2012 (checkout Marbellepads.com). There is evidence to show that the owner of that agency is known to Lee Clarke? Well, Lee Clarke does not know that he is not going to get away with this theft as easily as his mate did 8 years ago. Please know that you can not only take Berkshire Estate Agents to court, you can sue Lee Clarke personally for fraud. Also, please register your complaints with Slough Trading Stands Commission. I have already done so; they have said that they will be able to move forward more swiftly if other victims also come forward with their evidence. You might also be interested to know that if Trading Standards Commission take up the matter, it will be a criminal case; therefore, Lee Clarke may well also do jail time if convicted. BTW, can anyone recommend a good law firm in Slough? I live outside slough; I have been told that it would be best to instruct a Slough firm because they would be able to link up with Lee Clarke's other victims. Therefore, if you know any good law firm in Slough, please post the name here.
bad.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
No procedure set.
