These guys are a bunch of sharks - they hide behind a complaints 'process' that involves a Director, assessing a colleagues performance (needless to say their colleague in this case was also their friend). With a little more than 2 weeks until the occupancy date, the landlord, who was also the Area Manager for the letting agent, decided to inform us that their new property was not available, they had to delay their move, and we would not be able to take up occupancy. At no point were we informed (in writing or any other means) that our occupancy was conditional on the purchase of their new property going through. More worrying, they were unable to confirm a date that this would be resolved. We were ultimately left homeless as the landlord at our previous property had already let the place that we were living in (as one does?). They offered absolutely no support in sourcing alternative accomodation, noting that the property market was a tough place to be. Funny thing that - we were experiencing this first hand. At least they had a home to go to when they were done with their day jobs. They also did not offer an ounce of support for any additional costs, of which there were many, which effectively forced us to pull out of the deal. The also insisted that this was entirely our choice as they would love to have us as tenants, how selfless of them. Throughout the lettings, contracting and complaints processes, we were treated like the 'other party'. They exhibited very little care or regard for our wellbeing and absolutely everything they did, was done to protect the landlord. Their mate. They always fell back to the fact that there was no contract in place, and a holding fee had been paid (once again to protect the landlord), but we were welcome to back out of the offer. Needless to say, the complaints process was an even bigger waste of my time. They called us liars, saying we had been informed of the conditions of tenancy... nonsense. To be honest, I was not suprised by this outcome - with a conflict of interest such as this, it is expected that they would behave with impunity and without integrity. I will never rent from you sharks again, Prospect Lettings.
