Encore estate management decided to send me paperless bills, it means that they charged my service fees in advance by email, as their convenience. I received only a payment reminder from them as the initial went to my spam box and only got it at the end of the month when my quarantaine software popped it for me to accept or discard. Their online payment facilities have not worked for months so I had to pop at my branch and pay. despite all this, my payment was made within their stated deadline. Yet a couple of weeks ago, was bombed by emails by J B Leitch LLP. I am not sure of the contract agreement between these two parties, but a woman called Carolyn Jones contacted me asking me to pay over 1200 pounds for already paid services charges. It is sad that mediocre people can't earn their living in no better way than scamming people who do work for their living, rather than getting back to Encore and clarify that this payment had been already made, Ms Jones had nothing better to do to insist I have to pay for 453 for the 6 days encore did not track my payment. I have already raised this issue to trading standards as an abuse and intend to get to the bottom of how JBLEITCH comes out with their fees, and why they scam clients to pay extraordinary fees for encores poor administrative

21 Jun 2018Do either of you have any update on the Trading Standards complaints. Just been through similar and managed to get JB Leitch's court order overturned. Want to take this further, if you have any useful info. Thanks

My experience has been poor. I find it difficult to get information and sometimes difficult to even get a response from both JM Estates and from Encore Estates. It was not always like this. In my opinion we currently have some big problems at our block of flats which have been going on for years... Read Full Review
The fees are not the issue. It is the quality of service that matters. I estimate this one small branch is dealing with maybe up to 300 properties.

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.
