I find this review extremely hurtful because it is simply not true. We are being pressured to not claim monies that are owed, you signed the contract which clearly detailed our charges for our service of letting and managing your property and we have not charged a penny more. We can not be held to ransom in this manor, are we expected to bend our policies or receive a bad reviews? Your words 'waive all the fees, so we can part on a good terms ', hopefully those who read this review will c ...

With regard to the cancellation regulations it is important to bear in mind where and when the contract is entered into, i.e. if it is an 'on premises contract' this is not applicable, and there is no right to cancel, but it is if it is 'off premises' (i.e. signed at the property with you there and then) it does apply. However in your circumstance, we simply emailed it over for your consideration, the ARLA guidelines do not cover this circumstance specifically, but the intention of the regulat ...
