Unable to comment as their fees, and their perception of what constitutes their fees, seem to be two different things.

What agent could do to change your mind?

Far too much needs improving but heres a few Better communication between staff and their tenants Actually providing evidence as to how and why you came to these decisions When tenents provide evidence that they have not done something (holes in the wall) instead of making up some reason why I isnt your staff maybe just fix the issue, considering you find it very diffcult to provide evidence yourselves Give the tenant chance to rectify the problems before they leave the property (although I have proof there wasn't anything to rectify) Instead of lying and saying what the tenant whats to hear i.e once youve sent this in we can send out your cheque, maybe explain there are futher issues that need to be dealt with this reduces the amount of times the tenant has to ring


Comments on Agent Fees

Charged a ridiculous amount for admin fees when first entering the property Charged a further ridiculous amount when leaving the property without providing evidence as to why (toast crumbs on the side does not take £260 pounds to clean!!!!!!)
