Dear George I am very sympathetic for the position you find yourself in. I feel it is important to put forward the full picture. As you are aware, there were multiple offers on the property when you initially offered hence the various negotiations in getting your offer agreed subject to contract and references. Once you had put down a deposit the property was withdrawn from the market immediately and there have been no viewings since. One of the potential tenants that had seen the propert ...

Hi Peter, We are the tenants in the flat above Felicity’s. Completely understand your point that your agency is paid just to manage our flat but you are stretching the truth when you say repairs have been done to a good enough standard .. your agency took five days to address a leak that was going through electrical fittings.. advice from the fire brigade about the risk of a fire was dismissed.. and oh! Earlier this year we found a live electricity line under the other leaking bath tub ... BL ...

We have a great deal of sympathy with some of our tenants when it comes to deposit release. The fact is that, as the agent, we cannot release the deposit until both parties agree on costs and dilapidations and this often takes much longer than is desirable. This is the law and we have to work within it, however we make every effort to act as expediently as possible. - BLM ...
