Avoid Credential Estate Agents Ltd – Unfair Deposit Deductions I had a very disappointing experience with Credential Estate Agents Ltd and would strongly advise others to steer clear. Upon moving out of the property, they retained a portion of my deposit citing socalled "cleaning issues" — ... Read Full Review

Shocking company with a bullying and rude property manager called Oliver Cargill whose attitude towards my daughters complaint against him was unpleasant in the extreme. My daughter and her friends were exemplary tenants and the manner in which they were treated was ... Read Full Review

How they treat tenants is appalling. They were dishonest and when we challenged them on this fact, their Director (who is supposed to set the tone of the organisation!) then initiated a series of aggressive phone calls rather than admit their lie. Do not engage with them unless absolutely ... Read Full Review

My boyfriend and I have been letting through Credential for the last 18-months and it has been an absolute pleasure. Our letting agent, Ollie, has been excellent from the get-go. He explained everything fully before we moved in and continued his professionalism throughout the whole let. Any problem ... Read Full Review

I've been a tenant via Credential for a number of years and the level of service has been abysmal. Communication is terrible, our assigned Agent, Ollie, is rude, short, blunt, patronising and unresponsive to simple, courteous correspondence. I'd never use nor recommend Credential to any ...

I found Credential to be very rude and unhelpful when trying to make an offer as a self-employed prospective tenant. They refused to recognise any form of proof of income and told me I needed 4 months rent up front or a guarantor. I asked them to confirm this with the landlord and after I chased ...

1. They could have offered a decent referencing service, given that this is included in their letting fees. 2. They could have at least been knowledgeable about the referencing process. Other agencies are able to accept an accountant\'s reference in lieu of an employer reference, but the agent I spoke to didn\'t appear to have heard of this. I was put on hold while the agent checked with the director and came back with the seemingly arbitrary 4 month figure. 3. They could have called me back when I was expecting information from them. 4. If the rejection was purely down to the landlord, they could have apologised instead of blaming me.

Not only were they rude and unhelpful, they appear to be lacking in simple tenancy knowledge and do not carry out correct procedures with regards to tenancy agreements. I note that they are not affiliated with ARLA who are the leading organisation for letting agents. This may illustrate their ... Read Full Review

We saw one property with Ollie and really liked it. Straight away we offered. WE had to chase them the following week, which is when we were told that the Landlord no longer wanted to let the property! We understand this can happen, although it is irritating. We asked to be kept in mind should ... Read Full Review
Present offers to Landlord If you do have an issue with applicants pulling out after an offer has been accepted, take a holding deposit along with the offer! Not rule out applicants on the basis of their job titles- My title suggests commission based, but infact I am on a high basic with no commision plus I own a property which gives me enough income from the rent to cover my rent! Use common sense. If two names are simiar but one is less letters, it is probably a NICK NAME (ie I\'m guessing Ollie\'s real name is Oliver)

Fees are ludicrous. They charge far more than anyone else (except perhaps Foxtons). Not bnly does the tenant pay heavily up front (references checks, deposit scheme insurance etc etc) but they also charge on every renewal. In fact this is the only agent I have seen that charges for the deposit ... Read Full Review

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.
No procedure set.
