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.

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 ...

What agent could do to change your mind?

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.

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


What agent could do to change your mind?

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.
