What agent could do to change your mind?
1. More attentive and responsive, reply to emails or set up an out of office reply with other agents to be contacted 2. make sure that an inventory is carried out, particularly if that is specified in the contract 3. Make sure that the landlord is ready to move out when advertising the availability date 4. even when the property is not managed, make sure to act as an intermediary between the landlord and the tenant (as we have experienced with other agents)

Comment on agent fees
We paid as much as we did with other agents in the past and after that but we feel we got less. Basically, the agent was really present (and with wrong information about the availability of the flat) only during the initial phase of the negotiations in which we ended up paying more than the posted price.

Dear Paola and Mattia Thank you for constructive feedback and recommendations on how our service and communications can be improved. We regret that your experience was not to the high standard our reputation has been built on. I apologise for any inconvenience caused throughout your tenancy, and I will ensure that your previous landlord is aware of the feedback as well to avoid these issues recurring with future tenancies.

What agent could do to change your mind?
- Don't pick up to phone all sweetness and light, and then shout across the office Vendor 140! and make rude comments about me WITHOUT remembering to press the mute button. - Don't come to my house and make fake comments about how much you love it, because they were so obviously not sincere it is untrue. Just be professional, that is all that is required. You are not buying it after all. - Communicate with your buyers about how viewings have gone rather than treating them like something sticky and unpleasant on the bottom of your shoe when they ring for feedback. I shouldn't have even had to ring for feedback, you should ring me!

The house was always going to be a quick sale (it sold the week after the open day) so for the work involved the fees were extortionate.

Dear Christina, I am very sorry to hear that you experienced issues with a member of our team during the viewing stage of your sales process. It is our aim to provide feedback to all of our clients within 24 hours of a viewing being conducted, the only exception to this would be viewings conducted on a Saturday, and these would be fed back to our clients the next working day. It is a shame that you did not raise your concerns with me at the time, this would have allowed me to manage the commu ...

It is interesting that Lauristons have only responded to this issue now that a review has been left. Prior to that, I was 'fobbed off' with the comments I have already detailed. I would imagine the £1200 will not be on record because the sale did not go through. I stand by comments, as my experience left me considerably out of pocket and shocked at the underhand tactics of Lauristons. ...

Dear Alex, Thank you for your comment, the landlord decided to sell your proeprty shortly after move in, we were unaware of this plan upon letting the property, but never the less we did take their instructions to sell. It was not our decision to sell the property nor is it in breach of the tenanancy agreement to sell a property with tenants in sitio. Requests were made to you and no viewings went ahead without your prior notice as far as I am aware, when any were reported to be inconveni ...

Thank you for your feedback. Firsty we did not manage this property, so we cannot be held responsible for the original delay in your moving in or any maintenance issues during the tenancy, you were informed of this on move in to the property. You report a delay in getting you into view the property, this was because the landlord was awaiting completion on the property after purchasing it. We made sure you were the very first person to view the property as you needed to move urgently. Rega ...
