Martin & Co in Allerton took over management of the property that we were renting in Crosby (L23) earlier this year. At this time we were looking to upsize and became aware that a larger flat in the property was available as our neighbour was vacating.

Comments on Agent Fees
Expensive. This would have been £300 to move in. The agent we eventually went with charged £40 to reference two of us. They trade as OpenRent.

Martin & Co in Allerton took over management of the property that we were renting in Crosby (L23) earlier this year. At this time we were looking to upsize and became aware that a larger flat in the property was available as our neighbour was vacating.
We contacted the landlord and he advised that all enquiries must now go through the agency.
We were not aware of this as they had not made us aware that they had taken over the management of the property.
They pencilled us in for a viewing and I questioned the fee structure. These fees were expensive. £250 for referencing and £50 to check-in for us to move to the flat upstairs. We had been fully vetted for our current property, paid all fees at the time and there was no change in our circumstances.
Basically, as it would mean us not moving out and them/the landlord not losing out on revenue and because we had been good tenants, we did not expect to need to pay fees. I was assured that this would be looked into and they would come back to us.
I sent an e-mail to confirm that I was expecting this information before committing to the viewing. I sent another e-mail four days later (a couple of days before the viewing) and nobody came back to me.
Eventually I called to be told that I had been made aware that the fees would apply in the first instance. This was not true. I explained that we would not go ahead with the viewing and it was cancelled.
I contacted the landlord and he intervened and they offered to halve the fees. We agreed to view the flat above us but by the time the viewing came around, the flat had gone. Nicely played by them.
We chose to move out at the end of our 12 month tenancy. We were already upsizing and sceptical of having our property managed by people that did not respond to our messages.
Cleaned the flat, made it perfect and attended the check out meeting. Gave them their keys and they had no issues with the property.
20 days later I contacted them to chase up my deposit. I was informed that the person responsible was out of the office but would come back to me later that day. They did not. They didn't come back the next day. I called the following day and was informed un-politely that they did not know why I was contacting them when the landlord deals with this.
I contacted our former landlord. He did not know that we had moved out of the property and did not know that he needed to release our deposit. He did that promptly when we intervened.
I called the agency and questioned this and their attitude. They claimed to have sent the landlord a check-out document. I will never know whether this actually was the case but the service was poor. I could still be waiting for the deposit now had I not intervened.
These guys tried to fleece us and we may still be living in the building if they hadn't.
I note that the property is still vacant (moved out approx two months ago), so they could be costing the landlord a few quid as well!

Comments on Agent Fees
Fees are acceptable if they kept in touch with clients.

I would never recommend this agent for letting and neither would any of my neighbours.

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.
