After having viewed several properties with several different agents we decided to rent a property through Tenant Direct and moved in, in July 2011. The property was an older property and during our tenancy we have had several maintenance issues arise, from a leaking washing machine ...

Worst landlords I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Had 3 viewings, no basic questions were answered. AVOID THIS AGENCY!!!! They start off pleasant then once you have paid if you have any questions they are basically rude and have no, even basic, information.

In response your comments are completely unfair, you are refering to a property owned by our company. As you are well aware the property has been refurbished to an extremely high standard for your occupation. Some £60,000 was spent on renovations ready for you to move in. The problems encountered in planning are related to new legislation introduced after your reservation.
Article 4 was introduced into planning legislation on March 23rd some months after you signed up for the property.

To improve they need to vet there landlords better, They need to improve there communication and also they need to improve there customer service. When its your job to deal with the public (or anyone) you have to have brilliant customer service skills. They dont.Attached Filesnbsp;

I lived in a property managed by tenant direct for two years and I have had a good experience with them.
We had a few issues throughout the tenancy with maintenance issues and they always responded quickly and the property managers were very friendly.

I totally agree with your comments from my daughters personal experience. Letting themselves in with out any notice and when no one was home. On one occasion let themselves in without any notice accompanied by viewers whilst one of the flat mates was in her bedroom after just getting out of the shower still in a towel! The proceeded to bang on her bedroom door was was told (not ased) that the viewers wanted to take a look around her room. When she objected she was told to stop making a fuss ...

What agent could do to change your mind?
- avoid to bring future tenants to visit the flat without previous advise entering my room almost without asking - avoid to call me asking if I remember to pay the rent one day before the due date - pay back the deposit within the 14/16 working days after landlord approval as specified in the contract - give PROMPT communication if the all of a sudden the contract has to be paid directly to the landlord and not through them -.give more respect to custemers even if they are student and they come and go very quickly - formal treatment is required when money are involved.Attached Filesnbsp;

Again apologies if the customer service experience was not what it should have been for you when dealing with our company, however from the agent\'s side we have a job to do in order to chase up outstanding funds and in and cannot allow the tenancy to commence without full funds being paid and cleared prior to move in. If all funds were paid and all paperwork complete there is no reason why you would not have been allowed to move in, we would need further details in order to investigate further, ...
