If you are a prospective tenant, I advise exercising caution regarding this management company if they oversee the property you are considering renting. Throughout our 4.5-year tenancy, we consistently fulfilled our obligations by paying rent on time and in full, maintaining the flat in good condition—as confirmed by periodic inspections—and rarely inconveniencing the landlord with issues. However, our experience upon vacating the property was ridiculous, despite providing notice that exceeded our contractual obligations. Alongside our landlord, the agent attempted to claim our entire £1,500 deposit through the Deposit Protection Service. They allowed the landlord to leave us without a washing machine for over three months and attempted to breach one of their own contract terms by trying to raise the rent beyond the limit they had established, which occurred during two consecutive rent reviews. The team's ability to conduct professional correspondence was lacking; their emails conveyed an unwarranted sense of superiority and were written as if they were factual rather than opinion-based. We were unwilling to be intimidated into paying amounts for which we were not responsible. The Deposit Protection Service ultimately ruled in our favor, awarding the landlord a small proportion of what they claimed. We were fortunate that we did not require our deposit back promptly having only just received it back 4 months after vacating the property. This was due to it being held by the Deposit Protection Service whilst the dispute was dealt with. Having rented properties for 15 years, I have never encountered such unprofessional behavior.
