Dear Martin, Thank you for your comments about the positive experience you enjoyed with our Sales Department. We do pride ourselves on marketing and are proud of our professional photos and adverts. I am sorry you feel as though your experience with our Lettings Department was not to the same standard and I wanted to address the issues with you, as I believed they had been resolved. As you are aware, when a new property is advertised for rent, an EPC is required with a rating of at least an ‘E’. When our EPC accessor visited the property, he could only give the property an ‘F’ rating. Even though you had commissioned this report, we did not charge you for the assessors time. We then worked with you to highlight the issues that downgraded the property to see if we could get the rating up to an E rating. You then commissioned another assessor who gave the rating E, enabling us to advertise the property for rent. I understand that we instructed for the Gas Safety Inspection to be carried out at the property by one of our contractors. After he had visited, a leak occurred. The plumber was happy to go back to fix the issue, but you told us you did not want the same contractor attending. During a tenancy, it is a tenants responsibility to report any maintenance issues to us, but the problems you have highlighted were not reported. We carried out a property inspection in October, and the issues were not apparent. We always point out to tenants the importance of ventilating the property, and this information is included within our tenancy agreement. We conducted a full check out report at the end of the tenancy where we did propose deductions from the deposit due to various issues. As the tenant did not agree to the deductions, we had to involve the adjudicator at My|Deposits and we supplied evidence on your behalf. The adjudicator did not agree to all claims. However, you were still awarded part of the money from the deposit for other issues. We are keen to ensure you have a positive experience with us. I believe we had addressed all these issues during the property tenancies but would be more than happy to discuss the matter further if you have any further questions and to explore if it there are still elements we can learn from in the future.
