You have been warned if the letting agent is using this company AVOID at all costs !!!!! Removed money from my account without my consent and charged me £100 for a smudge on the wall that only required wiping off. They will always award the landlord if you dispute anything and they will charge u £60 non refundable.
Stay away. Upon check out from the property I rented the landlord raised a payable amount for me, the tenant. Even though I provided evidence that the landlord was wrong they didn't accept it and I had to pay £60 to raise a dispute when the total amount charged was £70. I was forced to pay the false amount.
Avoid This “Scheme” My first and last time using a deposit replacement service! Tenants left the place as if they had no deposit to protect. They passed references ok and on inspection not too bad! But on leaving Carpets needed replacing due to smelling of urine rotting food left in oven and fridge filthy broken hob, pet damaged wallpaper bedroom painted black! Full evidence sent! Claim rejected. £1600 down including 4 weeks empty getting tradesmen to start repairs and replacing carpets I couldn’t claim for as “it was too late” in comparison recent tenant with “proper deposit left place spotless” lesson learned! Final straw! Selling up… a shame that this experience means I would never allow a tenant to use reposit again. I would never take the risk..
Terrible experience. Loaded in favor of landlords. They can make claims for any charges without providing any evidence and if a tenant wishes to dispute this they have to pay £60 upfront. In my case, I came to an out of court settlement with my landlord who effectively settled my claim against him and paid me to leave the property. This process went smoothly and after I left is now seeking these so called charges from me via redeposit… please avoid like the plague… these people are on the landlord side… not yours
They are basic useless. They ''act'' as a middle man between landlord and tenants and for that they charge a price. Ours was £250. They do nothing at all. They just take your money. Ah, and if you renew it's £15 each for nothing as well. If it's a day or 11 months the renewal is the same. They are useless. If they need to raise a dispute then they charge £60 from your deposit and that's it. It's better to pay the full deposit and get it back then to have this crap company earning your money without doing anything.
Avoid using this service at all times, takes the landlords word against the tenants. When disputing, takes money out of you to dispute where there is no guarantee if you will remove the charges or not. Don't reply to emails or contact you. One of the most unprofessional services I have ever used. Takes large amounts of money for no reason. 0 Stars service, would definitely not recommend.
Closer to a scam than any actual benefit to tenants. Sold as a better alternative for tenants when renting as you don't have to put a deposit down in the traditional sense and that it is like insurance for landlords. But what it leaves out in the description and hides away in all the small text is that the tenants are still responsible for any charges the landlord makes and you pay an extra £60 for the privilege of disputing it. You only get 7 days to respond to a claim too. So they take your money and do absolutely nothing with it to make a tenants life easier. Would definitely not use again.
Complete time wasters. Avoid them by any mean. They will require you to fill up several forms online, before even showing you the property. I completed the form for the main applicant and they returned asking filing up the forms for my partner and a 4 years old child.
Very poor experience with Proffitt & Holt 's Watford branch. Made a second offer on a house and never heard back. What a rude and unprofessional behaviour. I was dealing with Phill M.
I know there are minimum expectations of estate agents in this country, but the sales team at the Watford branch of Proffit & Holt provides a ridiculous service by any low standards. On completion, there was confusion about releasing the …
