We were looking for a property to rent and we made an offer. We gave all the references and paid for the deposit; after a few days the agent came back to us and said that the landlord decided not to continue as the tenant changed her mind and wasn't moving anymore. Then, we organized viewings with the agent, again, but she came back to us saying all the properties were under offer. When we tried to organize viewings at other times, they weren't flexible and they gave us an horrible experience.

Hello Sam, we are sorry that you felt you had to complain. As always we investigate negative comments and in this case have found that after you had put a deposit down on a property, unfortunately, our Landlord asked us to withdraw the property as his tenant had decided to stay. We had no choice but to cancel your viewing and refund your deposit. We attempted to book an alternative viewing on a Saturday as requested, but the tenant had guests all weekend and didn't want viewings. In the current climate of high demand for rental property, occasionally a previous viewer may call to place a deposit and we cancel all further appointment to avoid wasting clients' time. We try to be as flexible as possible for our clients and would welcome any further requests to view from you.
