WARNING TO RENTERS: this estate agency will attempt to claim large fractions of your security deposit regardless of the condition of the property when you vacate. If you must rent through them, ensure you take detailed photos of every room including any and all dirt, damage or disrepair. Note each of these in your 'check-in report' and take a picture or a scan of it for your own records before returning it to the agency. If (when) the agency attempts to wrongly claim against you I strongly suggest creating a detailed dispute and submitting it to the Tenancy Deposit Scheme. The scheme awarded 70% of the deposit back to us after the agents attempted to claim 80% of our deposit with spurious justification.
