It’s a shame that we were scammed, by Shabnam specifically. We were honest from the very start and provided everything they asked for, we had the correct funds to rent and paid a weekly holding deposit. Communication was terrible from the start. They took the weekly deposit and decided we didn’t pass the referencing checks despite providing bank statements with the required sums. We were not given a reason as to why we suddenly didn’t pass the referencing, Shabnam was trying to blame it on homelet and homelet were trying to blame it on Shabnam. They not only didn’t give us a valid reason but they also kept and didn’t return our weekly holding deposit back. Please be very careful working with this letting agency and specifically this letting agent. She did the same thing to the people who wanted to rent this property before us, took their holding deposit and decided to not pass their referencing and did the same thing with us. She pocketed over £800 in under a month and failed 2 people and then decided to just no longer answer the phone. Scam artists. I will be reporting this to the BBC and Daily mail also. Do not work with this agency or this woman. Save your money and time. They are fraudulent scam artists.

I had a very disappointing experience with this agency. From start to finish, it was clear that all their focus and loyalty were directed solely toward satisfying the landlord, with little to no consideration for the tenant. Despite the fact that I paid a significant amount of money to renew the property and improve it — around £6,000 spent on making the house better and more presentable — none of this effort or investment was acknowledged or respected. As a tenant, I felt completely undervalued and unsupported. Communication was poor, concerns were ignored, and any issues raised were handled in a way that clearly favoured the landlord, regardless of fairness or reason. Paying a large amount to renew and upgrade a property should come with at least basic respect and balanced treatment, but that was not the case here. I would not recommend this agency to tenants. If you are looking for an agent that treats tenants fairly and professionally, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you feel dissatisfied; however, we feel it is important to clarify the facts of this matter. The tenancy was ended without the required notice being provided, and this was clearly explained at the time. Following check-out, the property was not returned in a similar condition to that recorded at the start of the tenancy, which resulted in deductions being proposed in line with the tenancy agreement. At no point did we ask you to spend £6,000 on the property- also you did this without the landlord consent. All repair requests were dealt with in a timely manner. As managing agents, we act on behalf of the landlord and are required to follow the correct procedures. All deductions and the process were fully explained to you, and your deposit was protected with the DPS. Where disputes arise, the DPS makes an independent decision. If the adjudicator finds in favour of the landlord, this is not a decision made by ourselves. We always aim to be transparent and fair, and we regret that this experience has been stressful for you. Should you wish to discuss the matter further, we would encourage you to contact us directly rather than via a public forum.

I wouldn’t recommend renting through Ewemove. I dealt with Khilan, who showed no real interest in helping or ensuring client satisfaction. The experience was disappointing and unprofessional.

Ewemove showed no regard for fair treatment. The agent acted unfairly, took the deposit, and reported issues inaccurately. There was a clear lack of honesty in how the situation was handled, and concerns were not dealt with objectively or professionally. It felt as though their priority was to satisfy the landlord rather than deal fairly with their clients. I would not recommend Ewemove based on this experience

Thank you for your comments. This review relates to the same tenancy already responded to. As previously explained, the tenancy ended without the required notice and the property was not returned in a similar condition to the start. We act on behalf of the landlord and must follow correct procedures. The deposit was protected with the DPS, and any disputed deductions were reviewed independently by them. Decisions made by the DPS are not determined by ourselves.

One of the worst agencies I’ve dealt with. I would not recommend Ewemove Estate Agent in Finchley to anyone looking to rent, buy, or sell a property. After I finished my tenancy, they raised issues that simply didn’t exist, seemingly just to satisfy the landlord and justify keeping my deposit. The whole process felt dishonest and unfair. Dealing with this team was extremely stressful, especially Khilan. No matter what, they make you feel like you’re always in the wrong, even when you’ve taken good care of the property. In the end, you’re made to feel powerless and risk losing your entire deposit. If you’re looking for a smooth, transparent, and professional experience, I strongly advise you to avoid this agency. Never renew or continue a tenancy with them, and don’t risk losing your hard-earned money.

Avoid. Highly unprofessional, unreliable, and a total scam. Sarah Fitton is exactly as others have reviewed her, dishonest and a scam. She takes your money for her property management services, and she doesn’t deliver at all, on the contrary, she creates and leaves you with problems that she never solves. And then flips blame on you. I’ve lost so much money thanks to her and my house has irreparable damages. This agency is not to be trusted. Not as a tenant. Nor as a landlord.

Hi Blanca It was a pleasure to manage your property for over 7 years. I was very proud of finding you excellent tenants giving you the rent you wanted every month and had no void periods. You recently moved back in and have for the first time raised that you are not happy with me which is disappointing but I clearly respect your views. Your tenants left the property in excellent condition, they fully painted the inside of your house 2 years ago at no cost to yourself and paid for an end of tenancy clean for you to move back into which they didn't need to do. I sent you a 600 page report at the end of the tenancy which flagged a few areas for the tenants to rectify but it was very minor. All the areas you flagged as being damage were in my opinion wear and tear over the 7 years. I visited you twice in your property to go through all of these areas to ensure we both fully understood each others views. 4 Trades people that we sent to your property all agreed that all of the areas you raised were wear and tear and would be expected over the time you have had your property rented out. We acted on your instruction to propose a deduction from the tenants deposit for all of the areas that you perceived as damage. As I mentioned to you on numerous occasions they have the right to challenge this and ultimately the DPS will make an impartial decision. This will ultimately determine whether any money is taken from the deposit and returned to you so you will not be out of pocket if they decide this is the right outcome. This is not us blaming you it is the process that all Landlords and Tenants follow to achieve a fair outcome for all and is most importantly decided upon by the DPS not us. I advised you yesterday that your case was being looked into pending a decision so it is disappointing that you feel the need to write it in this way as a scam but clearly respect your views. All of the 4 Tradespeople reached out to you some time ago to see if you wanted to pay for any of the work that you deemed as damage, you haven't instructed any of the work so not really sure what costs you are saying you have incurred but please keep the receipts if you have appointed your own tradespeople as you will need these if the DPS wish to see proof you have had the work done. Since you first reported that you weren't happy with our last checkout report, I have communicated with you over 60 times in a month to try and explain the position. You later filed a complaint which we responded to within 48 hours with a detailed 4 page written response on all of the points raised. We sent this to you on 27th August, we also advised you that if you are still not happy with our response you can take your points to the Property Ombudsman who would impartially listen and investigate your concerns, as you are aware as things stand today you have neither responded to our letter nor followed up on our suggestion to contact the Ombudsman which [after reading your review] is really confusing but again, your decision. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to manage your property and wish you many happy years living there!

Absolutely appalling behavior of Mr Khilan Shah when requested on numerous occasions to simply instruct a plumber to investigate and repair a water ingress leak causing significant damage to a flat below. Completely uncooperative and displayed a confrontational attitude

Reply from agent

This review is unwarranted and does not accurately reflect the situation. Martin Kingsley is part of K&M First Property, the management company overseeing a block of flats. They brought to my attention a reported leak from my property into the flat below. As the leaseholder, I have engaged multiple contractors to investigate the matter, and each time, no leak has been identified. Furthermore, previous management also dispatched their own contractors, who similarly confirmed there was no leak from my flat. Despite this, I remain open to further investigations, provided that the costs are covered if no leak is found, which has not been accepted. This review should not have been directed at Ewemove Finchley, as the disagreement pertains to the leaseholder and the management company of the block, not the Estate Agents. It appears to be a response to my request for a formal complaints policy and does not represent an accurate account of the circumstances.

I have worked and lived in Finchley for over 35 years. I absolutely love the area, especially the large array of diverse shops on the high street. No matter who are, or where you're from, you'll be at home in Finchley! It's a real community here. I love it. Who am I? Just a friendly, family man really. I love to help the people of Finchley, and there's nothing I love more than putting myself out there for people. Anytime you have a question about property, or the housing market. Just stop me in the street, or say hi in the shop. I'm always happy to help. I've worked in property since 2006, I'm actually a landlord as well as a business owner! So I know how to look after my (and yours) tenants! I'm born and raised in Finchley, and my knowledge of the area is second to none. New to Finchley? I'll give you the grand tour!
