Left a property 6 weeks ago and we are still waiting for our deposit back or even any communication on what its being withheld - we have called and left multiple messages and asked for email communications and have been told they're too busy. We have had to chase repeatedly and still no information. We moved into the property and found a gas leak which we had sorted by Cadent - called John Shepherd to notify them and they had nothing to say nor issued a new test. Oven Grilled would short circuit the electrics when used - submitted a maintenance on this - no one ever came to resolve. Drains got blocked and sewerage coming onto the drive, submitted a maintenance claim - supposed to respond within 24 hours as we have a newborn, didn't hear from them until 3 days later, by that point we had sorted it ourselves due to the danger. We have paid £600 extra for a dog to cover any damages - have just been told over the phone this morning it doesn't go towards anything and was for 'rent' for a dog. We paid £500 for a professional end of tenancy clean on a very aging property which seems it is being disregarded. Inspection from John Shepherd 2 weeks prior to end of tenancy she said house was kept well and happy with the state of it - she actually also commented that the smoke detectors in there aren't in legal positions. The lack of communication from john shepherd is appalling - we are constantly being fobbed off. On the tenancy portal they have also actually deleted all of our forms so we having no visibility of the contracts nor TDS. Will be moving towards legal action Update - thanks for the 'apology' comment below, but it's pointless emailing you as you don't reply, you have my contact details. I want communication and a resolution not the word apology.
