Poor communication. we had a viewing arranged for 5pm we called the office to confirm at 3.30pm that we would be attending the viewing.At this time the landlord had already accepted a Tennant for the property. Had we been told this we would not have attended the viewing. I think it would have be fair to have been told the current situation so that we could have had the choice whether to attend or not. Our time is precious and we had other properties that we could have been viewing. If the landlord choose a Tennant we did not have a problem with that after all that's what they need to do. However as an agent transparency and honest information should he a priority

As previously advised over the telephone and in writing at the time of your rental application; our valued Landlord Clients simply did not wish to rent their property to you and selected another couple who had also viewed the property on the same day just prior to yourselves and subsequently applied for the property the same evening online.
Our communication was very clear and precise at all times and when your viewing appointment was booked in; the property was still fully available - 2 other parties were also viewing after yourselves.
One of these other parties who viewed, also wished to apply for the property but, like yourselves, were unsuccessful and accepted our clients decision graciously.
We will continue to work with them and help them find another property.
The rental market is extremely fast pace and we are deeply sorry you could not accept our clients decision however we will always act in their best interests and are transparent at all times.
Wishing you all the best though!
