I had a bad experience with them. We rented for nearly 3 years in a property they managed. There’s a month left on the tenancy agreement. We informed them for more than a month before we left the property and they told us that we might NOT pay for the rent that is due as long as we leave the property early and there’s a chance a new tenant will cover it. We left the property as clean as we could. However, they still charge us £350 cleaning fees and they have asked us to pay for a month’s rent even though the property was off the market 2 weeks after we left the property. I did reach out to them but they were insisting that I should pay. They could have told us earlier that we will pay the rent in the end. We could have stayed in the property for a month. It felt like I have put my thousand pounds in the BIN!!! I know there was a tenancy agreement but considering the years we stayed on that property and kept it well maintained, they could have considered it at least and be compassionate as it is hard to earn money and just paying the rent for nothing!!!Also, should have informed us earlier about the new tenancy commencing late so we could have resided still on that property. The lady on the accounting was also rude! What a shame!

Hi, Thank you for taking the time to feedback to us. I am sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction. When convenient please return Sheila’s call, 01962 843346 option 5, so we can fully understand your complaint. According to your tenancy agreement and our management system and call recordings; - You requested to leave your tenancy one month before the end of your fixed term - We explained that you are in a fixed term tenancy - The landlord and we agreed to remarket the property early and if replacement tenants could be found, to release you early - Replacement tenants were found and referenced successfully - The new tenants earliest start date was just after the end of your fixed term, so rent could not be saved for you - The independent checkout summary report noted that; ‘professional cleaning was required, mainly within kitchen and carpets, hence there were third party cleaning costs to pay. I am sorry replacement tenants could not be found and move in more quickly and release you from tenancy sooner. I hope you appreciate that that is beyond our control and that efforts were made to facilitate your early release from tenancy at short notice and without charge. Remarketing commencing next day. Given the above, our Accounts Manager had to insist and remind you that your rent remained due for your final month, despite you having chosen to leave the property. Thank you for your feedback. Julian Bessey Director
