FLATFAIR IS A TOTAL RIPOFF.
I moved into my flat and it was not inhabitable. I had it totally redecorated at my own expense and when I vacated it was in 100% better condition than when I moved into. They then had the cheek to bill me £160 for cleaning. They are a disgusting company which myself and my company will not use again.
WARNING. If you use them be prepared for a bill when you vacate as they are money grabbing thieves.

Hi James,
Thank you for your feedback.
It's important to note that flatfair is a neutral party facilitating a process for tenants to negotiate end of tenancy charges with their landlord and these charges are brought forward by the landlord, not flatfair.
The landlord has brought forward a £165 charge for cleaning. Tenants are required to restore cleanliness to same standard as at the start of the tenancy and the key evidence as to the condition of cleanliness at the tenancy start, is the check-in report which was signed by all relevant parties.
As there was no agreement on the charges, the case was settled by adjudication.
The adjudicator examined the photos and commentary in the check-in report as well as doing the same for the check-out report with the conclusion that there was a deterioration in cleanliness.
The final award to the landlord of £60 reflected that the deterioration was not significant enough to justify the original £165 and this has been detailed in the adjudication report which was sent to all parties involved.
I hope the above is understandable, if you do have any further questions you can reach out to us via endoftenancy@flatfair.co.uk
Best wishes,
