I have serious concerns about the impartiality of this organization, which appears to be biased in favor of landlords despite claiming to be independent. I specifically highlighted a clause in the tenancy agreement stating that the tenant must be present for the move-out report, except in cases where the tenant is unable to attend. However, the adjudicator conveniently ignored this point in their report, while emphasizing landlord-friendly points, such as the requirement to report any damage via email. If the email reporting requirement is valid, then the clause about joint move-out report verification should also be valid. Additionally, the landlord submitted invoices for full replacements that included damages from another flat. The adjudicator's response was to reduce the price, but the reduced price was actually the original price from my tenancy. This decision is not only unethical but also far from the truth. I wish I could challenge it. Furthermore, the Flatfair services are not useful as they charge tenants on a yearly basis. If there is any adjudication, they require an adjudication fee, which is supposed to be refunded if the challenge amount is reduced by 50%. This adds an unnecessary financial burden on tenants.the charges wouldn't go down so you would eventually loose the fees. I also pointed out flaws in the move-out report. The landlord asked me to submit the keys on the 7th, the report was created on the 8th, but the real-time photos uploaded with a real-time photo device were dated the 9th, which is difficult to comprehend. I highlighted this to the adjudicator, but they completely ignored it. I would suggest opting for a traditional deposit scheme rather than these so-called easy services. These services could be biased towards landlords because if landlords disagree with them, they might lose business. With a deposit scheme, you have the option to challenge the landlord in a court of law rather than being bound by Flatfair's final decision.

Reply from agent

Dear Neelu, Thank you for setting out your concerns about the recent Flatfair adjudication. Flatfair appoints an independent, suitably qualified adjudicator for every dispute; neither the landlord nor the managing agent can influence the outcome. The £25 fee that tenants pay to raise a dispute is refundable whenever the adjudicator reduces the Proposed Charge by any amount at all and since this applies in your case, a full refund of the £25 fee has been processed to your card. We have re-examined the decision against the tenancy agreement, the inventory evidence and your Flatfair terms and conditions and a full response will be sent to you via email. I hope this will provide clarity on all of the considerations that were made in arriving at an outcome that we are absolutely confident is a fair and reasonable one. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via endoftenancy@flatfair.co.uk Best wishes, Damola Head of Customer Operations
