I had a similar but worse case. The Ref Agency gave a glowing report but it turned out she was unemployed and was evicted by her previous landlord. She stopped paying rent and we got her evicted and the court...

Good evening, A lot has happened on this case over the last month or two. Marsh and Parsons have been taken over by Dexters and I am not sure what difference this will make. M & P however still seem...

Reply to the comment left by Simon M at 24/04/2023 - 11:05Thanks Simon, I would have thought that a large prestigious agent has a lot to lose but Marsh and Parsons dont seem to care. They say that they used...

Reply to the comment left by Graham Bowcock at 07/01/2022 - 17:32Jane , a large agency has many branches who are motivated to make sales ( find tenants). Head office probably would not want them to find poor tenants but...

The very large London agent that I used doesnt seem to care about getting a bad reputation. They know that 99.9% of tenants dont have the financile means to take them to a court hearing that could well cost many...

Hi Jane, I have came to the conclusion it is better to do it myself. I have a property where I found the tenant myself & manage my self and it runs smoothly. Other properties where I have used agents,...

No, you have misunderstood what I said. The reference that M & P provided was a pack of lies as I explained in my last email. Their excuse was that they employed a referencing Agency to do the referencing. I...

I have had the same experience as Jane but even worse. I employed a top London Letting / Estate Agent ( M & P) to find a good tenant. She paid the rent for 6 months from savings and then...

NIGHTMARE, My tenant had one installed without my knowledge and it has caused me a lot of extra work. The Company will not remove it. I have a student let with new students each year. One of them leaves a...
