Hi,

I'm new to the Forum and was just wanting to get some feedback regarding Newbury's estate agents.

I'm currently in dispute with one and was wondering if any of you have had stories you were keen to share about your experiences.

Just thought I'd update you as we heard back from the Tenancy Disputes Service yesterday. They ruled in our favour and returned our deposit.


That is a great result. Glad you got your deposit back.

It says a lot for estate agents and what they get away with unless someone stands up to it.

In the letter the TDS said that usually they would not award the landlord any money for cleaning or gardening.

I would advise anyone to challenge their landlord / estate agent about returning deposits. The process is really simple and the TDS usually sides with the tenant.

In respect of this maybe in future you should refuse to sign any contract that has the terms regarding maintaining the garden and cleaning the carpets.

It seems bizarre to me that one agree to sign a contract with the garden and carpet terms in it but have no intention of honouring them.
Not really fair is it to deliberatly mislead the landlord.
It begs the question about the legality of the contract itself if the courts won't uphold these clauses.
