If I were a landlord , I would like to think that an agent was working for me , not in their own interests.
This estate agent seems to work in a very underhand way, we viewed a rental property today (which we had enquired about as soon as it came on) Appointment was made, we thought that we were first in line (as not told otherwise) no we were 2nd but another one was following along afterwards .We went straight back to this agent & said yes, we were interested. Whereby, they stated that someone (one of their current tenants) had already spoken for it just before we viewed & it was a done deal? So would not let us fill in all of the paperwork, so that it could be put before the landlord to make the final choice. Not sure if they did the same with the other persons but absolutely no courtesy ,or manners in forewarning that they had put other people before us, nor to even bother letting us know beforehand to cancel the appointment.!!
