Castle Estates Bramhall are one of the worst letting agents I have ever used. They send you letters to say they are inspecting your property, only not to turn up. Plus be careful when leaving, they will try and rip you off for every penny. Awful company.

Jan 8, 2019During the tenancy Castle Estates carry out routine property visits on behalf of the landlord , having already given advance notice to the tenant of the planned visit then only in extreme circumstances out of our control would a booked visit then have to be cancelled and never without notifying the tenant as we are well aware they may be waiting for our visit. With regards to the end of the tenancy I should mention that Castle Estates make no charges to tenant or landlord when carrying out the check out and dealing with the subsequent deposit returns. As Propertymark agents all deposits are held and protected by The Deposit Protection Service (DPS) the government custodial scheme offering the required protection to all tenants Castle Estates provide tenants with check out guidelines once they provide notice to vacate in order to assist them and to help prevent potential deposit disputes. It would however appear that in this case after the check out both parties agreed in using the DPS alternative resolution service as agreement could not be reached. I can only assume that the DPS decision was not awarded in your favour.

Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
No procedure set.

My experience with this outfit is similar to other reviewers, although I won't go into detail I would agree that they can not be trusted and are dishonest with their inspections. I've been a landlord for 10 years and I've never had the displeasure of a worse lettings service - Use... Read Full Review
