Avoid - clearly no integrity within the company. Viewed two flats, had an offer accepted on one which was then outbid, as can happen. Placed an offer on the second flat, which also was accepted and after some negotiations we transferred a holding deposit (it's our understanding that the purpose of this is to remove the flat from market). Less than 2 days later we received a call to say that the landlord had accepted a higher offer that had been put to him after we had paid to hold the property while referencing took place. Whilst the landlord is entitled to withdraw, one might expect the estate agents to show integrity and not engage with other offers. A number of other estate agents we have spoken to since have agreed this is not accepted practice. Whole process has been a huge inconvenience .

Mar 24, 2021Following your review, I would like to say how sorry I am for your disappointment and frustration and offer my apologies that this situation arose. Unfortunately we are obliged to put forward any offer received even where an offer has been agreed. We always remove properties from the market as soon as an offer is secured and any subsequent viewings would be cancelled. In this instance the viewings had taken place prior to your offer being secured. As this happened over the weekend, it meant that the situation didn't arise until Monday, which resulted in the delay. As previously mentioned, we are obliged to advise Landlords of all offers, but would encourage Landlords to stand by their initial decision. Unfortunately the Landlords decision is not within our control, despite our views. Sadly in this instance the Landlord decided to accept another offer. It clearly doesn't reflect well on us as a company, but I can assure you that we do not encourage this behavior and that we stop all marketing and viewings once an offer is secured. Once again please accept my apologies for your disappointment.

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.

I spent several years as a tenant with Palace Gate managing the flat I was living in (I've recently moved out). They were always excellent - answering my emails promptly, organising works where required, always keeping me up to date. I'd thoroughly recommend... Read Full Review

Everything smacked of unprofessionalism and laziness. The agent hadn't bothered to do any research on the flat we looked at. When we wanted to put in an offer on the spot, we were told not to bother as she wasn't going back to the office until Monday. The agent did not bother to relay our offer... Read Full Review

An absolute disgrace, from *Palace Gate Lettings at the Battersea Branch. The ad from the photos looked nothing like the flat they were jazzed up and misleading, over 50 percent of the items are not even in the flat pictures advertised. They increased the price within 2 hours of advertising. The ad ... Read Full Review
