Felicity J Lord (Greenwich Lettings) made multiple serious errors in our tenancy application and refused to engage in conversation in writing, resulting in a three-month fight for a full refund of our £500 holding deposit, which was eventually gained thanks to the perseverance of the Property Ombudsman. Firstly they didn't progress our application or process any documents for over two weeks after we paid the deposit, and did not respond to calls or emails until we stated we would withdraw the application. They then quoted a move-in date two weeks after the move-in date signed on the offer form, stating that the current tenants couldn't move out. This was then retracted when it was proven that this was against the offer submitted and accepted, as well as the advertisement of the flat which remained on RightMove. The branch refused to refund the holding deposit, despite two clauses of the Tenancy Fees Act being applicable to our case. They also claimed that we misunderstood the legislation. The refund was gained after the Property Ombudsman was contacted, however it took them two weeks to refund the money after they confirmed the decision. They claimed that they did not have my bank details, and requested my private data three times from different contacts within the company, raising significant GDPR concerns. We had an awful experience and only got our money back after a lot of stress and lost time. We are just glad that we saw the problems early in the process and didn't get tied into a 12 month tenancy agreement.

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.

Well where do I begin...FJL might not tell you that they take all fees upfront. So you might find yourself out of pocket for the first few months of tenancy. But the problems don't stop there. I suspect having earned their commission the interest FJL have in "managing" a... Read Full Review

Really disappointed with this agent. Being a train journey away from London, we started inquiring about one of their properties a week and a half in advance before we planned to go to London for some viewings but kept being told to call closer to the time. After many attempts no viewing was ever... Read Full Review

Make sure you do not trust anything they say verbally. They both do not respond to emails and also do not record anything that was discussed verbally. Do not move forward until you get it all down on... Read Full Review
You pay the fees and they do half the work. It's very stressful using them.

Verbally agreed to waive letting fees as the property was also being shown by Alex Neil then reneged on the offer once we had sent the deposit over costing an extra �400. My own stupid fault for trusting an estate agent, my advice would be that if you have to deal with these sharks get... Read Full Review
£400 more than they agreed, bargain.

I rented a flat via their agency and I am very unhappy the way this agency dealt with the whole process from the beginning. They never answer my emails and are very evasive and condescending over the phone. It's hard to understand why I paid the agency fees considering they never were never able to ... Read Full Review

For property management avoid FJLord completely. I had the unfortunate experience of paying 13% for my flat to be managed and it resulted in me having to manage the property managers whilst making expensive international phone calls to get the simplest tasks completed because they can't seem to...

- Delivered on the agreed services - Improve communication within the company, between branch, management and billing - Train staff on escelation process, to be competent to deal with and reply to customer requests
The fees were in line with other agents in the area, however the service was so disappointing and of low quality that probably any agent would have been better.

Lauren told me about a property available last wednesday and I agreed to view it on thursday. I turned up, however she told me when I arrived that they had no keys, it was a wasted journey for me, but I gave them the benefit of the doubt and agreed to see it on friday. I turned up on friday... Read Full Review
