Inspection of rented property

We have been in our current property since May 2007, which is managed by a letting agent.

That's what I was thinking. They tried to spin the yarn that the LL's are requesting it because of the recession. Surely it's the other way around?

Will call the agent next week and request inspection by letting manager and see what happens. I know the letting manager is in an awkward position because the director is his boss. BTW, it's not just me who's not fond of the director - the guy who services our boiler doesn't like dealing with him either.
