    I don't understand this.

    Do you mean you viewed property A, but agreed to rent property B? If so, I'm afraid it is down to you - you chose (for whatever reason) to rent property B witthout viewing it!

    Or do you mean you viewed property A, put down a deposit for property A, but were then presented with a tenancy agrement for property B? Again? if so, it was your choice to sign the TA fo B without viewing it.

    Or do you mean you viewed property A, put down a deposit for property A, were given and signed a tenancy agrement for property A, but were then given keys to property B? If so, why on earth did you not demand the keys to A?

    There's one property.

    We viewed the property, decided to go ahead with it, signed tenancy agreement and paid our deposit + rent.

    Upon collecting the keys and entering the property, we immediately noticed the obvious loud creaking throughout the living room and kitchen floors - which didn't exist when viewing it.

    I can't be sure until the estate agent responds to me, however both appear new. From what was visible, the floors were in great condition when viewing, but the majority of the floors were covered in newspaper due to landlord decorating.

    The living room is carpet, it's pinned down firmly so difficult to tell whats underneath. There's a cloak cupboard in the living room with a boarded wooden floor, but I can't be certain the carpet has the same underneath.

    Kitchen is vinyl and again, unfortunately can't see whats underneath it.
