Letting Agent leaving Property Unlocked

I'm selling my mum's house and this happened to me. I only visit every other week so I've no idea how long it had been unlocked but nothing was disturbed.
It was a mistake by the viewing agent and I took view that I didn't want to get him/her into trouble so I locked and left after my visit. No harm done.Love living in a village in the country side0 -

I wouldn't be anywhere near as sanguine. It's a pretty elementary thing that when in someone else's house you make sure the door is locked behind you, especially if visiting other people's houses is literally your job.urs sinserly,

Change the locks and allow viewings only when present.0

My first action will be telling the Letting Agent that they are no longer allowed in to the property unless I am present, which will be a blow for them as I work away.
This, they lost their chance to do it without you being there.
Get the lock changed (keep old one to change when leaving on last day) as they may try and enter when you are not there.0
