Tell u wot - I live in Manchester and my estate agents are the most awful, most unprofessional and most incometent company I've ever dealt with. They're the most expensive too.
For your honesty, it gave me a smile. Just don't move to my area!!! If you personal message me I'll give you the details of EA I go with.
I did once rent through another EA in Liverpool and was also a friend and let me move in with no rent up front and only £100 deposit, reason being is that I signed an agreement that I will pay all rent up front within 6 weeks of moving in. House I was in before that was in a regeneration area and everyone was compensated well for having to move out. I showed a letter from the regeneration company to guarantee the money but just had to wait for the cheque. So they let me move in.
I've got no credit history at all, the estate agent I'm with charged £196 for my partner and £98 for me to do searches etc and I know factly they never did a single search but they took the money. (Something I am disputing with them). They use Homelets for their searches but I know they never did actually use them... PM me if you want the EA details...0 -
I would say though that you won't get to see the LL details for:
A: Data Protection
and
B: If you see a copy of their deeds and attempt to copy yourself this is illegal as you could end up attempting to own the property yourself...
C: You sound dead dodgy but at the end of the day if you can stump up that much cash up front for 6 months rent then you're likely to find a lot of landlords that will agree, you won't need our input here...0
