Lansbrough Lettings 2010 to 2011

Whilst looking for a house in Didcot, you will find Lansbrough Letting's, very kind and helpful, they presented a beautiful property. Several questions were asked during the viewing but, the agent from Lansbrough Letting's didn't once inform me of any problems with the property, not even a hint towards what would happen if problems did arise. As anyone would on the premise of such a convincing act, I signed up. The peace lasted approximately three weeks, with every problem I found in the property there were hidden charges i.e. washing machine breaks down and the tenant receives the bill, for the Engineer. Things only got worse when damp, mould and water leaks started. In a nutshell: Lansbrough Lettings hold the tenant responsible for damp which isn't appropriate at all, every architectural problem with the property is caused due to the tenants negligence! Lansbrough Lettings also do not tell you what exactly is required of the tenant as far as garden upkeep is concerned. The property isn't quality controlled, so cheap paint, fittings, carpets with no underlay, doors that warp, windows that constantly leak, cheap paint etc it all looks great when you move in but, as soon as you start living in the property all the fixtures and fittings deteriorate rapidly. At the end of the year they charge you for it! Lansbrough Lettings also have a tendency to randomly turn up at your rented property when you haven't replied to an email i.e. Saturday 9am! They seem to speak to neighbours to find out what you are like and than write long emails telling you how you should live in a house you are paying for! The ‘cheap skate' Landlord comes into the property when you are on vacation or at work, paints walls, uses your appliances and neither Lansbrough Lettings nor Landlord informs you. After a year it was a relief to leave the property. Lots of haggling over deposits as Lansbrough lettings tried there utmost to charge for any scruff, scratch and yellowing of paint... First they want a deposit of several hundred pounds and than after issuing a warning of seeking legal advice they drop the charges to less than a hundred pounds, how credible is that? I have had it up to my ears with Lansbrough Lettings, they drastically affected my work, academic and social life and the aforementioned is just a scratch on the service of problems experienced over a year.. I would advise anyone not to do business with Lansbrough Lettings at all………….. Please STAY AWAY, you have been warned!
