The event dates back a few years when Imran from Everest estate agent was commissioned to find a tenant for a 2 bed property in the Ilford/Dagenham area. We had agreed he'd charge me a fixed fee of 500 for finding a tenant. Within a matter of days a suitable tenant was found and I was impressed by how quickly he was able to find the tenant, undertake the necessary checks and balance and have an AST contract ready for me to sign.
I had agreed to visit his shop to meet the new tenant (as I was managing it myself), sign the necessary paperwork and his work was done. Everything was fine and I signed the contract and keys were handed to the tenants. Now it was the moment we needed to clear up the finance which to my knowledge was supposed to be a straight forward transaction or was it?
The tenant had paid in cash one month's deposit and one month's advance rent which came to I believe 2000. Imran handed back 1000 instead of the 1500. Remember he was meant to charge me 500 as per what we agreed. He then said he never agreed 500 and it was always 1000. That was a total lie and I challenged him on all account. He became aggressive and uncomfortable.
I knew at that stage there was no point in arguing with him as he appeared to be a seasoned pro and took advantage of a newbie landlord like myself. I left the shop feeling robbed and insulted but it taught me a valuable lesson. Unfortunately, estate agents don't have a good reputation and this experience only reaffirmed my position. I have no axe to grind as I've moved on from that incident however I'm aware someone else had a similar experience so I wanted to share my experience with users out there. Judging by the responses to some of the other less than favourable reviews, I can only assume he will make some kind of excuse to discredit the review.
I'm now a portfolio landlord and manage my own properties thanks to Imran! My message to landlords is that with the technology at your disposal and various portals at hand there's no reason why you shouldn't be managing your own properties and not relying on someone else. If you do decide to use a estate agent make sure you do your due diligence and whatever agreement is made have it in writing.

I found Everest to be very professional and helpful. Alhumdullilah they found a tenant for my flat in literally 24hours!!. Imran made sure all the paperwork was done correctly and according to law, no corners cut. Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional and honest estate agents.
