GoogleI have serious concerns about the impartiality of this organization, which appears to be biased in favor of landlords despite claiming to be independent. I specifically highlighted a clause in the tenancy agreement stating that the tenant must be present for the move-out report, except in cases where the tenant is unable to attend. However, the adjudicator conveniently ignored this point in their report, while emphasizing landlord-friendly points, such as the requirement to report any damage via email.
If the email reporting requirement is valid, then the clause about joint move-out report verification should also be valid. Additionally, the landlord submitted invoices for full replacements that included damages from another flat. The adjudicator's response was to reduce the price, but the reduced price was actually the original price from my tenancy. This decision is not only unethical but also far from the truth. I wish I could challenge it.
Furthermore, the Flatfair services are not useful as they charge tenants on a yearly basis. If there is any adjudication, they require an adjudication fee, which is supposed to be refunded if the challenge amount is reduced by 50%. This adds an unnecessary financial burden on tenants.the charges wouldn't go down so you would eventually loose the fees.
I also pointed out flaws in the move-out report. The landlord asked me to submit the keys on the 7th, the report was created on the 8th, but the real-time photos uploaded with a real-time photo device were dated the 9th, which is difficult to comprehend. I highlighted this to the adjudicator, but they completely ignored it.
I would suggest opting for a traditional deposit scheme rather than these so-called easy services. These services could be biased towards landlords because if landlords disagree with them, they might lose business. With a deposit scheme, you have the option to challenge the landlord in a court of law rather than being bound by Flatfair's final decision.

Dear Neelu,
Thank you for setting out your concerns about the recent Flatfair adjudication.
Flatfair appoints an independent, suitably qualified adjudicator for every dispute; neither the landlord nor the managing agent can influence the outcome.
The £25 fee that tenants pay to raise a dispute is refundable whenever the adjudicator reduces the Proposed Charge by any amount at all and since this applies in your case, a full refund of the £25 fee has been processed to your card.
We have re-examined the decision against the tenancy agreement, the inventory evidence and your Flatfair terms and conditions and a full response will be sent to you via email.
I hope this will provide clarity on all of the considerations that were made in arriving at an outcome that we are absolutely confident is a fair and reasonable one.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us via endoftenancy@flatfair.co.uk
Best wishes,

GoogleAre trying to take hundreds of pounds of me for a mould issue left behind in a flat I rented which was a problem before I moved in as I spoke to previous tenant. They are denying it ever being there even though the landlords themselves admitted it was always a problem, the landlords told me to leave the mould so they knew where to treat it and are now also charging me for not cleaning it, absolutely insane behaviour, money grabbers!!

Dear Dolly,
We're sorry to hear of your experience with your landlord.
Here at flatfair, our absolute priority is reaching a fair outcome for any end of tenancy cases.
This is why be provide a platform for the charges to be negotiated and only when the parties involved agree on the amount owed, will the case move on to the payment stage.
If the parties can't agree, our independent adjudication process will ensure that all evidence on the case is reviewed and a fair outcome is reached in conjunction with tenancy law.
If you do need any further help with your case, please reach out to us via endoftenancy@flatfair.co.uk

GoogleI can’t thank the Rothwell manning Stainton branch enough. Especially Jessica who listened to my budget and house criteria and was on the ball with finding new homes coming onto the market that fit my needs. Pretty quickly I was in my perfect first home thanks to Jessica and the team!

GoogleRecently used Manning for a house sale. To be clear you are paying for their name to sell your house and not the people showing them around your house.
Unfortunately not the best experience but joy the worst either, had an example of viewings cancelled without them informing me, turning up an hour early to viewings without warning us.
The lack of knowledge of our house was a bit disappointing from the house viewer, we witnessed her a couple of times and she did not have great knowledge of the house nor show the full house (e.g garage)(Naturally I will be more passionate about the house than someone else, yet for the price you pay I do not feel it was up to scratch). When she wasn’t showing people round it was a sporadic bunch of people - one person could not even find the house despite it having a for sale sign outside of the house).
Ultimately, in the end we were the ones in the end who showed the people who eventually bought the house the property and not Manning Stainton. The process once we sold and had an offer was basically redundant as well, would have occasional updates from the move manager (who in fairness was polite and responded when needed). However, I was phoned a day later to say that the solicitors had agreed to exchange (despite me obviously knowing this the day before) so all in all - you are paying for Manning Stainton the brand and basically for a bit of advertising on Rightmove as opposed to really good service in selling your house. I believe the buyers had a good experience with Manning Stainton in general, however, they were shown around the house by us and not them.

GoogleIt is well known that buying a house is up there as one of the three most stressful things you can do in life. Part of the stress is caused by many Estate Agents not seeming to realise that while they are selling a house, we are buying a home. As part of the buying process, it has been a very real pleasure to experience the helpful, knowledgeable, and understanding staff at S & S Yeovil. It was easy to arrange the viewing, which was conducted by Mrs. V. C, who was pleasant, friendly, and very helpful. We didn't feel rushed and had time to 'feel the property put it's arms round us'. Other contacts with the Branch have produced the same helpful approach.

Dear Roger, thank you so much for your lovely words about Vicky, it's so kind of you. All of our sales team have worked for both corporate and independent estate agents, hence our office mantra “an independent service with a corporate drive”. As the seller of the property you are purchasing is also buying through us, hopefully it will be a smooth transaction! Best wishes from Jeremy and all the Yeovil team

TrustpilotExemplary and efficient from start to end
I couldn’t have asked for a more helpful, professional and efficient service! Alex, Nicola and Habib were exemplary. I was well informed, I had a clear understanding of next steps and their recommended solicitor was just as efficient and professional. The transaction was a breeze and everyone worked so hard to work within my timescales as I needed a quick sale and I got one! They are a credit to the company and I would recommend look no further if you’re choosing to sell or buy your property!
