GoogleI have never felt so neglected as paying tenant, during my tenancy I experienced a gas leak at the property, i rang the emergency gas board and they arrived promptly and capped off the main supply, during the engineers visit he identified that the landlords pipe work was at fault, due to poor craftsmanship, an insufficient weld at the outlet elbow had likely become compromised and as a result over £350 pounds worth of gas was wasted, not a penny of this was ever recovered from either the Landlord or Richard Kendall I've had no help from anybody on this matter, it seemed to me that Richard Kendall where quick to take the landlords side, i asked polity if the landlord would help me cover the costs, by either covering the full cost or meeting me halfway, I was denied any financial support, While milking me nearly a grand a month for an Apartment which was for a lack of better words quite literally made of cardboard, on the outside the apartment appeared to be luxurious after moving in you could tell after a few days that the craftsman ship was poor throughout Finally on move out day i was charged for the most ridiculous things, 1) TV wall bracket, was poorly installed by the last tenant, it was mounted to a plasterboard wall with plastic wall plugs, the bracket was dangerous so i left it off the wall because its literally a health and safety hazard (that backfired on me, I was charged me for not putting it back on the wall) 2) The front door handle cover was loose, because the threads on the screws would not longer catch the door because its cheap as chips I got my screw driver out and tired to fix it no luck the screws where just spinning and not grabbing anything (charged me for it) £105 In Total deductions, I was actually shocked they didn't charge me for using Oxygen while i existed there for 6 months Ive never been happier now, and il probably never rent again from this experience Finally the cherry on top was the Urgency they created when i told them i would be vacating the property i was literally hammered with phone calls, while they filled my empty calendar with appointment after appointment for viewings for the apartment i was still living in, bearing in mind i suffer deeply from anxiety and i was chronically depressed and grieving the loss of a close family member, however i despite my struggles i carried on "people pleasing" put a fake smile on and went above and beyond with every appointment i sold the apartment and the area, What an exhausting time in my life..
We are genuinely sorry to hear that your time at the property was so challenging and we regret that you’ve come away from the tenancy feeling this way. However, we would like to address a few important points to provide some context and clarity for future tenants reading this. Firstly, we take any reports of gas issues extremely seriously. You were absolutely right to contact the emergency gas board, and we are glad you did so promptly. While the engineer may have attributed the fault to the pipework, matters of infrastructure and compensation for energy loss generally fall under utility providers and landlords, not the letting agent. As the managing agent, we are not authorised to approve or enforce financial compensation decisions on behalf of landlords, though we did pass along your request for assistance, which unfortunately was declined. Regarding the apartment’s condition, we carry out regular inspections and move-in checks to ensure properties meet a good standard. Had any issues been raised early on, we would have done our best to address them. We're sorry if you felt otherwise. Regarding the checkout deductions, these were based on the comparative inventory reports at move-in and move-out. While we acknowledge your explanation, the TV bracket and door handle fell within tenant responsibility as outlined in your tenancy agreement. Viewings during the notice period are permitted under the same agreement, and we always aim to coordinate them with minimal disruption. That said, we do appreciate your cooperation during what was clearly a difficult time. While we don’t agree with all the points raised, we recognise your frustration and are sorry you feel let down. We remain committed to treating all tenants and landlords fairly, and we wish you the very best moving forward.

TrustpilotOur first owned home
We’ve recently completed on our first owned home so there were many things we didn’t understand that well in the buying process. Amanda helped us a lot. From start to finish and even after the sale Amanda’s communication, friendliness and support has been outstanding. Overall I’d say we had a smooth experience so thank you for helping to make that happen for us!! I would definitely recommend Richard Kendall.

GoogleDO NOT RENT FROM RICHARD KENDAL Just had £520 taken from my deposit after renting 2 Hawthorne close in kirkhamgate for a year. Firstly as far as the landlord and that property is concerned avoid. My toilet kept blocking landlord came round twice with his jetwasher to unblock on the 3rd time I was told I had to pay for a plumber as it must have been me putting too much toilet paper down. In 42 years I’ve never had this problem before. My plumber advised me and sent Richard Kendal an email explaining it wasn’t me and that the drains were collapsing due to him jet washing them. I was also blamed for the mould on one external wall. For putting my furniture up against a wall?? So I moved it all and guess what still mouldy. Many more things. When moving out I’ve been charged £520 Untidy garden ( one picture zoomed in on the one thistle that I couldn’t get out of the front garden ) The grass in the back garden that was all cut but browning cause of the dry weather. Deemed untidy Unclean toilet 🤔 with the evidence .. a zoomed in picture of a closed toilet lid. ( which was clean may I add) but how can you see the toilet with the lid closed! So many things and Richard Kendal helped tha landlord by taking photos in a way that did not show a true representation of how I left the property. I tried to fight it throughly the deposit scheme but this would take weeks and I’ve got my mum on end of life care so need all my strength for her. But below is how I left the property. Yes there was a couple of scuff marks on the wall but nothing a lick of paint wouldn’t solve ( general wear and tear ) I’m house proud it was my home. Absolute con artists.

GoogleRoger Hall visited us and gave us a valuation in October, after reviewing other estate agents we agreed to go ahead with Richard Kendall a week later. In the space of just 15 days we had an offer we had accepted on our property. We were buying a new build property with a long lead time (6 months), and Richard Kendall were fantastic in ensuring our prospective buyers (and anyone else in the chain) knew of the situation. I can't fault the speed or communication of the team, particularly Karen Dawson who helped us at every step.
