This practice is becoming more and more commonplace. Last year, we had a lady come into the office who had paid a full deposit to someone via facebook without seeing a property. Once she got there to view and saw our to let board up outside, she came in wanting to claim the deposit back from us! obviously she knew she hadn't paid it to us and had been duped! Sadly she never got the deposit back but we were able to find her a house.. Since then we have watermarked all our front photographs, not sure if people would realise that there is a watermark but hopefully it will help prevent this.

OK so basically are we saying that this is being done due to bad experiences that government members have had?? It is ridiculous that agents should be expected to work for free! do the government work for free! I don't think so!! It is terrible that someone has paid an admin fee and then not been refunded this when a tenancy has not gone ahead through no fault of their own, they should be refunded in full. The majority of the problem here is that there are too many agents with no morals who overcharge for what they do and generally take advantage of people. It gives us all a bad name and frankly makes a mockery of the industry. I'm all for having a cap on fees and everything being reasonable, I simply don't understand why this should be made such an issue when it can be so easily resolved with restrictions put in place. If the government are suggesting that we loose a portion of income for work that we do, I do hope that they intend to expect other industry sectors to work for less too!!
