Does anyone have any experience of dealing with estate agents managing a property?
We rent out a house and have just had approx 1 week?s rent taken out of our income for a non-essential repair (a water pressure issue apparently).
The contract states that we should be notified of any repairs that cost above £20, but we weren?t even asked and the first thing that we knew about it was when our statement came through with the money deducted.
Does this happen a lot? I?m fuming and think that we should have the money put back in our accounts, seeing as we didn?t sign anything for the repairs.
The contract states that emergency repairs may be taken out without our permission, but surely an emergency is something like a broken window or a burst pipe? And even then, they?d let us know about it straight away and BEFORE the money flew out of our account?
Hoping someone can shed some light, have got the red mist descending .
