Landlord reviews for James Fairweather in Woodford Green

The Landlord conducted a private end of tenancy inspection. Despite the family home being lived in for 10 months, and being professionally cleaned (including appliances) is withholding the deposit and refusing to release. He is being encouraged by his estate agents, Abode. The rent charged was far in excess of market rates due to a false 'bidding war'. The real rent in the year 2024/25 was much lower. The property is being let out at much in excess of that. The landlord failed to fix usual - run of the mill issues - such as extractor fan breaking. This caused the splash back to disclour. Instead of recognising it was his fault, he is claiming for discolouration of the splashback. My experience was very negative.
