Unfortunately, our experience with this landlord was disappointing. While communication was generally timely, there were several concerns regarding fairness and transparency at the end of our tenancy.
Despite returning the property in a clean and well-maintained condition, we were presented with excessive and, in some cases, unjustified deductions from our deposit. Many of the issues listed had either existed prior to our tenancy (with evidence) or fell under reasonable wear and tear. Additionally, the Check-Out Report was delayed well beyond the agreed timeframe, impacting our ability to address or dispute matters promptly.
We also felt that some of our concerns raised during the tenancy—such as maintenance and safety issues—were not properly addressed, despite clear communication. As a landlord, we expected a more balanced and responsible approach in line with tenancy laws and agreements.
While the property itself was in a good location and met our needs during the tenancy, we hope the landlord takes this feedback on board to ensure a fairer experience for future tenants.

Make sure you don’t rent from Satish Harpalani, a very difficult to deal with landlord.
A solicitor specialising, amongst others, in landlord tenant matters, will be a real pain, as you have to respond to his frequent requests. I had no fewer five ‘routine inspections’ in one year where he would open cupboards, drawers. Not allowing bringing in high speed internet, furniture, change utility providers, etc.
He would promise one thing verbally while later putting something different in writing all with a view of extracting more money from you. I got hit with a last moment £1,150 for adding my girlfriend to the tenancy with increased rent and deposit to boot.
After leaving he would neither provide claims or refund my deposit. I had to go through mydeposit adjudication where he won half the deposit with an inventory report full of unfair claims - such as claiming £1142 for cleaning despite full professional cleaning at the end of tenancy.
Avoid for your own sanity.
