I rented a property off these thieves for 2 years. From the date I moved in (17th December), I had issues - no hot water until 24th December.
Their response - it wasn't an emergency as I had a kettle! The heater in the living room gave my young nephew an electric shock. The electrician attended, removed it and took it away. Two weeks later I had to contact them to chase, and they said that they were not replacing it as had "been ripped off the wall by the tenant". I asked them to return it so I could arrange for my own inspector, and they said they didn't know where it was. They have a policy that if you make 3 or more complaints to them, you get issued with a Section 21 Notice, and has 8 weeks to leave. However, they harass you to leave earlier.
When I moved out, I cleaned the flat so it was spotless. Cleaned the oven so it looked practically new (as god as it could be after 2 years of use). Re-painted the flat. Whoever was moving in after me could have moved in the day I moved out without having to do anything.
Liv DifRent told me that the people who inspect the properties are independent people, and don't work for them. The obnoxious, scruffy man who came to do the inspection actually told me that he DID work for Liv Difrent. He was at the property over 2 hours doing the inspection. It was a one bedroom flat. I swear, if he could have climbed in the oven, he would. At one point he was hanging backwards over the balcony looking at the brickwork outside the balcony doors. It's a shame he didn't fall over it. It's clear that they are told to find fault with everything.
This is what they charged for:
Clean £100
Remove tile and make good £160 (I'd had tiling up on by a professional, behind the sink to avoid water damage to the wall)
Repaint throughout with Crown white emulsion £500
Fridge Drawers £120
Shower hose £20
Total £900
This was to be taken from a deposit of £575!
This is a tactic to frighten people from challenging the charges with DPS. People think that if they appeal, they will loose and have to pay the additional amount, so they cut their losses and walk away.
I did challenge it. Although I didn't get my full deposit back, the DPS stated that the charges for the shower hose and fridge drawers were extortionate, and charged a total of £15, and also would not allow the £500 charge for re-decorating.
I would advise anyone not to rent of these people. They trade under a number of names, such as SDL Properties. The staff are rude and lie at every opportunity. They are no more than criminals, and will think nothing of stealing your money.

I will look no further if i were to rent a place with them again because they are friendly and helpful and customer service is superb. The owner even took the extra mile to drive me around bedford (short trip of course) while showing me his listed properties. They’re quick to tend to problems if there’re any. My experience moving in and out were pretty seamless and smooth. All in all they are a good agency More...

Great service from Lee and Richard.They give a much more proactive and personal service than the usual high street names offer. We had a property on the market with others for nearly 6 months without a single offer and C21 were able to get a solid offer from a buyer from out of town within a couple of weeks, it seemed they made much more of an effort than the others - looking at solutions rather than problems.

Real Estate consultant, 62 years old, married and with two children of 32 and 39 years, respectively. The taste for management, but mainly by the interaction with people and the taste of being able to help develop the potentialities of others, led me to perform functions in the areas of human resources and finance and, at the same time, develop activities Business in the areas of consulting and accounting. In addition to all these activities I exercised municipal functions during two mandates as vowel and substitute of the President having under my responsibility the Treasury, human resources and housing. Being collected as ENI to perform activity in the insurance area, I embraced the project of CENTURY 21, which allowed me to achieve personal fulfillment and contact with people. I have guided all my personal and professional life, based on ethics, professionalism, competence, responsibility and, still, in the individual respect of people. These were the values I found as a motto in the 21st CENTURY (Alvaliving). People, people, More...
