    I just want to put a warning out there for anyone who might be thinking about renting a property from Gate Properties...

    firstly,, <snip>in the office is a very rude person and has a serious attitude problem...

    Secondly.. You have to wait weeks to get your deposit back ,, even tho you give them the notice thats needed,.. and thats even if they give you your deposit back.. you have to fight to get it back..

    Their policy is.. You give your keys back on a monday say,, now you have given them 4 weeks notice..and thier reply is,, WE have to get the deposit off the landlord and do an inspection on the premises.. ..

    Surely to god when you hand your notice in they should have that deposit already off the landlord. and it should not take 2 weeks to chase it up and try to get it off them..that is 2 weeks after you have handed your notice in,... So RENTERS BEWARE.

    Usually they hold the deposit on behalf of the landlord, the reason for this is that if the Landlord refuses to return the deposit they are liable

    oh yeah,,, any estate agent i have ever daeatl with has returned it straight away,,

    this crowd stated that I had to wait a few days as they had to get it off the landlord..

    Ithink they were hoping that i would just say ah forget it,,,

    Agent does not hold deposit,
    you get it AFTER ypu leave and the property is checked for breakages.
    It is meant to be straight away, but these days the agents can have trouble getting the landlords , holiday time etc.

    Perhaps more posters should use the 'report post' function to bring such things to the moderator's attention earlier.
