My experience with Fitzjohn Sales &…
My experience with Fitzjohn Sales & Lettings regarding the return of my tenancy deposit has been extremely disappointing.
More than 15 days after the end of my tenancy, my deposit remains unresolved. Despite multiple follow-ups, I have received limited communication and no clear timeline for resolution.
The proposed deductions relate to repainting, despite the fact that the check-in inventory recorded existing marks and previous touch-up work when I moved into the property. The property was not handed over in a newly painted condition, and I hold dated photographs from both check-in and check-out that support this position.
Throughout the tenancy, I maintained the property in accordance with the tenancy agreement. The property was inspected by the agency on two separate occasions, and no concerns were raised. In addition, all rent payments were made in full and on time. The property was returned in a condition consistent with its state at the start of the tenancy, allowing for reasonable wear and tear after 12 months of occupation.
What has been most frustrating is the lack of progress and transparency. Despite providing evidence and repeatedly requesting a clear timeline, I am still waiting for a resolution. From a tenant's perspective, it is unreasonable for a deposit to remain effectively withheld for such a prolonged period without a defined timescale.
I would encourage prospective tenants to carefully document the condition of the property at move-in and move-out, keep copies of all inventories, and retain photographic evidence throughout the tenancy.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Fitzjohn Sales & Lettings and would think carefully before using their services.
