I'll tell you why cause they dont bother getting in touch with people that are looking for places.
Last thursday i was looking on daft for a place to rent.
There were around 25 houses/apartments that i would of been interested in......all but 3 of these were deing dealt with through agents.
Out of 25 emails/phone calls sent only 5 got back to me:-
The 3 that were renting themselves:-
1st......House already gone
2nd...... No good as advertised as having a garden when if fact is a top floor apartment.
3rd.....was viewing but i was unable to go as i was working and has now been rented out.
The 2!!!!! agents that got back to me:-
1st...email recieved saying that they would get someone to call me later on that day ( friday ) or at the latest monday......still heard nothing from them
2nd....phoned me back had to check something with the landlady said they would call me back that day, guess what i'm still waiting on that call.
In all these messages i sent i asked if the property wasn't suitable or had already been let would they please get in contact and let me know if anything else was available. I would of thought that at least some of these would of been in touch.
What is the point in paying these estate agent/letting companies to rent your property when they dont seem to be bothered if it is rented or not. You would of thought getting paid at the moment would be their main priority since the housing market has dried up so much.
