TOWNENDS ARE COMPLETE SCUM. I have recently ended a tenancy at a shared house of which I was a member for 1 year the 3 year term, upon leaving the property we have been asked to pay an extra £2000 on top of losing all of our existing deposit. This figure has been plucked out of the air with no evidential backup to pay for water damage to the ceiling caused by a leak.....which we reported......3 times....over the course of 2 weeks, which they did nothing about.

Basically I can't even describe that "lettings office". I am a foreign student that rented a house from them. I paid them 4500 pounds but they would not let me live in the house !! because my housemate's previous landlord didn't have fax paper to send to them a paper I don't even know what they need it for. Even though I did everything I was asked to do and paid to them the full amount of the first six months still they wouldn't let me in. I was basically left homeless. Don't get anything from them or if want to do so go there with your lawyer. In addition to that the people were unbelievably rude, I told them I would be homeless and instead of helping me I was ...  Read the complete review

Townends have the craftiest, slimiest people working for them. Just look at them - butter would not melt in their mean mouths. What type of personality must work for them. Someone who is mean, tells lies, pretentious, greedy, back-stabbing, unhelpful money grabbers. (B * T C H E S). Messing around with people's livelihood is disgusting. They should not charge you Admin fees. Your deposit should be protected by a scheme, it is a legal obligation by the Letting agencies (since April 07). See a lawyer. I think if they do not pay up within the time (10 - 14 days), they can be taken to court and have to pay 3 times the amount of deposit back to ...  Read the complete review

Express Review on Townends

I wish to add my review to Townends Letting in Egham. The ladies there are impatient, snobbish and rude. We've not even moved in, we paid a deposit to secure the flat, because the letting manager was impatient and argumentative and I thought do I really want to have this kind of aggro already even before moving in? I asked my deposit back and she refunded my deposit alright but she charged an admin fee for this? Can she do that? I'm thinking of reporting her to the HO of getting my admin fee back. I'd love to hear your comments on this.
