I gave these guys £500 holding deposit and underwent referencing for a house.
My current landlord didn't respond (he was in Bali) and after a week or so I received a call from RS Estates saying I had FAILED the referencing. She then said they were not returning my deposit as I had failed referencing, I was at work but told them this doesn't sound right and I'll get back to them.
Next day I saw an email from the referencing agency with a phone number so I called them.
The very lovely Rachel informed me that I HAD NOT FAILED REFERENCING but they received a call from RS Estates instructing them to terminate the incomplete process and to send them the report, which they did.
The next day (to cut a long story short) I went to RS estates' office in Tooting Bec and after being given the obligatory runaround (being told everyone was at lunch AT 4PM🙄) and accused of being aggressive (I recorded every word of the encounter) the "directors" came out of a back room with a very flush looking secretary.
I went over the story yet again and they performed they're part pretending not to know the circumstances.
I pointed out on a number of occasions that they're actions are CRIMINAL.
Sufficed to say I got my money back.
If you have ANY dealings with these people, do so with EXTREME CAUTION!!!!
