Ok so I am very annoyed today as my son went to view a new apartment in cardiff. He arrived first in the queue and had a viewing : agreed to be the new tenant and had a date of October 1st. The person who met my son was from Imperial Lettings ( who I presume rent space on Rightmove to advertise their properties ) He offered it as “unfurnished “ for £800 a month (1 bed apartment) this was agreed upon and the person showing my son around promptly said to another group that the property was now TAKEN & has been removed off the market! Approx 2 hrs later my son (who also emailed Imperial when he got home to his current flat) and informed the Lettings company “Imperial Lettings” that he would wait for further contact for form filling and deposit etc , whilst starting to organise his current let by letting his current landlord that he would be vacating in 1 month from this date! After a further hour my son was informed that someone else has offered £975 and that the company owner of Imperial Lettings has chosen this other tenant because they can get more money from this other agreement, leaving my son distraught after a long hard struggle to get back into work after the Covid years ! People like this little company Imperial Lettings need to honour agreements for potential tenants and not renege on honest potential clients & I would like to think that Rightmove needs to know about these dealings, I have tried to contact Rightmove but there doesn’t seem to be a contact number but if someone knows of one or Rightmove see this message please advise how this practice can be stopped from happening? It’s just not right and it’s just not fair to go back on a deal once agreed on a price!
