Tenancy review for The Old Farmhouse in Bishopsteignton, Teignmouth rented from John Towill rented via Bradleys

Landlord rating: 3

Friendly enough, but when we advised we would be moving out as our property purchase had gone through much quicker than expected, but would continue to pay rent etc until they found new tenants, they just sat on the property and didn't even put it back on the market. No consideration for the financial burden this would cause. They didn't need to make any effort, so they didn't. We have young children but as long as they were getting paid, they didn't care. so 4 months rent and council tax paid when we didn't live there. If they had tried to rent it out and it didn't rent then not a problem. Not even putting it on the market until we didn't have to pay them, very frustrating.

Agency rating: 6

Pretty good during the trying to rent it phase. It was a 6 month tenancy agreement which was fine as we were buying a property. When the purchased happened sooner than planned absolutely no interest in finding new tenants, which was the landlords position also, so we paid rent, mortgage and 2 lots of council tax for 4 months... ouch

Property rating: 3

old farmhouse which would benefit from double glazing on all windows. Very tired property but we knew what it was.

Area rating: 10

Shaldon is lovely and the farmhouse is in a beautiful spot, with lots of wildlife around.
