Surprise! surprise!! Just received a letter this afternoon dated 2nd March 2009 (for the first time!) from Ludlow Thompson alleging that my tenant did not pay her rent and as such the rent is in arrears. According to the letter, it states ' please note that you will not receive a statement of account until payment is received from the Tenant'. For your information, the rent was due on 15th February. However, I have receipt evidence that my tenant paid Ludlow Thompson through their Natwest Acco ...

Despite your claims that this is not your issue, I too have had many problems with the Oval Kennington office, and would agree with the comments about Chris Valentine. In fact, he and others at the Oval office have never responded to my calls or emails, and always seems to be 'out of the office' 'on holiday' or 'in a meeting'. The level of incompetency from Ludlow Thompson is shocking. Any my property is managed by them. I will echo the sentiments of others on this message board. ...

I am concerned to read about your grievance. If you tell me who your property 'client manager' is and your name/contact details I will ensure that they get in touch with you. I wish to reassure you that ludlowthompson does not have a tactic of promising items to tenants - there is a process for agreeing items upfront in a rider agreement. If the latter is not followed I would want to investigate. With reference to the keys, we notify tenants if we need to access the property in accordance wi ...

Tenant Fees

Please see https://www.ludlowthompson.com/resources/pdf/letting-admin-fees-tenant.pdf?20190627 for information on Tenant Fees
Last updated at 16/08/2019, 5:12 PM by allAgents
Kindly note that legally, letting agents need to publish information about their tenancy fees, government-approved redress schemes and client money protection schemes on their website and on third party websites (on which agents are listed). For properties to lease/rent in England, agents need to keep this information up to date and precise on allAgents or specify within the property description.
