Before opting for Keith Taylor's we did ask another local estate agent round and both agencies valued the house at the same price but we opted for Keith Taylor's as they are a friendly, family run business with a good reputation and they were open and straight down the line with us whereas the other agents were too brash and flashy and wanting to put the house on at a low price to get a bidding war going (a dangerous game for the seller, but easy commission for the agent if they sell).
Keith Taylor's were the only constant in the whole buying and selling process, while I would never recommend our (so called) solicitor to anyone or the estate agents whom we bought through but I can't praise Keith Taylor's enough and would definitely recommend them to anyone!
I asked for a form and by the end of the same day I sent all the documents requested for the application form. 3 days later I received a phone call saying that everything is fine but considering that the guy before me was of the same nationality and having the same first name might be an issue as the previous tenant hasn’t paid his last month’s rent and the landlord might be skeptical about having another person with the same name and nationality. I was speechless and didn’t know what to say but I faced racism many times and went over it pretty quickly. In the end I was declined with the following mentions:
1. It is not because of your nationality
2. The tenant we chose will stay on long term lease (again, they never asked me for how long I intend to stay although I passed on the information that I have been renting for the past 6 years)
Once I came back to the UK, I am decided to take legal action based on what they said as I have the proof.
Tips: if you are from a heavily stereotyped country don’t bother applying as they will exclude you and waste your time and energy like they did in my case.
