Ilford Homes

Worst letting agency,

I have paid this agency £500.00 deposit for a flat 2 months ago. Apparently we have to wait until they will have money to give it back. Went to a solicitor, however the claim would cost more then the money that we have to recover. DO NOT TRUST this agency especially their Mr. Zia Hoque. Con artists !!!

Do not go here. This place should get closed down.
I have paid this agency a £500.00 deposit. two days before the move in date they sent a text saying it's not going to be ready. They said they would give the money back, but didn't. Every time I call they say the same thing, but months later I still don't have the money back. They don't answer my phone any more
The person name is "ZIA UL HOQUE"

Just having seen the trend of taking £500 deposit and holding it for good I wish to share my similar experience with Ilford Homes. I gave Ziaul Haque £500 as a deposit for renting me a flat. The day he was supposed to give me the flat, to my utter horror I found he went to Bangladesh to enjoy his holiday. It was such a terrible time I had to pass only for this man. When I insisted him for the return of the money he was saying all unprofessional stuffs like his father was ill and all these. When I found he was not to return the money easily, I complained to the regulatory authority and he was then compelled to return the money. For one who has lost money to him, you can go to his regulatory authority and recover the money. I just spared him from taking tougher action considering his age and also hoped he would reform him. I cannot give him less than a star as there is no provision of minus star. For all - be aware !!!

Landlords are the ones that are mant to pay not the agents but the blame goes on the agents all the workers of this business work very hard to find u guys propertys so appreciate
Also once u pay the agency fee and u get rejected by the landlord the agents are mant to keep that fee
read the papers before signing

Amir you're not going to get your money back anymore, it's been 1 year and 3 months and they still don't have money to give us back !!!!
