Has anyone used PJ Properties

[deargdoom 10]

Hello,

My friends and I are planning on moving into a property in Crookes. We received the contract today which looks quite scary. Certainly scarier than my last tenancy agreement. In addition to our deposit, there is an administration fee of £80; is that the norm?

 

Has anyone else used PJ Properties before? I can find nothing on the forum apart from one reply which said they were bad.

 

Thanks

You as T are asked to pay £80? On what contractual basis?

Surely the Letting Agent is L's contractor, not yours!

Administration fee's are normal, £80 is reasonable, they go up to as much as £250.

 

If you dont like it you the only other option is private, but that can bring issues.

admin fees are par for the course.

 

 

Could you be so kind as to explain what "T" and "L" are?

 

 

txt speak is still not allowed on the forum, so surely the same rule should apply here.

I think T stands for terms and L for lettings agents.

No- see post #6.

The L/T (landlord/tenant) usage is fairly commonplace.

I have to mind my Ps and Qs,as the T&Cs state so BFN.

The objection is to txtspk abbrvns [sic], not to standard usage.

PJ Properties are good, seem decent landlords with nice houses - think they own the majority of them. £80 not bad for an admin fee!

Between solicitors maybe, between other people not so much

See post #5 for an example

£80 is a very reasonable admin fee. Blundells charge £250.
