‘Estate agents are out of control – absolutely out of control’ – says TikToker – London Wallet

Agents are ‘absolutely out of control’ was the reaction of an angry woman after reading an email from a letting negotiator regarding a flat viewing.

In a video posted on TikTok, which has attracted more than 250,000 views, the young woman, called Harriet (@harriet.d.h), shared her views after a friend received a letter from a letting agent containing ‘tips’ to ‘increase the chances of your offer being accepted’.

“Apparently we need to put an offer in literally as soon as we see it, if we want it. Otherwise there’s no chance of us getting it,” she said, visibly disgusted.

The email featured what Harriett considered ‘hilarious tips’ to increase her and her friends’ chances of securing the apartment they were going to see.

“Estate agents are out of control – absolutely out of control,” she said in her post.

The TikTok post has attracted almost 1,100 comments from people largely agreeing with Harriet’s views.
