Where does one begin with a company so breathtakingly incompetent and one sided for his mate the landlord
Day one of My dealings with WP Fitzpatrick Properties Ltd.—and in particular their representative, Colin—have been a masterclass in how not to run a property business.i can see why all the terrible reviews
Colin embodies everything wrong with this firm: openly hostile, dismissive of tenant concerns, and operating not with professionalism but with the smug assurance that “doing favours for friends” is an acceptable substitute for legal compliance.
He would not answer one question just repeated that another EICR needs Doing and EPC but the landlord had told me she has all this paperwork done already. I have all the proof her messages
They used the same tactic to harass us to the point of calling the police on the landlords and Colin said he will Be letting him self in to carry out the checks already confirmed by the Landlord she has every single piece of paperwork in her possession so why another when no one has bothered in 9 years!!
That is how long the property I occupy went without a single legally required safety inspection—no gas certification, no electrical safety checks, no EPC, no lawful deposit protection. Nine years of negligence. During that time, it fell to me to install fire alarms, a carbon monoxide detector, and to carry out basic maintenance that the landlord and simply ignored.
When inspections were finally carried out for the first time —on 21 July 2025—since the day I moved in on the 12-4-18 they were conducted by the landlord’s personal associates. The gas engineer produced a report, which was duly provided. The electrician from MF Electrical twice confirmed the property was safe and compliant. And yet, in a twist that reeks of manipulation, the same property was suddenly declared “unsafe” weeks later, now said to require a full rewire.and no party will provide the original report
If this were mere incompetence, the law would at least require transparency. Yet nine weeks on, the legally mandated electrical safety certificate has been withheld from me for 9 years Every party involved—landlord, MF Electrical, and WP Fitzpatrick Properties—admits the report exists. Every party refuses to provide it. Instead, Colin now demands yet another inspection, this time by yet another personal acquaintance. One inspection ignored for nine years; two demanded within nine weeks of each other The irony would be laughable if the stakes were not tenant safety.
As does then EPC the landlord says she had a copy of it but you guessed it refused to supply me a copy
The pattern is clear: concealment, collusion, and harassment dressed up as “procedure.” The law requires that safety inspection reports be provided within 28 days. We are now well past that deadline, 9 weeks on and still nothing. This is not oversight—it is deliberate obstruction by the landlord and agent Colin
Colin’s excuse? That they must have simply “forgotten” to carry out safety checks, “forgotten” to protect the deposit, “forgotten” to maintain the property. Strangely, they never once forgot to collect rent. But forgot every single legal requirement and refuse to provide one piece of the documentation she says she has every copy of all on a download chat log and emails so why refuse to provide what you say you have a what’s been done…. I wonder why these documents never appear!!
WP Fitzpatrick Properties Ltd. is not merely unprofessional; they are untrustworthy. Their conduct has been reckless, contemptuous, and cynical.For landlords, benefit his mate entrusting your property to them is an invitation to legal risk.
For tenants, dealing with them is little more than sustained harassment because the landlord has been told by the police after threats and harassment, alarm and distress now it’s Colin’s turn to do checks again even though they have been done on the 21-7-25 that the landlord says she has all copies of but refuses to provide to anyone
I would urge any prospective landlord or tenant to stay well clear of this company.... Read more
