Elite Estate lettings took £250 from my son as a deposit on a flat - the referencing agency they used was flawed - my son lost the flat and Elite Estates (Janet) refused to give him his deposit back telling him that they had to pay it to rightmove referencing agency.
This is a lie - and not returning his deposit is illegal:Beth McGuire (from Rightmove referencing) wrote:
“We as Rightmove Landlord and Tenant services do not take any fees or deposits from applicants for the use of our services. Therefore we have no funds to refund your son in this instance, this is taken and held by the letting agent as the person managing the property for the landlord”.
This is illegal:
From the Saturday Times Money - Charges for viewings and reference checks:
Charging for viewings, reference and credit checks have been illegal in England since the Tenant Fees Act 2019 and they are also banned in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Some letting agents are still getting this wrong, though. There are also multiple examples on social media of tenants being asked for “application” or “viewing” fees once they inquire about a property.
Tsuman said: “An application fee will most likely be a prohibited payment. My advice is to not pay this and instead register with a reputable agent who will not charge you any fee to find your next home.”
Anyone who has been asked to pay to view a rental property should report the listing and agent to their local Trading Standards team. If applicants believe that the listing is a scam they can report it to Action Fraud and contact the online platform hosting the advert, such as Facebook, to ask for it to be removed.
This insinuates Elite letting agency, Durham is a disreputable letting agent.

Difficult to find the words to express our gratitude to Janet Wilson.
Her professionalism, knowledge, guidance and support was over and above our expectations. Somehow she successfully navigated a very complex process enabling completion. Without her knowledge and competence we feared the chain was at risk of collapsing. Your service was invaluable Janet.... Read more

Simply the best! Janet Wilson went above and beyond to help with our house purchase which involved a long and complicated chain. She was amazing and if it hadn't been for her the whole chain would have collapsed. Thank you so much Janet! What a star!... Read more

Janet is amazing! Along every step of the way Janet was there to make sure that the process went smoothly. Communicating with everyone in our long chain, if it wasn't for Janet I dare say this move may not have happened. Forever grateful for the hard work and dedication. Thank you so much. 100 per cent recommend.... Read more

I was impressed with the way Janet conducted the viewing through to the completion of purchase. I note that others have mentioned about going above and beyond expectation, and I can concur with those comments. The best compliment I can give is that I will call on Elite first in the event of either selling, purchasing or any other property related matter that is conducted by estate agents. Very professional.... Read more

Beyond the great quality of the properties on offer, Janet provided a first class service and was very receptive to our needs and preferences as a couple. That was a refreshing change from a couple of other agencies we tried in the area! We are soon moving in to a dream flat in the area and are extremely grateful for Janet's amazing help! Take care, T&C... Read more

This is the second time we have used Janet and Alan from Elite Estates and Lettings and both times they have provided excellent service and shown amazing professionalism. They give such personnel service that a stressful time of moving house is made so much easier by them being involved.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Elite Estates and Lettings.
Thanks guys!... Read more

Going to miss this view, but thanks to the amazing team at Elite Estates and Lettings the apartment has a new owner. Even with a few bumps in the sale process and losing a buyer, Janet and the team were phenomenal in their commitment to selling the property. They’re happy to go above and beyond and I can’t recommend them enough.... Read more

Property listings are matched to data from the Land Registry by our clever algorithm. Clever as it may be, it isn't always right, especially if a property was listed by multiple agents. The asking price is the original listing price, NOT the final listing price.
