Another landlord owed cash by estate agency

with the agency.

Mr Archer said: “We bought a house in Huddersfield when our children were at university and afterwards we rented it out.

“In 2011 we decided it was too much hassle for us and we handed over the management to Gallery.

“We have had three lots of tenants, the latest having been there since 2013 and they are excellent tenants who always pay on time.” But he said Gallery started to delay passing on the rent. “It started to become very disjointed,” said Mr Archer. “It was perfectly clear their paperwork wasn’t very good. It got to the stage where they were a couple of payments behind. We sent solicitor’s letters to which they haven’t replied.” Mr Archer said he had been in regular correspondence with Gallery director Dennis Goodridge and several payments totalling hundreds of pounds had been made, but said the agency still owed more than £3,000.

Mr Archer said: “Gallery have put in place a plan to repay me and they have indeed repaid the first £200. They have also sent a plan to repay the remainder of the money.

“Having spoken directly with them I am pleased to hear they acknowledge the debt and that they are doing their best now to repay.”

Mr Goodridge said: “I have been liaising with Mr Archer by phone over the last couple of days and this matter has now been dealt with very amicably.”
