My point is that your above post read as if it were an impartial reccommendation, when it isn't.

Hang on a minute, i thought you worked for Winkworths? http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=402533 This is the phone number for the branch of Winkworths on Ringinglow Road.

I remember trying to book a viewing for a house they were advertising a while back, i was between jobs and due to start a new one the following week. However, they did not let me even book a viewing as i was unable to provide a work contact number! I have since found that they charge for supplying a reference when you leave... they will not even provide a verbal ref until you have paid the fee of £25.

You can shop around for your own if you wish, as long as you have one it doesn't matter whether you or your agent arranges it. I would be questioning why it has taken them until late February to chase a letter they claim was sent in October (bearing in mind the regulations came in on 1st of October).
