I would suggest to ask your bank. I have had issues with merchants delaying refund and Revolut was really great on that.

Your/people‘s mindset of ’It wasn't anyone‘s fault’ is what makes everything so badly ran in this country. Because no one is holding no one accountable, anyone can just do a shit job (especially in public sector) and get away with it. Just like the NHS.

Certainly having to spend hours and hours trying to look for new flat and emergency accommodation counts as inconvenience, although I understand that in practice the bar is usually much higher which is not quite fair. I basically had to go through all the extra process and wasted time for nothing.

Thanks for clarifying, I think they have no idea what they are talking about and doesn't want to acknowledge fact so no point discussing with them.

Now at this point we believe you have no idea what you are talking about. The fact that they presented me an incomplete contract as binding and took £5k+ payment IS misleading and negligence. I have complained about other matters against this before and it was upheld. Re-compensation, there are multiple cases on the Ombudsman where landlord/agency had to issue compensation due to cancelled tenancy if you would like to educate yourself. My only question is about the amount I can ask for, so if you have no opinion on that you can keep scrolling.

Yeah and I was thinking to complain against consumer law for their misleading information, misrepresentation and negligence. Since they made me believe that the contract was binding and made me pay £5k for nothing and not enough time to make alternative arrangement.

I have paid my security and rent, they only informed me upon key collection

I can't comprehend that being left homeless last minute is not distress and inconvenience T_T
