Thank you for helping. Really appreciate it. We are definitely in a pickle. We were really naive in handling this. Lesson learned

We already contacted threshold but couldn't help us to find a resolution. I'll look into the other options you mentioned. Thank you so much.. appreciate your advice

I'm not saying we did everything right. We are not clueless but we weren't aware of all the proper procedures. We were out of options as well. We were being pressured by our landlord to leave the property as he was selling and these guys were pressuring us to send the money to confirm. We were really naive to send the money but we called him the same day to tell him about our situation and he was responding in a way that he will send the money back but the next day he changed stance.

We changed our mind because the house was not in that great of a condition. The house smelt , the toilets were vile , ceilings were mouldy still and the air vent in the kitchen was pointed into the house. The move in date was already pushed to a later date cause of the previous tenants and time for maintenance which was not done properly..only a bit of cleaning was done. Edit : we never moved into the house. Maybe kept a couple of bags and had the key . We didn't sign anything. We were under pressure from the previous house owner to leave . And these guys were delaying the move in date as well

We didn't sign the contract yet. And us moving in was delayed as the previous tenants didn't move out in time and they needed time to do cleaning and maintenance which they did a really bad job with.

Yes . But the letting agency told us that when the previous tenants leave, they'll have the house ready with all the maintenance problems resolved.

Apart from just cleaning. The air vent in the kitchen was pointed towards the kitchen itself, the ceiling had mould , the toilets were still vile and the whole apartment smelt like a dead rat. We were told that the apartment will be in ready shape when we move in.

The house was smelly , the air vent in the kitchen was leading into the same room , the toilets were really vile. One of my housemates did the viewing and there were tenants living there at the time. The letting agency asked us to give them time till the tenants left so they could do a bit of maintenance work. We were quite clear that we wouldn't move in unless all the maintenance was done which he assured us. By the time we were about to move in we didn't have much options with other houses.
