Thanks, all good points. Wasn't aware of Openrent so will look into that as I completely agree with I would like to have a direct relationship with the tenants.

I'm thinking of letting my flat out and weighing up the options over whether to use an agent or self-manage. Would be interested to hear what agents you opted to use or how much is involved with self-managing? Also any general learnings you would like to share or things to avoid? Many thanks

Also another recommendation for Aaron. We gave him a call after the reviews from here and found him efficient, professional, clean and did a great job or repair work where we had a wall removed.

I had similar issues and got in touch with Shubha Nath from Nath Solicitors. Shubha was extreamly patient, friendly, and reasonably priced + they're based near West Dulwich. www.nathsolicitors.co.uk

This info is more insightful than the woman I spoke to at Thames Water. Was on hold for 40mins and told they didn't have any works going on nearby (SE22) and that it would be a problem internally with our building. Encourage everyone to report their issue.
